PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
Burners won’t start.
No fuel.
Fill the fuel tank.
No power.
Plug machine in and turn on.
Breaker tripped. Reset breaker.
Low glycol.
Fill glycol reservoir.
Switch off.
Pull out Emergency Stop switch.
NOTE: For the burners to be able to fire, three conditions must be met.
1) The Pressure switch on the circulation loop must see pressure. (gray plastic box on circ pump)
2) The low glycol sensor must sense glycol. (blue box on glycol tank)
3) The aquastat temperature has to allow the call for heat, by being below 230°F. This condition
would be very rare, and should only trip off if there is not enough flow through the coil or the burner is burning
too hot. (gray box on coil discharge beside exhaust)
Buners give off black smoke. Wrong fuel/air mixture.
Reset air mixture.
Fouled burner.
Clean burners.
Plugged fuel filter(s).
Change filter(s).
Reel won't move.
