Replacing the Spark Igniter of the
GasTrac
The spark igniter should be replaced at least once a year to assure trouble-free
operation. You should replace the igniter before the annual period, if you find:
• The spark gap is less than 0.125 in. {3.2 mm}. The gap should be between
0.07 and 0.09 in. {1.8 and 2.3 mm}.
• The igniter insulation is cracked
• The spark electrodes are warped or taper to a needle-like shape.
Do not operate the GasTrac with a worn or dam-
aged spark igniter. A badly burned or warped
igniter can cause burner ignition failure.
1
Stop the GasTrac.
Press the red
“STOP” button, then press the rocker
switch to “OFF.”
2
Disconnect and lock out the main power.
3
Remove the igniter wire.
Pull the wire boot, not
the wire, away from the spark igniter. If the wire or
its boot is cracked, it should be replaced.
4
Remove the spark igniter. Use an appropriately-sized spark plug socket
and ratchet to loosen the igniter. Pull the igniter straight out of the
GasTrac. Do not allow the spark igniter to touch
the burner surface.
TIP: Before removing the spark igniter for inspection, use a felt tip
marker to mark the position of the igniter in its threaded hole. By
indexing the position, you will able to return the igniter to the correct
position after inspection. The igniter must be installed so that the
ground rod is 180° away from the burner surface.
✒
IMPORTANT : When removing or inserting the spark
igniter, do not allow the igniter electrode or ground-
ing rod to touch the burner. You could damage the
burner surface.
Replacement igniters
are available from
