replace the cintered bronze blower bearings with
roller Bearings. The blower assembly used in the
BCL 200 / 225 model is equipped with roller
Bearings.

WIRE MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO
THE MOTOR'S DESIGNATED NEUTRAL
TERMINAL.
20. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
A: Routine Maintenance By Home Owner
Other than remembering to arrange for the annual
professional servicing of the furnace by the
service or installation contractor, the most
important routine service performed by the
homeowner is to maintain the air filter or filters. A
dirty filter can cause the furnace to over-heat, fail
to maintain indoor temperature during cold
weather, increase fuel consumption and cause
component failure.
The furnace filter(s) should be inspected, cleaned
or replaced monthly. The furnace is factory
equipped with a semi-permanent type filter. If the
filter is damaged, replace with filters of the same
size and type. (See Appendix A, Table A-11).
During the routine service, inspect the general
condition of the furnace watching for signs of oil
leaks in the vicinity of the oil burner, soot forming
on any external part of the furnace, soot forming
around the joints in the vent pipe, etc. If any of
these conditions are present, please advice your
service or installation contractor.

soot from inside the drum and flue pipe. The Flue
Connector shall be removed to inspect and clean
the flue pipe area. To clean the radiator, remove
the round covers on the inner front panel to gain
access to the cleaning ports. When this
procedure is done for the first time, carefully cut
away the insulation covering the opening with a
sharp knife. Loosen the nuts on the radiator
clean-outs. DO NOT REMOVE THE NUTS.
Remove the covers carefully to avoid tearing the
gaskets. A wire brush can be used to loosen dirt
and debris on the inside surfaces of the radiator.
Clean out all accumulated dirt, soot and debris
with a wire handled brush and industrial a
vacuum cleaner. Before replacing the clean-out
covers, inspect the gaskets. If the gaskets are
broken, remove the remnants and replace with
new gaskets. Snug the cleanout covers. DO NOT
OVER-TORQUE
Replace the inner front panel clean-out covers.
NOTE:
A
inadvertently dropped into the interior of the
furnace can usually be easily retrieved with a
magnet on a wire handle or stout string.
The direct drive blower motor is factory oiled.
Under normal operating conditions it does not
require oiling for the first two years. Oil sparingly
(a few drops) with SAE 20 non-detergent oil.
Oiling is most easily done with a "tele-spout"
oiler. This oiler has a long flexible plastic spout.
DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE. Excess oil causes
premature electric motor failure. Belt drive blower
motors require the same oiling program.
Inspect the blower fan. Clean if necessary.
Oil Burner Maintenance: Follow the instructions of
the oil burner manufacturer. (See oil burner
manufacturer's instructions supplied with furnace).
It is advisable to change the oil burner nozzle and
oil filter on an annual basis.
The venting system should be cleaned and
inspected for signs of deterioration. Replace
pitted or perforated vent pipe and fittings. The
barometric damper should open and close freely.
All electrical connections should be checked to
ensure tight connections. Safety controls such as
the high limit controls should be tested for
functionality. The fan control should be checked
to ensure that the "fan off" function continues to
stop the blower fan at temperatures between 90°F
is
to 100°F.
