BURNER SYSTEM
NEVER store combustible materials
near the distributor, especially near the burner
system.
Excessive smoke or trouble starting the diesel burner
system means the burner cover must be removed for
cleaning or adjustment.
• Remove the burner cover every month to check and
thoroughly clean the burner system if needed.
• Inspect the LPG burner and its mounting system daily:
• Tighten, repair or replace components, hoses and
ttings as needed.
• Check propane level and rell when needed.
• Always check the valves and fuel lines before lighting
burners. If a leak is suspected, use soapy water to
identify the source of the leak.
• Tighten ttings that are leaking and replace any
damaged parts.
• Use a wrench to tighten the burner mounting
hardware before lighting the burners.
• Contact your authorized dealer to check (or replace if
needed) the ue liner and tubes annually.
• Inspect the ue tubes for cracks or other damage.
