Warning
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 producing ex-
plosions and fires when improperly applied, in-
stalled, adjusted, controlled, or maintained. This
Guide will provide information for using these burn-
ers for their limited design purpose. Do not deviate
from any instructions or application limits in this
Guide without written advice from the Eclipse Com-
bustion Division in Rockford, Illinois. Read this en-
tire 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 before proceeding further.
