Diesel Burner - Electric Eye and Fuse Inspection
Diesel Burner - Electric Eye Inspection
The diesel burner is equipped with an electronic eye which detects the presence of a flame. If
the eye does not detect a flame after ignition, it will shut down the burner.
Periodically this eye will get covered with soot or dirt from the burner. If your burner lights and
then shuts down immediately, you can normally expect the problem to be a dirty electric eye.
To clean the eye, simply loosen the two retaining clip screws (A) and rotate the clips which
hold the hinged spark box (B) to the burner. Gently wipe the eye (C) with a soft cloth and
reattach the spark box.

After cleaning the eye, if the burner will not stay ignited after initial firing, check fuse located
inside the primary control box. You can open the box by loosening the two screws (D) and
removing the box.
