Diagram 4

Diagram 3 & 3a:

 

Verify spark electrode wire and the Receiver Antenna are separated and not crossed or in contact.  Receiver contains a self-re-
setting “fuse” that can be tripped when started with spark electrode and Receiver Antenna crossed.  Separate wires, wait 5 minutes 
for fuse to re-set and test again. 

Diagram 4: 

Upon a call for heat, a three second tone will be heard if the interrupter block, switch wire, and/or thermocouple are loose, dam-
aged, making poor contact or overtightened.  
If loose, tighten by hand, then ¼ turn by wrench only and test again.
