Oil Burner
Burner Air Adjustment: The oil burner on this
machine is preset for operation at altitudes near 500
feet. If operated at higher altitudes, it may be necessary
to adjust the air band for a #1 or #2 smoke spot on the
Bacharach scale.
To adjust, Loosen locking screw found on the air band.
Start machine and turn burner ON and close air band
until black smoke appears from burner exhaust vent.
Note air band position. Next, slowly open the air band
until white smoke just starts to appear and note air
band position, again. Rotate the air band halfway
between to the previously noted positions. Tighten
locking screws. Typical distance from the 'black smoke'
position is roughly 3/8"-1/2" more open from the point of
visible black smoke, but may vary based upon local
operating conditions.

with Ambient temperature of 72 °F and a relative
humidity of 84% using #2 Diesel fuel oil. The unit is
shipped to a location at 5300 feet altitude with ambient
air temperature of 59 °F and a relative humidity of 25%.
The air band required adjustment to 1.8" opening and
fuel pressure lowered to 150 PSI for a high altitude
adjustment for both heat input adjustments and

• For higher altitudes, the air band opening may
need to be increased; for lower altitude, the air
band may need to be decreased.
• For higher humidity, the air band opening may
need to be increased; for lower relative
humidity, the air band may need to be
decreased.
• For higher ambient temperatures the air band
opening may need to be increased; for lower
ambient temperatures, the air band opening
may need to be decreased.
