Symptom
Brooder is not glowing
red.
Brooder will not attain
the desired temperature.
Flames flaring up
outside of emitter
surface.
Possible Cause
• The supply gas pressure is too low.
• Improper size of gas piping.
• The orifice is clogged.
• Incorrect orifice size
• There is insufficient heat in the building
for heat loss (i.e., not enough brooders).
• The thermistor temperature sensing bulb
in incorrectly placed.
• The thermostat is out of calibration.
• The gas pressure is too high.
• Incorrect orifice size.
• Incorrect type of gas supplied to the
brooder.
• Not enough combustion air.

Maintenance
• Check the manifold gas pressure and adjust if
necessary.
• If you are not sure of the performance, use
the NFPA 54 gas pipe sizing Chart 3.5 on
page 20.
• Clean the orifice.
• See the instructions for correct orifice size
and replace if necessary.
• Conduct heat loss and add brooders or other
source of heat as necessary.
• Reposition as necessary for proper operation.
NOTE: The sensing bulb should be shielded
from direct radiation to prevent short cycling
of the brooder.
• Recalibrate (if possible) or replace.
• Check the manifold gas pressure and adjust if
necessary.
• See instructions for correct orifice size and
replace if necessary.
• Check the nameplate to identify the correct
type of gas the brooder is equipped to
operate using.
• Clean the inside of the burner with a wire
brush and blow out with compressed air.
