Start-Up Instructions
For initial start-up after heater installation, follow steps
1-5. For normal start-up, set the thermostat above room
temperature or set thermostat selector switch to the
manual position.
1. Follow all ventilation and safety information.
2. Fill tank with fuel.
3. This heater is wired with a ground connection for
your protection against electrical shock hazard. The
heater must be connected directly to a properly wired
and grounded electrical supply. Minimum breaker
size: CI230-15 amp, CI500/CI750-20 amp.
4. Set thermostat to desired room temperature or set
thermostat selector switch to the manual position.
5. This heater has a rocker style selector switch
located on the side of the heater. This switch
allows for either heat mode or ventilate mode
(no heat).
6. When the switch is set to heat , three status
lights will be activated in sequence as specic circuits
are checked by the heater controller. If the heater
does not light, and a status light is off, refer to the
trouble shooting section of this manual.
7. Do not exceed input rating stamped on nameplate
or manufacturer’s recommended pump pressure for
nozzle used. Make certain that the primary air supply
to main burner is open and free of dust, dirt and
debris for complete, proper combustion.

A. Heating Mode Operation
When the selector switch is positioned to heat and
the thermostat is calling for heat, a set of green
lights will illuminate (power ON and thermostat
ON). The burner fan motor will pre purge for 45
seconds. After the burner fan has pre purged, the
igniter will spark and ignition will occur. The main
blower has a time delay of 30 seconds before
operation. The thermostat will cycle the heater ON
or OFF based upon temperature setting. The high
limit LED will ash during pre/post purge cycle.
Note: When the thermostat cycles the heater off
or selector switch is switched to OFF, the
main fan motor will continue to run for an
additional 3 minutes to cool down the heat
exchanger.
B. Vent Mode Operation
When the selector switch is positioned to vent, only
the fan motor light will illuminate. The fan motor will
start, but the burner motor will not, nor will ignition
occur. This feature is used typically when heat
is not needed, but air circulation is required. The
heater will not cycle on its thermostat setting.
To discontinue the ventilation feature, position
the switch to midpoint O or heat If you desire to
use the ventilation feature, the fuel source is not
needed.

Safety Lock-Out
This heater is equipped with the Beckett GeniSys
Advanced Burner Control. The GeniSys is used
with a suitable cad cell ame sensor to control the
oil burner motor, igniter, and oil solenoid valve.
■ The GeniSys Burner controller has one ignition
trial. If ignition is not achieved, the GeniSys
burner control will enter a “soft lock-out” mode.
Soft lockout – the control has shut down for one of
the following safety reasons:
a) The trial for ignition fail.
b) The cad cell did not detect ame.
c) Flame is lost during ignition trial.
d) Burner control will retry ignition in 60 seconds.
TO RESET THE CONTROL BOX
Push the reset button on the GeniSys controller for
1-second and verify the red light in the reset button
shut off.

(4) Purging air out of the fuel line.
The controller will only provide the diagnostics when
the selector switch is set to HEAT
■ It is normal for air to be trapped in the fuel line on
new installations. The heater may require several
trials for ignition before air is nally purged from line
and ignition takes place.

Shut Down Instructions
If the heater is to be shut down for cleaning, mainte-
nance, or repair, follow steps 1-3. Otherwise, simply
adjust thermostat to “Off” or “No Heat” or put the HEAT/
VENT switch to the OFF position.
1. Turn thermostat dial to lowest temperature setting.
2. Allow heater to perform it post purge cool down
mode.
3. Unplug cord from outlet.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
UNTIL THE MAIN FAN MOTOR HAS CYCLED OFF
FROM COOLING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
Note: During normal operation, if either the thermostat
cycles the heater off or the selector switch is
put in the OFF position, the main fan motor will
continue to operate. This is the cool down post
purge of the heat exchanger. The high limit LED
will ash during this process. After 3 minutes of
post purge, the heater will shut-off.
Cleaning Instructions
1. Before cleaning, disconnect electrical supply.
2. The heater should have dirt or dust removed
periodically:
a. Before each use give the heater a general cleaning
using compressed air or a soft brush or dry rag on
its case and internal components. At this time, dust
off the motor case to prevent the motor from over-
heating.
WARNING
Fire, Burn, and Explosion Hazard
■ This heater contains electrical and mechanical
components in the gas management, and safety
systems.
■ Such components may become inoperative or
fail due to dust, dirt, wear and aging.
■ Periodic cleaning and inspection as well as
proper maintenance are essential to avoid seri-
ous injury or property damage.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough cleaning.
At this time, remove the fan wheel assembly and brush or
blow off and dust that may have accumulated on the n.
Additionally, make sure the burner air inlet is free of dust
accumulation.

dry brush, or a dry cloth.
Maintenance
Instructions
BEFORE EACH USE:
■ Check the area surrounding the heater to ensure it is
clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ At the installation, ensure the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
■ Check all wiring associated terminals and electrical
components within the heater for corrosion, frayed or cut
insulation, tight connections, etc. Repair or replace as
necessary.
■ Review all heater markings (i.e. wiring diagram,
warnings, start-up, shut-down, troubleshooting, etc.) at
the time of maintenance for legibility. Make sure none are

■ Check the main fan drive belt. Make sure the belt is not
cracked. If so, replace it. Additionally, ensure the belt is
not slipping, and pulleys are properly aligned and not
worn.
■ Check air gate adjustment.
■ Inspect all fuel supply lines for cracks, abrasions, or
ruptures. Replace if needed.
■ Clean and check the igniter and cad cell annually.
WARNING
Fire, Burn, and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use a pressure washer, water, or liquid
cleaning solution on any gas controls. Use of a
pressure washer, water or liquid cleaning solu-
tion on the control board components can cause
severe personal injury or property damage due
to water and or liquids.
■ In electrical components and wires causing
electrical shock or equipment failure.
