IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 1

IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 1

PILOT WILL NOT LIGHT

Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, e.g coal, soot, etc which could short the spark, clean the area. Check for fluff in the pilot aeration hole.

See Diagram 7, arrow A.

IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 2

NO SPARK

Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, e.g coal, soot, etc which

could short the spark, clean the area.
