8.4The correct test instruments are:
a.O
2
analyzer (electronic or Fyrite absorption system)
b.CO indicator (Monoxor or similar)
c.Stackthermometer
d.Draft gaugeor inclined manometer
e.U-tube manometer or calibrated 0-10” and0-35” w.c.pressure gauge
f.Combination volt/ammeter
g.D.C. Micro-Ammeter
9.SERVICE/MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS
9.1 Burner Fails to start:
1.Bad fuse or switch openon in-coming power source,or motor overload out.
2.Control circuithas an opencontrol such as operating, limit or lowwater cut-off.
3. Push the resetbutton on the motor or open the power circuit to the primarysafetycontrol.
4. Loose or faultywiring. Tighten all terminal screws. Checkwiring, against wiring diagram
furnished with burner.
9.2Burner Motor Runs, but PilotDoes Not Light
1. Be sure gas is turned onat meter and pilotcockis open.
2. Placehand on pilot valve to “feel” it open. Checkgauge at tee in pilot line for gas pressure and
prompt opening ofpilot valve.
3. Checkvisuallyor bysound for sparkarcing.
4. Refer to section 7.10 on pilot checking procedures.
5. Checkair switch and be sure its circuit closes during start.
9.3Burner Motor Runs, PilotLights, but Main Gas Valve Does Not Open
1. Checkflame signal. Ifsignal is low,adjust pilot gas pressure and air settings for improved readings.
2. Checkgas valvecircuit.
3. Shut-off cockor test cocknot open.
4. Defectivemain valve.
9.4Occasional Lockouts For No Apparent Reason
1. Re-checkmicoamp readings. Ifinsufficient, checkgas pressure and air damper setting. Check
electrode setting. Ifflame signal is low, flame rod mayhave to bere-positioned.
2. Checkignitioncable and electrode porcelainfor damage or breaks, which couldcause short.
3. Checkfor loose or broken wires.
9.5Burner Will NotStart – Even Though Burner Had Never Failed Before Or Had Been running On Normal
Cycling Without Failure.
1. Operating Control circuit open.
2. Defectivecontrol or loose wiring.
3. Limit circuit open.
9.6 The burner must be periodicallyinspected to insure safetyand performance. All maintenance must be
performed with the main electrical power off and the main gas shutoff valve off.
1. Inspect blower inletscreen and clean anybuildup oflint.
2. Inspect blower wheel blades and clean anybuildup ofdirt.
3. Inspect ignition electrodes andwiring for anycracks that maycause shorting.
4. Oil the blower motor at themanufacturer’s recommended intervals.
5. Verifythat the pilot andor direct sparkelectrodes are still within specifications (set per drawing 6,6A
and 6B in this manual).
6. Verifythe proper operation ofthePrimarySafetyControl, airflowswitch, and operating controls.
7. Checksafetygas shutoff valves for gas tightness.
