Page 21: Heater Start-Up
Heater Start-Up Procedure Start-Up After installing and testing your unit, follow the procedure below to start the system. • Turn on the main electrical supply to the heater. • Set the manual disconnect switch to the “ON” position. • Set the thermostat to a temperature above room temperature. NOTE: When the low oil temperature limit senses the proper oil temperature, the green light on the burner junction box will come on and the heater will fire. - Page 22 Check-Test WARNING: If there is insufficient draft, it will create Continued a back pressure resulting in oil fumes in the building and/or pulsating when the burner starts and stops. It may cause excess deposits of soot and overheat the heat exchanger resulting in premature failure of the chamber.
