OIL SUPPLY PIPING

Install the oil tank or tanks and piping from tank to burner.
Follow local codes and practices, INSTALLATION OF OIL
BURNING EQUIPMENT CSA B139, latest edition, Section 7,
and the instruction sheet attached to the oil burner pump. A
one-pipe system should be used for gravity-fed fuel systems
and for lift systems, where the total lift is less than 2438mm (8
feet). Where the total lift is greater than 2438mm (8 feet), a
two-pipe system must be used. In some instances, local
codes may require a two-pipe system for below grade fuel oil
tanks. Be sure to set-up the fuel oil pump for the piping
system used; follow the instructions attached to the pump. Be
sure to include a good quality, low pressure drop fuel oil filter
in the supply line from the tank. This is necessary, especially
at low fuel oil flow rates (small nozzle sizes), to prevent nozzle
plugging. Fuel oil shutoff valves should be installed at the
burner on the supply (and return if two pipe) to facilitate
servicing. See Slant/Fin publication on one-pipe and two-pipe
fuel oil systems.

WIRING THE BOILER

• The wiring diagrams for the burner and boiler may be
found on pages 6-7.
• 24 volt control wiring should be approved Safety Circuit
wire, protected as needed.
• Power supply wiring to the burner must be 14 gauge or
heavier, as required, and should have a properly fused
disconnect switch. 120 volt wiring to pumps and safety
controls must also be 14 gauge or heavier. Wire must be
enclosed in approved conduit.
• All wiring must be installed in compliance with the
Canadian Electric Code, or any local or insurance codes
having jurisdiction.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING OIL BURNER
Make a positive check of A through F before starting burner:
A. Boiler and system are full of water. All air is vented from
system. See below.
B. All wiring is completed. See pages 6-7.
C. Oil supply is connected to the burner; nozzle is installed
correctly; oil valve is open at tank.
D. All combustible materials are cleared away.
E All vent piping is properly installed and sealed.
F. Burner settings are adjusted as per pages 8-10 and as
shown on boiler jacket label.

STARTUP

(COMBUSTION TEST INSTRUMENTS MUST BE USED)
A. Make sure the boiler is installed and wired properly and is
full of water.
• Start the oil burner (see burner instructions for bleeding
air from oil, etc.) IMMEDIATELY, set burner air bands to
obtain a bright fire without smoke or oil stain.
• All readings MUST be taken at the test port in the flue
adapter.
• Smoke reading should be a trace or less on the smoke
paper. Adjust the burner as necessary for proper
operation.
Note: The draft is not adjustable.
The draft should not exceed 0.35"WC
during burner operation
CLEANING AND FILLING A NEW WATER BOILER
I. BEFORE FILLING WATER BOILER
A. Check burner to be certain it is ready for firing. DO NOT
FIRE into an empty boiler.
B. Be prepared to heat raw water to at least 82°C (180°F).
as soon as it is introduced into the boiler. This
procedure will remove dissolved, corrosive gases.
C. Provide drain line, with valve, from boiler. Use a bottom
tapping. Line and drain must be suitable for handling
caustic solution.
II. CLEANING WATER BOILER SYSTEM
A. Prepare a boil-out solution of sodium hydroxide (caustic
soda) or tri-sodium phosphate.
NOTE: Use caution in handling chemicals. Caustic
soda is harmful to skin, eyes and clothing.
1. Proportions: .25kg (1 lb.) of either chemical per 189L
(50 gallons) of system water.
2. Stir chemical in water until dissolved and pour into
the boiler through a top tapping. Replace plug.
B. Fill the entire system with water.
C. Start the burner, using the start-up procedure.
D. Circulate the water through the entire system.
E. Vent the system, including the radiation.
F. Allow boiler water to reach operating temperature, if
possible.
G. Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.
H. Shut off the burner.
I. With CAUTION, drain the boiler solution to a safe
location. DO NOT LEAVE SOLUTION SITTING IN
SYSTEM OVER 2 HOURS.
J. Wash the water side of the boiler thoroughly using a
high pressure water stream. Fill and drain the boiler
several times.
III. TREATING WATER FOR CORROSION CONTROL (This is
not scale control)
A. Prepare a solution of sodium chromate.Proportions:
94cc/100L (6 oz./50 gallons) of system water.
B. Stir chemical into water until dissolved and pour into
the boiler through a top tapping. Replace plug.
IV. FILLING AND VENTING THE WATER BOILER
A. Refill the system with fresh water.
B. Bring water temperature to at least 82°C (180°F).
promptly.
C. Circulate water through entire system.
D. Vent the system, including the radiation.
E. The boiler is now ready to be put into service or on
standby.
F. If brand-name air-control devices are used, venting
instructions furnished with the devices should be
followed.
V. SAFETY CHECK FOR CONTROL SYSTEM
High limit control test: Set thermostat high enough for
boiler water temperature to reach high limit control setting.
When this temperature is reached, the high limit switch
should open, and the burner should shut off automatically.
If the high limit does not operate to shut off the burner, the
high limit or the wiring is faulty. Repair or replace
immediately.
THE FLUE IS UNDER POSITIVE PRESSURE DURING
OPERATION. ALL VENTING MUST BE SEALED AND
CHECKED ON A REGULAR INTERVAL.
