WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, make sure that power to the furnace is turned OFF
before connecting any wires. A licensed electrician should install all wiring to your furnace. All wiring
must be in accordance with the National Uniform Electrical Code and local codes. Properly size all wires and use
electrical conduit for all electrical lines.
Wiring your furnace involves the installation of two lines:
(1) A dedicated electrical line to the furnace
(2) A pump electrical circuit from the furnace to the metering pump
Necessary wiring specications are provided in this section and in the Wiring Schematics located in
Appendix B at the back of the manual.
Wiring to the Furnace
1. Install a dedicated electrical circuit to the BURNERjunction box on the CB-1750 / 2500 and to the
BLOWER junction box on the CB-3250.
Refer to NFPA-70 for wire size and distances.
2. Wire the furnace according to the Wiring Schematic in Appendix B. Ensure that the ground
*NOTE: When installing any optional equipment (e.g. air compressor or draft inducer), please
refer to the "w/Options" breaker size above. Make sure a qualied electrician properly sizes and
installs this electrical circuit. Refer to NFPA-70 for wire size and distances.
4. DO NOT turn on main power until instructed to do so.
Wiring to the Metering Pump
WARNING: DO NOT wire the pump directly into your building's electrical system. The pump
must be activated (receive power) from the burner via the pump electrical circuit. DO NOT wire
the pump directly to a wall outlet so that it runs continuously; this will seriously damage your metering
pump and/or furnace and may result in a re or explosion hazard.
1. Install the pump electrical circuit from the furnace to the metering pump location.
2. Wire the pump circuit according to the Metering Pump Wiring Schematic in Appendix B at the
ATTENTION: It is critical that you adhere to the following specications for suction oil line
installation (oillinefromthetanktothepump). If these specications are not met, the metering pump
will not function correctly and the burner will shut down on reset. The majority of service problems
with the metering pump are caused by leaks at ttings in the suction oil line; these problems are
eliminated by ensuring a 100% airtight suction oil line which slants up to the pump.
All suction oil line components must be installed as shown in Figures 4H and 4J. Suction line size is
1/2" diameter. Proper installation allows the suction oil line to be lled with used oil during initial
priming.
The suction oil line may NOT exceed 6 feet TOTAL vertical lift and 4 feet total horizontal lift
(which equals 6.0” hg maximum operating vacuum). To determine if your suction oil line will meet this
specication for maximum operating vacuum, base the calculation for your installation on the following
NOTE: ALSO ADD 0.75" hg to the nal sum to account for every oil lter, shut-off valve, and check
valve on the suction side of the pump assembly.
Sample calculation: (6) vertical feet x 0.75" = 4.50" hg AND (4) horizontal feet = 0.75" hg
4.50" hg + 0.75" hg + 0.75" hg = 6.00 " hg vacuum
The metering pump must be installed with a 3/4" check valve at the end of the suction oil line, or the
pump will not maintain its prime.
Use Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer on every threaded tting. DO NOT use teon tape or
teon pipe dope compounds; the teon can ake off and cause damage to the pump head.
The suction oil line must be 100% airtight for proper system functioning. Use only high-quality
are ttings for the copper tubing. DO NOT use compression ttings.
DO NOT use any steel pipe unions. DO NOT use sweat copper pipe. These types of ttings cause air
leaks in the suction oil line and will require re-installation.
The suction oil line must slant up to the pump; any high spots will trap air and will not allow the
pump to prime.
1. Assemble the suction oil line ttings (fromthemeteringpumptothecanisterlter):a. Refer to Figure 4H for a detailed look at the metering pump components and ttings.
b. Remove the plug from the 1/4" inlet port of the pump.
c. Install the 1/4" x 3" brass nipple into the 1/4" inlet port on the pump.
d. Install the 1/4" brass street elbow onto the 3" brass nipple; turn the tting onto the nipple

q. Pull the 1/2" copper tubing back up through the slip tting until you see the mark that you put
on the tubing earlier. Holding the tubing with one hand, push the ferrel sleeve connector and
locking nut down the tubing, then tighten onto the 1/2" slip tting. The oil line is now installed
in the correct position off of the bottom of the tank.
