operation
❏ Test operating and limit controls on appliance as specified in appliance
instructions.
❏ Check operation of the primary control by forcing lockout to occur. For
primary controls that enter latch-up after multiple lockouts, force latch-up
to occur as well. Reset primary control per control data sheet instructions
after each test.
❏ Start and stop the burner several times, allowing the primary control to
sequence through normal operation. Verify correct operation of burner and
primary control throughout.
Verify vent system operation
❏ Verify vent is operating correctly and flue products are properly exhausted
from building. If the building contains any exhaust fans or conditions that
could affect vent performance, check burner/appliance/vent operation with
exhaust fans (or other conditions) operating.
Combustion/ventilation air
❏ Verify combustion/ventilation air openings are not/will not be obstructed.
❏ Verify air opening louvers are fully open.
❏ If louvers are motor-operated, verify motor and end switch are interlocked
with appliance/burner wiring to prevent operation of the burner if the air
louvers are not fully opened.
Prepare burner for normal operation
❏ Cycle burner off with appliance controls.
❏ Turn off power to the appliance.
❏ Seal the appliance flue test opening.
❏ Verify all components and wires are in place and burner is ready for opera-
tion.
❏ Restore power to the appliance.
Train the user
❏ Train the user to operate the burner and appliance under normal condi-
tions.
❏ Explain procedure to shut down burner/appliance when required.
❏ Review the back cover of this manual (and the appliance manual) with the
user.
❏ Verify the user is aware of all procedures specified in the manuals.
❏ Verify user will not store or use combustible liquids or materials or con-
taminants in the vicinity of the burner/appliance.

Annual start-up & service
This burner must be started and serviced at least annually
by a qualified service technician. Failure to properly maintain
and service the burner could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
❏ Discuss burner/appliance operation with user to determine any problems
that may have occurred during the previous season and to verify user is
aware of proper operation and care of the burner/appliance.
❏ Review proper operation of the appliance/burner unit with the user.
❏ Turn off power to appliance.
❏ Remove combustion head assembly to clean and adjust if necessary. (See
procedure on page 10.)
❏ If the inside surface of the air tube and/or retention ring need to be cleaned,
clean them with a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment while the com-
bustion head assembly is out of the burner.
❏ Replace the oil nozzle with the correct size specified in this manual or the
OEM guide.
❏ Inspect and adjust the ignition electrodes and insulators per instructions
on page 11 of this manual. Replace if proper spacing cannot be achieved
or if components are damaged.
❏ Close the housing cover plate and secure in place.
❏ Inspect the fuel line oil filter. Replace if necessary.
Oil line filters — Use a non-bypassing filter to prevent nozzle
plugging caused by poor oil filtration. Non-bypassing filters
prevent small foreign particles from bypassing the filter, a
common problem with fiber element type filters. Another
problem of some filters is the fiber from filter element tears
can break away and plug the nozzle or fuel unit.
❏ Perform the complete checkout procedures of pages 13 to 23, including
system inspection and checks.
❏ Inform the user of any problems found.
