62. MAIN GAS BURNER AIR INLET
SHUTTERS
(All Gas Models)
Refer to Figure 21.
Air inlet shutter adjustments will vary from
location to location and will depend on the vent
system, number of units installed, make-up air and
line gas pressure. Opening the shutter increases
the amount of air supplied to the burner while
closing the shutter decreases the air supply. Adjust
air shutter as follows:
a. Unlock and remove the access door.
b. Start the tumbler and check the flame pattern.
Correct air and gas mixture is indicated if the
flame pattern is primarily blue, with small
yellow tips, and bends to the right of the heater
section. Too little air is indicated if the flame is
yellow, lazy and smoky.
c. To adjust the air inlet shutter, loosen adjusting
screws.
d. Push or pull shutters in or out as necessary to
obtain desired flame intensity.
e. After shutter is adjusted, tighten locking screw
securely.
f. If the shutter is correctly adjusted, but the flame
pattern is straight up, insufficient air is flowing
through the tumbler and airflow switch is
improperly set. A flame pattern that flares to
the right and left indicates that no air is flowing
through the tumbler. Adjust airflow switch.
The air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient primary air is metered
into the system for proper combustion and
maximum efficiency. Before adjusting the
inlet shutter be sure that all lint is removed
from lint compartment and lint screen.
