start-up.
Open the ball valve and turn on the main switch, start the burner and begin
setting up the system.

6.2.2 Inlet cone, air control
The air ow is also affected by the position of the intake cone. This rarely needs
adjustment, however, and should be maintained in the standard position
”STD” for good operation and starts. (A cast-in arrow on the fan housing
indicates the position of the inlet cone. In addition to the scale on the inlet
cone casting, there is also a mark (M) indicating the factory setting.
6.2.3 Rotation of air intake
The air intake can be rotated into various positions, in order to t the burner
into different environments.
To rotate the air intake, loosen the three screws securing the air intake and the
two screws fastening the air pressure switch. Then rotate the air intake to the
desired position and tighten the screws.
The air intake position does somewhat affect the air ow through the burner.
The position giving the largest ow is with the air intake downwards.
6.2.4 Air duct
A hose connection via a air duct is available in three different dimensions, 48,
68 and 78 mm outer diameter ”D”. The air duct is installed on the air intake at
the place where the grid is installed in the standard design.
