General Information
To the Owner:
Thank you for purchasing a Beckett burner
for use with your heating appliance. Please pay at- tention to the Safety Warnings contained within this instruction manual. Keep this manual for your records and provide it to your qualified service agency for use in professionally setting up and maintaining your oil burner.
Your Beckett burner will provide years of efficient op- eration if it is professionally installed and maintained by a qualified service technician. If at any time the burner does not appear to be operating properly, im- mediately contact your quali f ed service agency for consultation.
We recommend annual inspection/service of your oil heating system by a qualif ed service agency.
Daily – Check the room in which your burner/appli- ance is installed. Make sure:
•Air ventilation openings are clean and unobstruct- ed
•Nothing is blocking burner inlet air openings
•No combustible materials are stored near the heat- ing appliance
•There are no signs of oil or water leaking around the burner or appliance
Weekly
•Check your oil tank level. Always keep your oil tank full, especially during the summer, in order to pre- vent condensation of moisture on the inside surface of the tank.
!WARNING Do NOT Alter the Original Burner Design
Tampering with or altering the burner design could seriously impair performance, resulting in loss of static pressure, damage to the system components, reduced air volume, heavy smoke, flame impingement, appliance sooting, hot gas
Maintain the design to its original configuration. Only use parts specified for AF or AFG Burners
Do NOT remove the air guide from the AFG chassis.
Do NOT use ‘M’ Series air tube combinations on AF Burn- ers.
Never try to convert an AF to an AFG or vice versa Any design alteration will:
