Warning
Risk of injury due to improper repair!
Never try to make any modifications or repairs on the
device.
Unauthorised modifications can lead to serious injuries
or death.
Have a certified specialist workshop perform the repair
work.
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The device does not start:
•
Check the power connection.
•
Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.
•
Check the on-site fusing.
•
The safety thermostat might have tripped due to
overheating Switch the device off and let it cool down for
at least 10 minutes.
The device starts running, but switches off again after a
brief period:
•
The pump pressure might be incorrect. Check the pressure
at the pump and adjust it if necessary, see chapter
Adjusting the air pressure for the pump.
•
The air filter might be dirty. Clean the air filters, and
replace them if necessary, see chapter Cleaning air filters
and fan.
•
The fuel filter might be dirty. Clean the fuel filter and
replace it, if necessary, see “Cleaning” chapter, after
50 operating hours in each case.
The fan is running, but the device does not start:
•
There might be no fuel in the tank. Check the filling level of
the tank. Refill fuel if the tank is empty (see chapter Filling
the tank).
•
The pump pressure might be incorrect. Check the pressure
at the pump and adjust it if necessary, see chapter
Adjusting the air pressure for the pump.
The fan does not start, even though the device is connected
and switched on:
•
The thermostat setting might be too low. Turn up the
thermostat setting.
Unclean combustion:
•
The air filters might be dirty. Clean or replace the air filters,
see chapter Removing filters for cleaning or replacement.
•
The fuel might be of poor quality. Completely drain the
fuel, see chapter Draining the tank. Refill new fuel, see
chapter Filling the tank.
•
The pump pressure might be incorrect. Check the pressure
at the pump and adjust it if necessary, see chapter
Adjusting the air pressure for the pump.
Smoke and/or sparks are emitted during first use:
•
This is not a fault. These phenomena disappear after a
brief runtime.
Noise emission during ignition or cooling:
•
This is not a fault. The metal parts of the device expand
when heated and generate noise.
Sparks and/or flame may be issued from the device during
ignition:
•
This is not a fault. Air might have accumulated in the lines.
Keep a safety distance to the device!
The flame in the combustion chamber does not ignite:
•
Check the filling level of the tank. Refill fuel if the tank is
empty (see chapter Maintenance).
•
Check the fuel for contaminations, e.g. dirt or water. If
required, drain the fuel completely and fill in new fuel (see
chapter Maintenance).
•
Safety shutdown: if the flame dies during operation, the
electronics and the oil pump will be switched off.
Investigate the cause on the basis of the following criteria:
–
For qualified personnel only!
Check the ignition: The distance between the two
ignition electrodes should be 4 to 5 mm.
