Figure 1. Typical Burner Nameplate

A. Equipment Located in Con

fi

 ned Space

The con

fi

 ned space should have two permanent openings: 

one near the top of the enclosure and one near the 
bottom of the enclosure. Each opening shall have a free 
area of not less then one square inch per 1,000 BTU’s 
per hour of the total input rating of all equipment within 
the enclosure. The openings shall have free access to the 
building interior, which should have adequate in

fi

 ltration 

from the outside. 

B. Exhaust Fans and Other Air-Using 
Devices.

Size air openings large enough to allow for all air using 
devices in addition to the minimum area required for 
combustion air. If there is any possibility of the equipment 
room developing negative pressure (because  of exhaust 
fans, for example), either pipe combustion directly to the 
burner or provide a sealed enclosure for the burner and 
provide it with its own combustion air supply.

C. Clearances to Burner and Equipment

Provide space around burner and equipment for easy 
service and maintenance. Check minimum clearances 
against those shown by the equipment manufacturer and 
by applicable codes.

D. Exhausting Hazardous Fumes

See warning on this page. Also be conscious of any fumes 
produced by the materials that are being heated. Always 
ensure adequate ventilation to exhaust all fumes. 

Nozzle Assembly 

Maintenance

A. Replace the Burner Nozzle.

1.  If applicable, remove the plastic plug protecting the 

nozzle adapter threads.

2.  Place a 3/4” open-end wrench on the nozzle adapter. 

Insert the nozzle into the adapter and 

fi

 nger tighten. 

Finish tightening with a 5/8” open-end wrench.

Adequate Voltage Required 

A low or erratic power supply could result in impaired 

burner operation, severe delayed ignition or an 

explosion inside the heat exchanger resulting in a 

burn and/or asphyxiation hazard. 

 

y

The Model SDC requires a continuous supply of 11 
to 16 volts DC at 25 amps measured at the burner 
during operation.

 

y

An automotive or small engine charging system 
that is capable of supplying the required continuous 
voltage/amperage is recommended with certain road 
equipment, such as asphalt hot patchers and similar 
applications.

 

y

This is especially true while maintaining nominal load 
temperatures during idle periods. 

Adequate Combustion and 
Ventilation Air Supply  

                           Required

Failure to provide adequate air supply could seriously 

affect the burner performance and result in damage 

to the equipment, asphyxiation, explosion or 

fi

 re 

hazards.

 

y

The burner cannot properly burn the fuel if it is not 
supplied with a reliable combustion air source.

 

y

Follow the guidelines in the latest editions of the NFPA 
31 and CSA-B139 regarding providing adequate air 
for combustion and ventilation.

General Information

Your burner was designed, installed and adjusted at the 
factory prior to shipment and should not require additional 
adjustments. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this 
manual when experiencing a possible fault condition.
