The burners covered in this Guide are designed to mix fuel with air and
burn the resulting mixture. All fuel burning devices are capable of pro-
ducing explosions and fires when improperly applied, installed, adjusted,
controlled, or maintained. This Guide will provide information for using
these burners for their limited design purpose. Do not deviate from any
instructions or application limits in this Guide without written advice from
the Eclipse Combustion, Inc. Read this entire Guide before attempting to
light burners. If you do not understand any part of the information in this
Guide, contact your local Eclipse representative or Eclipse Combustion,
Inc., before proceeding further.

Important Notices About Safe Burner Operation

Store the burner inside. Exposure to the elements can damage the burner.

Adjustment, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the mechanical parts of this
unit should be done by people with good mechanical aptitude and experience
with combustion equipment.

Order replacement parts from Eclipse Combustion, Inc., only.

 Any customer-

supplied valves or switches  should carry UL, FM , CSA, and/or CGA approval where
applicable.

The best safety precaution is an alert and competent operator. Thoroughly in-
struct new operators so they demonstrate an adequate understanding of the
equipment and its operation. Regular retraining must be scheduled to maintain a
high degree of proficiency. The operator must have easy access to this Informa-
tion Guide at all times.