r. Carefully bend the oil line up to the canister lter; use a spring bender over the oil line while
bending the tubing to prevent kinks in the oil line. Allowing for the are nut, cut off the excess
tubing.
s. Install the 1/2" are nut onto the tubing, and are the end of the tubing.
t. Install the end of the tubing with the are nut onto the 1/2" are adapter (on the ball valve
assembly at the canister lter).
u. Install a vent from the tank to the outside of the building according to code. The tank must be
properly vented to allow air to enter the tank as oil is pumped out and to safely vent fumes to the
outside. See Figure 4J.
v. Install plugs in all other tank openings as required by code.
w. Inspect the installation. For proper suction oil line operation, make sure all components are
installed and positioned as specied in this manual.
ATTENTION: It is critical that you adhere to the following specications for pressure oil line
installation (oil line from the pump to the furnace); if these specications are not met, the metering
pump will not function correctly and the burner will shut down on reset.
• The parameters for pressure oil line installation are:
Length of Pressure Line Line Size
Up to 100 feet 3/8" O.D. copper tubing
(Please note that some installations will allow for a greater pressure line length. Contact
your Authorized Clean Burn Distributor for more information.)
• The pressure oil line must slant up to the burner with no loops or high points to trap air.
• Local codes may require the installation of an in-line "Fire-O-Matic" safety valve. Be sure to check all appropriate codes to ensure compliance.
1. Refer to Figures 4H, 4J, and 4K.
2. Make sure you have purchased all the necessary ttings to complete the installation correctly.
3. Install the ttings and components as shown in the related illustrations. Be sure to use Permatex
#2 non-hardening gasket sealer to seal every threaded tting. DO NOT use teon tape or teon
pipe dope compounds.
Installing the Compressed Air Line
NOTE: Your air compressor system must supply air pressure to the furnace with the following
minimum requirements: 50 psi and water trap or dryer. If you do not have shop air, an optional air
compressor is available. Contact your local Clean Burn dealer for more information.
1. Run a compressed air line from your shop air to the connector block on the furnace. Use
minimum 1/4" O.D. copper tubing or equivalent for the compressed air line.
2. Install an easily accessible shut-off valve in the air line so the burner can be serviced without
shutting off the shop air in your service area.
3. If necessary, install a pressure regulator (additional to the burner air regulator) in the air line, and
set it at 50 psi.
ATTENTION: DO NOT feed full shop air pressure to the burner or damage to burner
components may occur.
4. Install a water trap or extractor/dryer in the air line with an automatic drain so compressed air
(rather than water) is supplied to the burner.
ATTENTION: Water must not be fed to the burner, or the ame will be extinguished and the burner will shut down. Be sure to drain water from your compressor tank on a regular basis to
keep water out of the air line.
WARNING: Inappropriate stack materials or improper stack design/installation can adversely
affect the proper, safe operation of your furnace. Contact your Clean Burn dealer to purchase the
proper stack components for your furnace.
Stack designs are generally classied as follows:
(1) "Class A" stack through the ceiling of the building (refer to Figure 4L)

ATTENTION: Thestackdesignmustbesingle and dedicated for each unit (furnace) according to
thefollowingspecications. A single stack serving more than one unit MUST be engineered/certied
for that specic installation (ref. NFPA 211, 3.3.39 and 10.2.1; NFPA 31 6.5.16-18). Failure to adhere to
this rule may result in less than optimal system performance.
Figures 4L and 4M illustrate recommended stack designs. Choose the stack design which is appropriate
for your furnace installation and review all specications provided in the corresponding drawing. When
designing your stack, adhere to the following specications:
• Ensure that the vertical stack height is atleast10feetPLUSonefootforeverytting (e.g.
45 degree, 90 degree, or T) in the stack run. If needed, increase the vertical length of the
stack or install a draft inducer to obtain -.02" W.C. draft over re. (Section 8 contains details
on adjusting the draft.)
• Keep the horizontal stack run as short as possible; slant it upward at a minimum of 1/4" per foot of run.
