4.13.1 Pump priming

Before starting the burner, make sure that the tank
return line is not clogged.
Obstructions in the line could cause the seal located
WARNING
on the pump shaft to break.
The time required for this operation depends upon the diameter
and length of the suction tubing.
If the pump fails to prime at the first starting of the burner and the
burner locks out, wait approx. 15 seconds, reset the burner, and
then repeat the starting operation as often as required.
After 5 or 6 starting operations allow 2 or 3 minutes for the trans-
former to cool.
The priming operation is possible because the
pump is already full of fuel when it leaves the facto-
ry. If the pump has been drained, fill it with fuel
through the opening on the vacuum meter prior to
WARNING
starting; otherwise, the pump will seize.
Whenever the length of the suction piping exceeds
66 - 98 ft, the supply line must be filled using a sep-
arate pump.
