Section 10 - Burner Startup Procedure
Waste Oil Burner Start-Up
1.
Make sure the main electrical service for the heater is turned off, and locked out.
2.
Check for proper draft in the chimney. Confirm that there is no positive-draft pressure
(air coming DOWN the chimney, usually caused by roof-vent exhaust fans).
3.
Make sure there is air pressure at the heater’s air
filter/regulator, set at 20 PSI (idle pressure, 15 PSI
while heater is running). Set the primary regulator
on the air supply line to 30 PSI.
4.
Ensure that the fan/limit control switch is set to
automatic.
5.
Set the room thermostat below room temperature
(OFF).
6.
Turn the main electrical service ON.
7.
If using waste 5W-50W used oil, flip the pre-heater
rocker switch on, light ON, and wait 5-7 minutes
for the pre-heater assembly to reach operating
temperature. Leave the preheater switch OFF if
using No. 2 fuel oil.
8.
Set the air-baffle position according to your unit:
XT-150
≈ 1/4 open (burner air-intake grill 25% exposed)
XT-200/250
≈ 1/2 open (burner air-intake grill 50% exposed)
XT-300
≈ 3/4 open (burner air-intake grill 75% exposed)
These are preliminary positions for the air baffle and may be adjusted during a
later step.
9.
Turn the room thermostat up above the room temperature. The burner will now fire.
Check the sight glass on the rear of the burner. Also inspect the flame through the
inspection port. (See Section 11 - Flame Adjustment).
10.
Adjust the burner air filter/regulator to 15 PSI (running pressure), and the primary air
regulator to 30 PSI.
NOTE:
15 PSI on the air filter/regulator is the starting point, you may need to adjust
from there when
VISUALLY SETTING THE FLAME
(See Section 11, flame adjustment).
The combustion air baffle is NOT factory set! See Section 11 - Flame Adjustment
