TEST SOLUTION
-
Check if pilot can be lit by a match.
-
Check that the wire is connected to the push button igniter.
-
Check if the push button igniter needs tightening.
-
Replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.
-
Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken.
-
Replace the push button ignitor
-
Fill the tank.
-
Spark gap should be 0.150” (3.8mm) to 0.175” (4.5mm) from the
electrode tip and the pilot burner. To ensure proper electrode
location, tighten securing nut (fi nger tight plus 1/4 turn).
-
Check that the manual valve is turned on.
-
Check the pilot orifi ce for blockage.
-
Replace the valve.
-
Call the gas distributor.
-
Check pressure readings:
-
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-
clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge
tubing over the test point. Gauge should read as described
on the chart below. Check with main burner is operating on
„HI‟.
-
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using
screw (B). Gauge should read as described on the chart
below. Check that main burner is operating on „HI‟.
-
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN
SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVER
TORQUE.
-
Leak test with a soap and water solution.
