BURNER COMBUSTION CONES
AND GASKET
Very little servicing is required for the combustion
cones and gasket. Routine cleaning is suffi cient to
ensure that the cones remain unblocked by dust
and dirt. Periodic tightening of the the three burner
plate nut ensures that the brood heater operates to
normal combustion characterisitics.
If not cleaned, the venturi tube and inner combus-
tion cone will become blocked, creating poor com-
bustion, gas backfl ashing through the air housing,
or outages. This may require some disassembly if
the blockage cannot be removed by normal (air)
cleaning methods. Refer to the following instruc-
tions.
OUTER CONE REMOVAL I-17
a. Using pliers,straighten the tab on the truss clip.
See Fig. 20. The clip will drop to the cone side of
