9. To remove the individual burners:

a.Remove the flash car- ryover (one screw per

burner).

b.With the burner rack upside down, remove the sheet metal screws (located at the rear) that retain the burner holddown.

c.Lift the rear of the burner upward slightly and pull back, remov- ing the individual burners.

d.To replace individual burners, reverse the above procedure.

10.To replace the burner rack assembly and the bottom panel, re- verse the above procedure (Steps 1-8).

Individual burners may be cleaned using air pressure. Use an air nozzle to blow out scale and dust accumulation from the burner ports. Alter- nately, blow through burner ports and venturi.

CAUTION: Eye protection is recommended.

Use a fine wire to dislodge any stubborn particles. Do not use anything that might change the port size.

When any service is completed, be careful to reassemble correctly to ensure that no unsafe conditions are created. When re-lighting, always follow the lighting instructions on the heater.

33. Pilot and Ignition System

The pilot can be serviced by opening the bottom access panel of the heater. Follow the first four steps of instructions for Burner Rack Re-

moval, Paragraph 32. The pilot can be removed to check the wiring, the spark gap, or to remove the orifice for cleaning. When the pilot is re-installed, be sure to include the pilot hole cover plate.

CAUTION: Due to high voltage on pilot spark wire and pilot electrode, do not touch when energized. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

The ignition controller of the intermittent electronic ignition pilot sys- tem is visibly located on the back of the heater. (See Figure 31.) Do not attempt to disassemble the ignition controller. There are no field re- placeable components in the control enclosure. However, each heating season the lead wires should be checked for insulation deterioration and good connections.

Proper operation of the electronic spark ignition system requires a minimum flame signal of .2 microamps as measured by a microampmeter.

For further information and check out procedure on the intermittent electronic ignition pilot system, refer to the manufacturer's control op- erating instructions supplied with the heater.
