Have the burner inspected, tested and started at least annually
by a qualifi ed service technician. This annual test/inspection
should include at least the following:
Replace the oil supply line fi lter. The line fi lter cartridge
must be replaced to avoid contamination of the fuel unit

Inspect the oil supply system. All fi ttings should be leak-
tight. The supply lines should be free of water, sludge and
other restrictions.
Remove and clean the pump strainer if applicable.
Replace the nozzle with the exact brand, pattern, gph, fl ow
rate and spray angle.
