Corrective Action
4.
Frequent pilot
outage problem.

too low, or blowing (high),
causing pilot safety to drop out.
Clean and adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on
thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.

Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris. Ensure
that the vent system joints are tight and have no leaks.
