FIREBIRD ‘S’ RANGE
(c) BURNER LOCKOUT
The boiler is factory fitted with a burner control box lockout safety feature which operates
automatically if a fault occurs in the burners operation. Should this occur, the light on the front of the
burner - See above - will illuminate and its cause must be investigated.This could be caused by:
A. An interruption in the fuel supply. (Eg. empty oil supply tank)
B. An electrical supply fault.
C. A fault with the burner or its safety control system.
D. The failure of a component. (Eg. photo cell)
E. Worn or dirty oil nozzle.
Before attempting to restart the boiler the front panel and the burner cover should be removed and a
visual check made for any obvious problems such as oil leaks, loose connections etc.
ENSURE OIL TANK CONTAINS CORRECT GRADE FUEL.
TO RESTART THE BOILER
1. Press reset button (see diagram above)
2. Ensure that the boiler thermostat, time switch (if fitted) and any external
controls connected to the boiler are set to call for heat.
3. Check that the oil supply valves are open and that there is sufficient oil in the tank.
4. Check that the burner lockout light is unlit and with the ‘mains ON’ the
boiler will be ready to commence its start sequence.
