4. Determine that the burner is operating properly and that the main burner ignition operates satisfactorily
by interrupting and re-establishing the electrical power of the appliance in any convenient manner. Test
the pilot or burner safety device to determine if it is operating properly by extinguishing the pilot or
disconnecting the ame safety circuit and air pressure switch sensing tube from the pressure switch on the
Control Kit.
5. Visually determine that the main burner is burning properly; i.e., no oating, lifting, or ashbacks.
6. Test for spillage at the barometric draft control opening and burner inlet air location after 5 minutes of
main burner operation. Use a draft gauge, ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or
pipe. If spillage occurs, adequate air is not available. Shut o heating appliance thermostat and check for
spillage around the barometric draft control and burner inlet air location after the Power Venter has stopped
operation. If a ow reversal is noticed, house depressurization is occurring and make up air is required.
7. Turn on all other fuel burning appliances within the same room so that they will operate at their maximum
input. Then repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8. Return doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers, and any other fuel burning appliances to their
previous condition of use.
TROUBLE SHOOTING HINTS
1. Main burner does not re when thermostat calls for heat with venter operating.
a. Check for blocked ue vent.
b. Check system draft.
c. Check air pressure switch adjustment.
d. Check wiring connections between air pressure switch and burner.
e. Check air pressure switch for continuity across terminals, during venter operation.
2. Venter does not activate when thermostat calls for heat.
a. Check all appliance and Control Kit internal wiring.
b. Refer to System Check Out Procedures section to ensure proper sequence of operation.
3. Flue gas odor.
a. Check system draft.
b. Check for negative pressure in building.
MAINTENANCE
Motor: Inspect the motor once a year - motor should rotate freely. To prolong the life of the motor, it must be
lubricated with six drops of SWG Superlube, Field Controls Part #46226200, annually.
Blower Wheel: Inspect the Power Venter blower wheel annually to clear any soot, ash, or coating which
inhibits either rotation or air ow. Remove all foreign materials before operating.
Vent System: Inspect all vent connections annually for looseness, evidence of corrosion, and ue gas leakage.
Replace, seal, or tighten pipe connections if necessary. Check the Power Venter choke plate to ensure it is
secured in place. Check the barometric draft control to ensure the gate swings freely.
System Safety Devices: With the heating system operating, disconnect the air pressure sensing tube from the
air pressure switch on the Control Kit. This will stop the burner operation. Reconnecting the tube should relight
the burner.
