Oil Pump Priming
Adhere to the following for pump priming:
1. Before starting the burner, make sure that the tank return line is not
clogged. Obstructions in the line could cause damage to the pump seal.
2. The pump leaves the factory with the bypass closed. Check to make sure
that the valves located on the suction line are open and that there is
sucient fuel in the tank. Priming operation is possible because the pump
is already full of fuel when it leaves the factory. If pump has been drained,
ll it with fuel through the opening on the vacuum meter prior to starting;
otherwise the pump will seize.
3. For self-priming to take place, one of the screws of the pump must be
loosened in order to bleed o the air contained in the suction line.
4. Whenever the length of the suction piping exceeds 66-98 ft (20-29.8 m),
the supply line must be lled using a separate pump.
Oil Filtration
The oil supply to the Vantage boiler should be ltered and be free of debris.
Regular maintenance of the lter is required (as per the lter manufacturer’s
recommendations) to maintain the Vantage warranty. It is the responsibility
of the installing contractor to provide adequate ltration for the oil supply
system.
Venting
Adhere to the following venting requirements.
1. The Vantage boiler can operate to the combined intake and ue exhaust
pressure drops without altering standard capacities: See Table 5.
2. The venting system draft pressure readings at the boiler exhaust
connection and air intake connection cannot exceed the maximum
values stated in Table 5; and must remain relatively stable throughout all
operating conditions, including the ignition sequence. Venting pressure
is the combined result of frictional pressure drop and natural draft (stack
eect) in the combustion air intake piping (if used) and ue gas exhaust
system.
3. Drastic draft changes during operation may result in the generation of
excessive carbon monoxide or soot, which may aect operational reliability
and condition of burner, ignition assembly, or other combustion system
components leading to increased maintenance or replacement of these
items.
4. The maximum pressure values stated in Table 5 are typically, although
not necessarily limited to, approximately 35 feet (10.6 meters) with 4
elbows of connection size piping. Alternative arrangements may be
appropriate where determined by the venting designer to be within
