Burner Adjustment - North Star M157592O Owner's Manual

The oil burner is preset and performance tested at the factory (elevation 1100 feet). Different
altitudes may require a one-time initial burner adjustment.
CAUTION:
If white smoke appears from the burner exhaust vent during start-up or operation,
discontinue use and readjust air bands.
Specific steps for burner correction are given below.
Burner Adjusting the burner will require you to access the burner from underneath the
Correction pressure washer while someone else is operating the spray gun.
Detailed instructions:
1. Make sure burner is cool to the touch before attempting to adjust.
2. Begin operation of the pressure washer and switch on the burner, as instructed
in the "Operation" section of the manual. Have someone operate the spray
gun so the burner fires.
3. Locate the air intake adjustment band as shown in Figure 13 below. Observe
the position of the arrow on the air band relative to the calibration numbers
directly to the right. (Note: Factory calibration starts out at close to "1".)
