MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Combustion Chamber
A qualified serviceman should remove the chamber and apply air
pressure to the inside in order to clear all passageways.
Oiling
The blower motor has an oil hole located on each end of the motor.
Use #20 motor oil only. It is best to oil the motor several times during
the heating season using 2 or 3 drops each time. If the motor fails
to start and hums, it could be a tight bearing due to lack of oil. This
may be corrected by pouring Kerosene in the oil holes, allowing to
stand for a few hours and then oiling properly.
