Burner Components

Bearings

The bearings support the combustion air blower’s shaft and 

allows the blower to turn smoothly.

Bearings Test:

1.  In order to perform the following procedure, it is necessary 

to detach and reattach the diesel burner head. Be sure to 

review the detaching and reattaching section for detaching 

and reattaching instructions starting on Page 47.

2.  Locate and disconnect the C-plug harness wires that 

connect to the flame sensor and fuel solenoid. Disconnect 

the ignition cables from th ignition electrodes.

3.  Remove the four nozzle stand plate screws that secure the 

nozzle stand plate in place. Remove the nozzle stand plate 

by pulling on the nozzle stand until the plate releases from 

the cast-aluminum blower casing.

4.  Remove the four ignition coil screws that secure the 

ignition coil to the protection cap. Lift the ignition coil and 

disconnect the black (+) and brown (-) wires from the C-plug 

harness wires, prior to removing. Remove the protection 

cap from the diesel burner, so that the motor and clutch 

halves are exposed.

5.  Remove the three hex-head screws that secure the motor 

and  motor  flange  to  the  blower  housing.  Remove  the 

motor  and  flange  assembly  along  with  the  clutch  halves. 

Disconnect the motor’s black (+) and brown (-) wires from 

the C-plug harness’ wires.

6.  Remove the four blower housing screws that secure the 

blower housing to the blower casing. Remove the blower 

housing so that the combustion air blower is exposed.

7.  Spin the combustion air blower by hand. Placing one of 

the clutch halves to the end of the shaft, assists with the 

spinning of the bearings.

8.  If the combustion air blower rotates smoothly, without 

any friction or noise, the bearings are in proper working 

condition. If the combustion air blower does not rotate 

smoothly and/or produces noise, the bearings are worn 

and must be replaced.

Bearings Replacement:

1.  In order to perform the following procedure, it is necessary 

to detach and reattach the diesel burner head. Be sure to 

review the detaching and reattaching section on Page 47.

2.  Locate and disconnect the C-plug harness wires that 

connect to the flame sensor and fuel solenoid. Disconnect 

the ignition cables from the ignition electrodes.

3.  Remove the four nozzle stand plate screws that secure the 

nozzle stand plate in place. Remove the nozzle stand plate 

by pulling on the nozzle stand until the plate releases from 

the cast-aluminum blower casing,
