CIIIMNEY
Follow
the recommendations of the heating
unit
manufacturer. lt must be
properly
designed and of adequate size
and
should be
above the surrounding
objects, tile-lined,
with no
obstructions
and be in
good
state
of
repair.
The smoke
pipe
should
set
flush
with
the
inside of the tile and cemented in
place.
All
cleanout
doors
should
be
sealed.
DRAFT REGULATIONS
The
use of a draft
regulator is recommended
and
should
preferably
be mounted
in the smoke
pipe.
Use a
draft
gauge
to adjust
to
proper
opening.
When
the burner
air supply is
properly
adjusted,
the
combustion chamber
draft
will
be
approximately
-.
01 to -.
02
WC
and the stack
draft will be
-.02
to
-.04
WC, The
larger
the
installation, the
greater
the
draft
will
be
required at the stack to obtain the
-.01, to
-.02
WC
at the combustion
chamber.
hrozzLEs
Use
the
proper
size, type and spray
pattern
that
heater manufacturers
recommend; in some cases of
upgrading or
conversion
installations, the
use of an 80(
Hollow
or
Solid
Nozzle
are
the best to start
with.
STARTING
PROCEDURE
STARTING
BURNER
Be sure
main switch is in
"off"
position
and
be sure
thermostat is substantially
above
room temperature,
the oil tank
is filled,
all valves are
open and controls set
for operation. Adjust
air supply on
burner by loosening
the locking
screw
on outer
air band,
and open
partially.
Open
the inspection door
and turn on switch.
Prime
pump
according to the
pump
manufacturer's
recommendations
and check
pressure.
lf safety lockout
occurs reset
after 1
or
2
minutes
(cau-
tion). Do not
run fuel
unit dry for more
than
5
minutes.
When
fire
is established
make a temporary
air adjustment
lor
a clean
combustion
flame, reduce air supply until
flame tips appear
slightly smoky,
then readjust so flame tips are
clean looking. Leave inspection
door open
until chamber
is
dry.
When normal
temperatures
are
reached, close
inspection door
and adjust
draft regulator,
see
column under
"DRAFT
REGULATIONS".
FTNAL
ADJUSTMENTS
At this
point
a final adjustment should be
used
by
the
use of
a COMBUSTION
TEST KlT. After
operating 10
minutes
to
warm up unit, a smoke tester should be used
to take
a smoke
reading.
We
are
wanting no
greater
than
a
#1;
(Shell
Bacharach
Scale). And
less than
a #1 smoke
is
desired.
Sometimes a
new heating unit
requires mqre time than this
to
burn clean due to the oil film
on the new heater unit
surfaces.
Recheck draft and
take a COz reading over the fire
and
in the stack. lf
a
larger
differential between COz
readings is noted, air
leakage
is the
most common cause
(see
:olumn under HEATING
PLANT).
CO, readings
must all be
taken ahead of draft control.
The
COz measured in the
stack
should be at least
9o/"
tor oil rates 1.00
G. P
H. or below, and
at least 10%
for oil rates
over
1.00 G.P.H.
Unit
should be started and
stopped
several times to assure
good
operation.
Open inspection door,
turn off oil valve and
check
out safety
timing
of combustion control. Check operation
of limit controls
and thermostat. Check for oil leaks.
Note: All installations should
be reinspected
after 1 or 2
weeks
of normal
operation.
FTNA[-
CHECKS
Be
sure air band and draft control adjustments are locked,
and the
controls
on heating
unit are adjusted in accordance
with the Heater
and
Control
Manufacturer's Instruction Sheets. Use
efficiency chart
(page
4)
to
finalize set-up.
MAINTENANCE
OILfNG MOTOR - By
proper
oiling
twice
ayeat,
the motor
life
will be
increased; only
a few
drops
of
a
non-detergent
type of
oil at both
motor holes is needed.
FILTER - The oil filter cartridge
should be replaced
once a
year
so the fuel oil
will not become contaminated
and
plug
up fuel
pump
and nozzle of oil burner.
NOZZLE - The nozzle
should be changed at least
once a
year
before
the start-up
of the heating
season. Replace
with
proper
nozzle.
Handle
Nozzles
by
hex only. Oil from the
fingers
on the
face or filter
of nozzle may
adversely
affect spray
characteristics,
COMPONENTS
-
lf
for
any reason
any
of the burner
pans
have to
be replaced,
always
use
parts
recommended
by
the
manufacturer. Specify
part
numbers,
and
description,
when
ordering.

ELECTRODE
SETTINGS
-
This is very important
for reliable
ignition
of the
oil; check these once a
year
in accor-
dance with
the
instructions
provided
in this manual.
FAN
&
BLOWER
HOUSING
-
This must be kept clean, free of
dirt and lint.
Open
transformer
to check
fan
blades for
above.
Be
sure
the electric
power
is off on
burner
when
transformer
is opened
for the
inspection.
