Maintenance
Photo-cell (flame sensor) must be cleaned
every 30 days. If the photo-cell is dirty, burner
will start flame and after 4 sec. Control box will
show malfunction (red light will appear)
Be careful to turn the photo cell
to “see” the flame. (see picture)
Depending on the quality of the oil used, we recommend the following maintenance intervals:
Monthly:
• Clean the filter in the supply tank or the unit tank and strainer on the floating suction unit
• Check the oil level in the supply tank to be shore that enough fuel is available.
• Remove and clean the feed pump filter
• Remove sludge and residual water from the supply tank or unit tank
• The quantity can be determined by using water indication paste and a gauging rod
• Clean the photocell
• Clean the ignition electrodes and flame ring and blow out the nozzle with compressed air, check
the spacing between the ignition electrodes (refer to checking dimensions for ignition electrodes
page 14)
•The electrode porcelain insulators must be free from carbon, oil, dirt, cracks. Otherwise, short
circuiting could cause ignition problems.
• Check boiler, if it is dirty, clean it.
Annually (before or after the heating period):
• Carry out monthly maintenance as described
• Clean the heating cartridges in the burner tank
• Clean the ignition electrodes and baffle plate, blow out the nozzle with compressed air and check
the spacing between the ignition electrodes
• Clean the burner tank, supply tank and unit tank thoroughly.
• Clean the boiler and chimney.
