BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION
A. BURNER INSTALLATION
1. The oil burner is supplied with a mounting flange
fixed in position.
2. Mount the burner to the burner mounting plate (Item
5 Figure 8.1) with four (4) 5/16" studs and nuts
provided.
3. Pipe the oil lines through the holes in the left side of
the jacket. Care must be taken when routing the oil
lines so not to interfere with the opening and closing
of the burner mounting plate. Flexible oil lines or
flared copper disconnects with valves (when copper
lines are used) may be installed to assure full opening
of the burner mounting plate when servicing.
4. Oil burner specifications:
For information pertinent to the oil burner such as
nozzle sizing, fuel supply piping, adjusting or
servicing, refer to the charts in this section and the
burner installation manual.
B. BURNER START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Burner should start automatically when thermostat is
turned up and main boiler service switch is turned on.
If burner does not start, check to be sure there is oil in
the tank and push reset button on burner control:
Beckett: Square red button.
Carlin: Round red button.
Riello: Round red button inside clear flexible
cover on back of burner cover.
If burner still does not start, contact serviceman.
2. Adjust burner and barometric draft control for
highest CO² (Maximum 13%) while maintaining a 0
Smoke and -.01 to -.02" W.C. draft overfire.
All adjustments must be made using suitable
instruments such as found in a Bacharach
Combustion Test Kit.
3. Burner and boiler can be shut down by turning
down the thermostat and moving the main boiler
service switch to the "off" position.
4. See burner manufacturer’s manual for further
information regarding the burner.
C. CHECK BOILER CONTROLS
1. Limit and Operating Controls:
a. Lower the set point of each control until the
burner shuts down. Note that the system pressure
(or temperature) corresponds to the desired set
point.
b. Return the controls to the desired set point.
2. Low Water Cut-off (Built in to limit control.) - consult
the manufacturer's instructions for the low water cut-
off operational check procedure.
3. Refer to Limit Control Man. Instrucitons for further
information.
4. BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION
This appliance is designed to burn only standard No.
1 or No. 2 Fuel Oil (ASTM D396). Do not use gasoline
or waste oil.
CAUTION
Do not use compression fitting for oil supply lines.
Do not use copper sweat fittings with oil piping. Oil
leaks may occur causing a fire hazard.
CAUTION
Oil piping must be air tight. Air leaking into the oil
supply system may cause erratic burner operation
and/or burner lockout.
NOTICE
Be sure high temperature gasket is between the
burner mounting flange and the burner mounting
plate.
NOTICE
Two-pipe oil supply for Riello burner requires a
separate kit. Order part #C7001026 from Riello dealer.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil
has accumulated, when the unit is full of vapor, or
when the combustion chamber is very hot.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to set up the burner without using
test instruments. Visual and auditory inspection can
not be trusted to assure proper operation. Failure to
check and adjust combustion using combustion test
instruments may result in severe personal injury,
death or major property damage.
