All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
The oil burner will mount on three stud mounting bolts on the lower mounting plate covering the opening in the front of the heat exchanger. The end of the burner tube should be inserted no further than 1/4 inch back from the inside surface of the combustion chamber. A distance further than 1/4 inch back from the inside chamber wall may cause impingement and sooting.
NOTE: OVERFIRE AIR TAP MAY BE LOCATED ON EITHER SIDE OF FLAME INSPECTION COVER. (See Fig. 8).

When mounting the burner, the upper mounting plate (Fig. 8) must be removed to provide access to the area in front of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber can then be moved forward or backward slightly to allow for adjustment in positioning the burner tube. A fiber insulating sleeve or amulet is provided on the burner tube of specific Thermo Pride burners.(see Fig. 10). See Thermo Pride burner application chart for type of insulator. Do not allow the burner tube or end cone to physically touch or protrude into the chamber, as excess heat transfer could result in destruction of the tube, end cone or both. The burner tube/end cone is properly positioned, when the end is ¼ inch back from the inside surface of the combustion chamber wall.

NOTE: Do not place loose insulation around chamber sides and back except for the larger units (Models OL33, 37 and 39) where the loose insulation is to be used around rear of chamber to ensure chamber stability. See larger unit assembly instructions for further details. (See Fig. 9).
