Installation Light oil supply Explosion danger due to fuel leaks in the presence of a flammable source. Precautions: avoid knocking, attrition, sparks and heat. Make sure the fuel interception tap is closed before performing any operation on the burner. The fuel supply line must be installed by qualified personnel, in compliance with current standards and laws.
Installation 4.8.2 Hydraulic system layout 4.8.3 Hydraulic connections The pumps are equipped with a by-pass that connects return line and suction line. The pumps are installed on the burner with the by-pass closed by screw 6), see diagram Fig. 14. It is therefore necessary to connect both hoses to the pump.
