excessive wear. Replace it, if required. Check and adjust oil pump pressure, if needed. Refer to Initial Heating System Adjustments section of this manual.

4.Heat Exchanger – Visually inspect the heat exchanger for excessive carbon (soot) build-up. Refer to the Heat Exchanger section of the manual.

5.Oil Filter – Replace the supply line oil filter cartridge with a new filter of the same type and rating. Clean the body of, or mounting plate for, the oil filter.

6.Evaporator and Condenser Coils – Inspect both the evaporator and the condenser coils for dust, dirt, debris, and insects lodged between the fins.

At least once a year, inspect the heat exchanger for evidence of corrosion, pitting, warpage, deterioration, and carbon (soot) build-up. A layer of soot on the inside of the heat exchanger will act as an insulator and reduce heat transfer, resulting in less heating efficiency.

Also, look for loose or deteriorated gaskets and insulation around the flue pipe, the burner, and accessible areas of the heat exchanger. If this inspection indicates heat exchanger cleaning is necessary, follow the heat exchanger cleaning instructions below.

1.Disassembly to Access Heat Exchanger

To clean the heat exchanger, first turn off all electrical power to the unit. Next, remove the cleanout access panel inside the burner compartment to gain entry to the cleanout covers, refer to Figure 9.
