SECTION II
INITIAL START UP
NOTE: Read the applicable sequence of burner/primary gas control operation, gas pressure switches, etc. in Section III
Operation and Troubleshooting before proceeding.
1. Lay out combustion test equipment, manometers, stopwatch, DC micro-amp meter, and other miscellaneous tools as
needed.
2. Adjust the primary air shutter setting per the dimensions shown in the chart below. See figures 22 -26 (pages 31-32)
for air band adjustment instructions.
NOTE: Remove block-out plate using a 1/2" nut driver or wrench from the side of the burner IF the firing rate is
over 650,000(191 kW) Btu/hr on LP ONLY. See chart below. For location of block-out plate see figure 9 below.
