Flame Pack Series 400 Operation and Service Manual
16.0: Cleaning the Filters and Intake System
Cleaning the Sintered Bronze Filters:
1. Fill sink or clean non-glass container with very warm water and soap solution.
2. Wash filters by vigorously shaking them.
3. Rinse twice vigorously shaking them in clean water.
4. Allow to dry overnight.
NOTE: The bronze filters are designed to filter our microns of dust. The dust that is found in the
primary filter housing will contain fine dust and should be cleaned thoroughly. With proper
maintenance and cleaning, these filters can be use indefinitely.
Cleaning the Intake System:
The intake system of the Flame Pack 400 will occasionally require cleaning. A good schedule is
about every 2 months depending on the amount of dirt in the Flame Pack is exposed to, how
often filters are changed, and other environmental factors. Additional cleaning may be needed
when there is an increase in difficulty in lighting, a decreased sound of fuel flow, or an increase
in response time.
1. BE SURE POWER SWITCH IS OFF.
2. Remove QC body from elbow. Plug the QC stem into the QC body. If necessary, unscrew
the top of the filter housing and use that QC stem from the probe. Blow clean, compressed
air through QC body and out of the QC stem to remove as much dust and dirt as possible.
Flush QC with cleaner (SCC P/N 452.010K) for approximately 10 to 15 seconds. Shake out
and blow clean, compressed air through to remove as much cleaner as possible. Leave QC
stem in place for 10 minutes.
3. Open valve to allow fuel to flow. Blow out system with oil-free compressed air (low
pressure). You can use SCC P/N 450.050.
4. Place wand of cleaner (SCC P/N 452.010K) through elbow into the hole in the pump
intake, up against the pump screen. Flush Flame Pack until cleaner drips from exhaust
arrestor, approximately 15 seconds. The cleaner will work its way through the system
with the fuel. Blow out the system with the compressed air again to help remove the
cleaner.
5. Allow fuel to flow for 1 hour to remove the cleaner from the fuel system.
6. Hook up the probe, light Flame Pack, and burn for 1 hour. If the meter pegs at full scale,
all the cleaner may not be out of the system.
7. Go through pre-start check and calibration test before using the Flame Pack for surveying
(see Sections 10 and 11).
