With the gun still outside the burner casing, re-connect the
ignition cable to the igniter.
•
Ensure the gas gun is WELL GROUNDED to the burner
housing when testing for spark.
•
Reset the burner control and check for spark after the pre-
purge.

Keep a close eye on the electrode as the spark will only
appear for 1 second AFTER the 60 second pre-purge.
