To the Owner:
Thank you for purchasing a Beckett burner
for use with your heating appliance. Please pay at-
tention to the Safety Warnings contained within this
instruction manual. Keep this manual for your records
and provide it to your qualified service agency for use
in professionally setting up and maintaining your oil
burner.
Your Beckett burner will provide years of efficient op-
eration if it is professionally installed and maintained
by a qualified service technician. If at any time the
burner does not appear to be operating properly, im-
mediatel_L contact ouv_QU_Lgualified s ervice

We recommend annual inspection/service of your
oil heating system by a qualified service agency.
Daily - Check the room in which your burner/appli-
ance is installed. Make sure:
• Air ventilation openings are clean and unobstruct-
ed
• Nothing is blocking burner inlet air openings
• No combustible materials are stored near the heat-
ing appliance
• There are no signs of oil or water leaking around
the burner or appliance
Weekly
• Check your oil tank level. Always keep your oil tank
full, especially during the summer, in order to pre-
vent condensation of moisture on the inside surface
of the tank.
Do NOT Alter the Original
Burner Design
Tampering with or altering the burner design
could seriously impair performance, resulting
in loss of static pressure, damage to the system
components, reduced air volume, heavy smoke,
flame impingement, appliance sooting, hot gas
puff=back, and asphyxiation or fire hazards.
Maintain the design to its original configuration.
Only use parts specified for AF or AFG Burners
Do NOT remove the air guide from the AFG chassis.
Do NOT use 'M' Series air tube combinations on AF Burn-
ers.
Never try to convert an AF to an AFG or vice versa
Any design alteration will:
• Void UL Listing
• Void manufacturer's warranties
• Seriously impact burner performance
• Greatly increase your liability risk
Impaired Burner Perfor=
mance and Fire Hazard.
Do NOT operate the burner beyond specifica-
tions outlined in the following Table.
• For applications beyond these limits, consult
