All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. 

F.  BURNER INSTALLATION: 
 
NOTE: The burner is factory installed on this furnace. 
NOTICE:
  Remove all cardboard packing from around chamber before installing burner. 
The oil burner will mount on three stud mounting bolts on the lower mounting plate covering the opening in the front 
of the heat exchanger. The end of the burner tube should be inserted no further than 1/4 inch back from the inside 
surface of the combustion chamber. A distance further than 1/4 inch back from the inside chamber wall may cause 
impingement  and  sooting.  This  unit  is  equipped  with  a  chamber  retainer  (refer  to  Fig.4).  This  retainer  secures  the 
chamber  during  shipping  and  helps  to  maintain  insertion  depth.  DO  NOT  remove  this  retainer  when  installing 
burner.

When mounting the burner, the mounting plate (Fig. 4) must be removed to provide access to the area in front of the 
combustion chamber. A fiber insulating sleeve or amulet is provided on the burner tube of specific burners.(see Fig. 
5). See burner application chart for type of insulator.  Do not allow the burner tube or end cone to physically touch 
or protrude into the chamber, as excess heat transfer could result in destruction of the tube, end cone or both. The 
burner tube/end cone is properly positioned, when the end is ¼ inch back from the inside surface of the combustion 
chamber wall.
