TUNE-UP PROCEDURE

A. To Put The Burner in Operation:

Remove the temporary oil connection

previously used and install a pressure gauge. Set all the controls to the normal

starting position. Close the main cut out switch. The burner should start, ignite

and burn. After you have obtained a flame, the oil pressure should be checked

and adjusted to a pressure of 100 psi. This is the normal operating pressure.

The air inlet can then be adjusted so that the flame is a clean yellow with

slightly smoky tips. The burner flame can be observed through the peep site

hole. It may be necessary to readjust the air inlet after the burner is running

twenty minutes or more in order to obtain the proper fire with a hot combustion

chamber. After final adjustment, tighten lock screws on air inlet, let unit cool

and restart burner to be sure burner operates on a cold start. Remove the

pressure gauge and install pipe plug.

B. Using Instruments To Set Fire: It is strongly suggested that the installer use

combustion test instruments when adjusting a flame. We suggest 9 1/2% to

11% CO2 with a smoke reading no darker than 1 on the Bachrach Scale.

Adjust the air inlet on the burner for the minimum amount of air for clean

combustion while the combustion chamber is hot. Adjust the draft regulator so

that there is -.01" to -.04" draft over the fire, maximum. Take readings and

adjust air so that a minimum of 9 1/2% CO2 is obtained with a smoke reading

between 0 and 1. When using instruments in setting a fire, do not lean towards

getting a greater percentage of CO2 than a clean fire will give. It is more

important to keep the inside of the combustion system clean than to receive a

higher CO2.

C. Nozzle (Oil Input) Variations:

Oil service personnel will carry several

nozzles of different manufacture, angles and types of spray in order to obtain

the most suitable for the particular application. Fuel oils vary greatly. Because

of this, nozzles will not always deliver the gallons per hour or angle of spray

that is indicated on the nozzle. In addition, it has been found that, in certain

areas, due to local conditions, nozzles other than those furnished as original

equipment, give better performance due to the type of oil being delivered.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE BURNER WHEN EXCESS OIL

HAS ACCUMULATED, WHEN THE UNIT IS FULL OF VAPOR, OR

WHEN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER IS HOT.
