Tampering
adjustments could lead to equipment
malfunction and result in asphyxiation,
explosion or fi re.
Do not tamper with the burner or controls or make any
adjustments unless you are a trained and qualifi ed
service technician.
To ensure continued reliable operation, a qualifi ed
service technician must service this burner annually.
More frequent service intervals may be required in
dusty or adverse environments.
Operation and adjustment of the burner requires
technical training and skillful use of combustion test
instruments and other test equipment.
Turn Off Electric and Gas
Supply Before Servicing
Failure to turn off electric and gas supply could result
in electrical shock, gas leakage, explosion, or fi re
hazards.
Turn main gas valves and electric power off before
performing any maintenance.
If a maintenance procedure requires electrical power,
use extreme caution.

Annual Maintenance

(The following should be performed by a qualifi ed
service technician only.)
Burner:
1. Run the burner and perform a complete combustion
test using the proper instruments before proceeding.
If necessary refer to the section labeled Start the
Burner. Record the results for reference.
2. Inspect and clean all dirt accumulation from the
gas train, burner exterior, burner air damper, and
surrounding area.
3. Remove the blower motor and clean any accumulated
matter from the blower wheel and motor end bell.
4. Clean all fl ue passages and fl ue pipe. Replace
corroded or damaged pipes.
5. Check wheel for damage and the hub setscrew for
tightness. If the blower wheel must be removed from
the motor shaft, insure that clearance specifi cations
are maintained (blower wheel hub to motor clearance
should be .020").

to Figure 2, check the recess dimension from
refractory.
13. Inspect gas tube O-ring condition and replace if
damaged. Install gas gun assembly back into the
burner and use the jacking screw to tighten the
gas gun securely in place. (Automotive chassis or
bearing grease is suitable for o-ring lubrication.)
14. Inspect the condition of the appliance mounting plate
and burner mounting fl ange gaskets and replace any
damaged materials. See Figure 6.
15. Inspect all burner control wiring and the burner
control panel for damaged insulation and loose
