Example: If the site elevation is 2000m
(6682 ft.) then 14 kPa (2 psi) must
be added to the pressure on the data
plate.
If it is necessary to adjust the pressure,
remove the cover on the regulator and

direction) of the adjusting screw. Set the
adjusting screw so that it is one half turn air

2.6.5 Fuel Pressure Adjustment
If the fuel system and burner appear to be
operatingcorrectly,thefuelpressuremaybe
slightly adjusted to match the TEG’s voltage
with the rated V
set
value. Figure 12 can be
usedtodeterminehowmuchtoadjustthefuel
pressure.

=6.5V
