Removal Of Soot & Heating Coil; Pressure Relief Valve; Rupture Disk; Fuel - Landa PGHW5-5000 Operator's Manual

Removal of Soot and Heating Coil
In the heating process, fuel residue in the form of
soot deposits may develop on the heating coil pipe
and block air flow which will affect burner combustion.
When soot has been detected on visual observation,
the soot on the coil must be washed off after following
the coil removal steps.

Pressure Relief Valve

Each machine is equipped with a relief valve to relieve
pressure in the system when higher than normal op-
erating pressures are encountered or if the unloader
valve should fail. Unusually high pressures come from
an object plugging the spray nozzle. If operating pres-
sure is found to be normal and the relief valve continues
to leak, repair or replace valve.
CAUTION: This valve must be opened each year to
check operation.

Rupture Disk

If pressure from pump or thermal expansion should
exceed safe limits, the rupture disk will burst, allowing
high pressure to be discharged through hose to ground.
The ruptured disk needs to be replaced.

Fuel

Use clean fuel oil that is not contaminated with water
and debris. Replace fuel filter and drain tank every 100
hours of operation.
Use No. 1 or No. 2 heating oil (ASTM D306) only.
NEVER use gasoline in your burner fuel tank. Gasoline
is more combustible than fuel oil and could result in a
serious explosion. NEVER use crankcase or waste oil
in your burner. Fuel unit malfunction could result from
contamination.

Fuel Control System

This machine utilizes a fuel solenoid valve located on
the fuel pump to control the flow of fuel to the combus-
tion chamber. The solenoid, which is normally closed,
is activated by a flow switch when water flows through
it. When the operator releases the trigger on the spray
gun, the flow of water through the flow switch stops,
turning off the electrical current to the fuel solenoid.
The solenoid then closes, shutting off the supply of
fuel to the combustion chamber. Controlling the flow of
fuel in this way gives an instantaneous burn-or-no-burn
situation, thereby eliminating high and low water tem-
peratures, and combustion smoke normally associated
with machines incorporating a spray gun.
CAUTION: Periodic inspection, to insure that the
fuel solenoid valve functions properly, is recom-
mended. This can be done by operating the ma-
chine and checking to see that the burner is not
firing when the spray gun is in the off position.

Fuel Pressure Adjustment

To control water temperature, adjust fuel pressure by
turning the regulating pressure adjusting screw clock-
wise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. Do
not exceed 200 psi. NOTE: When changing fuel pump,
a bypass plug must be installed in return port or fuel
pump will not prime.

Burner Nozzle

Keep the tip free of surface deposits by wiping it with
a clean, solvent-saturated cloth, being careful not to
plug or enlarge the nozzle. For maximum efficiency,
replace the nozzle each season.
Burner Air Adjustment:
The oil burner on this machine is preset for opera-
tion at altitudes below 1000 feet. If operated at higher
altitudes, it may be necessary to adjust the air band
setting. Adjust air band for a #1 or #2 smoke spot
on the Bacharach scale. If a smoky or eye-burning
exhaust is being emitted from the stack, two things
should be checked. First, check the fuel to be certain
that kerosene or No.1 home heating fuel is being used.
Next, check the air adjustment on the burner. An oily,
smoky fire indicates a lack of air and the air band
should be moved to allow the air to flow through the
burner. Sharp eye-burning fumes indicate too much air
flowing through the combustion chamber. The air band
should be readjusted to allow less air to flow through
the burner.
CAUTION: If white smoke appears from burner
exhaust vent during start-up or operation, discontinue
use and readjust air bands.
NOTE: If a flue is installed, have a professional ser-
viceman adjust your burner for a #1 or #2 smoke spot
on the Bacharach scale.
For additional burner component information, see
Burner Assembly Exploded View page. It is recom-
mended that the oil burner be serviced yearly or as
needed. Contact your local service center.
