IMPORTANT REMINDERS
1. Install all electrical work in strict accordance with local codes and
ordinances.
2. All unions must be of the ground seat type.
3. A check valve shall be installed in the suction line when the oil storage
tank is below the burner to prevent the return of the oil to the oil storage
tank when the fuel unit is not in operation.
4. Lubricate oil burner motor.
5. Set the draft to a range of -.02" W.C. to -.05" W.C.
6. See that the smoke pipe enters into the chimney far enough to be tight
and not so far as to reduce flue area. Its end should be flush with the
inside of the chimney.
7. Be sure that there is at least -.01" W.C. draft over the fire.
8. Be sure that there is no backpressure such as down draft or back draft.
9. Be sure that there is sufficient air in heater room for proper combustion at
all times.
10. Explain the operation of the burner to the owner -show where to oil -how
to operate controls and main cutout switch.
11. Hang burner-operating instructions as supplied with burner in prominent
place near installation.
WARNING
Draft reading in the stack should be -.02” W.C. to -.05” W.C. High draft
may be caused by over firing, or too much excess air. If there is back
draft caused by down draft, DO NOT operate the burner until this
situation is corrected. Back pressure (back draft or down draft) may also
be caused by the chimney termination being lower in elevation than
surrounding objects, such as buildings, hills, trees, rooftops, etc. Back
pressure may also be caused by an exhaust fan in the building.
CAUTION
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this
water heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally
two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce
the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot
water faucet be opened for several minutes at a convenient sink before
using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If
hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as
air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There shall
be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