• Keep the stack design simple. Complicated stacks (with long runs and many turns) reduce draft and result in poor burner performance. Your stack may include only one 90 degree
turn. All other stack turns must be at 45 degrees or less to ensure optimal draft and burner
performance.
NOTE: If you plan to use an existing masonry chimney, the chimney must be lined and inside the
building. Exterior masonry chimneys chill the stack gases and result in poor draft and poor burner
performance.
ATTENTION: If you have an exhaust fan(s) in your shop, itiscriticalthatyouhaveadequate
makeupair(sourceoffreshairtoreplacethestaleairexhaustedbythefan). When an exhaust fan is
run without adequate make up air, the resultant vacuum in the building will draw combustion products
back into the burner. This back draft causes poor burner performance and may damage vital burner
components. Refer to Section 8 in this manual for additional information.
Stack components should be installed in the following order:
(1) Inside stack (the stack components from the furnace breach to within 18" of the ceiling, roof,
or sidewall of your building)
(2) Barometric damper
(3) "Class A" stack penetration through the ceiling, roof, or sidewall
(4) "Class A" stack on the exterior of the building
(5) "Class A" stack cap
WARNING: Single wall stack components may be used only for those portions of the stack which are located inside your building and away from any re/burn hazards.
1. Install the single wall stack with proper clearances from combustibles. Also ensure that the stack
is located a safe distance from all shop personnel.
2. Install an elbow at the junction of the horizontal and vertical stack components to allow for easy
cleaning of the stack.
ATTENTION: Avoid additional 90-degree turns in the stack. Each additional 90-degree turn
slows down stack gases, creates back-pressure, and results in repeated burner shutdown and
unnecessary service calls. All other turns in the stack should be at a 45-degree (or smaller) angle.
NOTE: IMPORTANTforCanadianInstallations - Local codes may require the installation of a clean-out tee.
Installing the Barometric Damper
1. Refer to Figure 4L. Install a single wall tee (min. 24 gauge) after the 90 degree elbow in the
straight vertical stack section within three to ve feet of the furnace breach. For horizontal stack
runs (as shown in Figure 4M), install the tee after the rst straight section of pipe.
NOTE: The tee is required to support the barometric damper. You must purchase this tee when
you purchase your stack materials (8" single wall tee - CB#70174).
2. Refer to Figure 4N. Install the barometric damper in the opening of the tee. Use a small spirit
level to make sure that it is properly level.
3. Install two self-tapping screws as shown in Figure 4N (i.e. one on each side of the barometric
damper) to hold the damper in place. DO NOT install a screw at the bottom of the barometric
damper, or the apper of the damper will not operate correctly.
NOTE: Specications for adjusting the barometric damper for proper draft overre are provided in
Section 8 of this manual.

Installing the Stack Safety Switch For Canadian Installations
NOTE: CSA Standards require that all heating equipment must be installed with a stack safety switch.
If your heating equipment is being installed in Canada, follow the instructions listed below.
CAUTION: For your safety and the safe operation of your heating equipment, the stack switch
must be installed by a qualied installer in accordance with the installation instructions provided
here. Wiring must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable codes. Failure to adhere to these
safety recommendations may result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.
1. Follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Section 4 to install a proper stack, includingthe barometric damper which must be installed within 40 inches of the breach.
NOTE: The barometric damper must be installed so that it is level and the apper moves freely.
2. Ensure that main power to the heating equipment is turned OFF.
3. Position the stack safety switch over the lip of the barometric damper as shown in Figure 4O.
4. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole for the mounting screw, and mount the stack safety switch using the
mounting screw supplied with the switch.
NOTE: The mounting screw must not interfere with the free movement of the apper on thebarometric damper.
5. Install the wall thermostat according to the instructions provided in the Operator’s Manual,
Section 4. Wire the wall thermostat and stack safety switch in series as shown in Figure 4P.
Install the wire so that it is secured away from any hot surfaces.
6. When the heating equipment installation is completed, follow the instructions in the Operator’s
Manual, Sections 5 and 6 to prime the pump and start/adjust the burner.
7. Follow instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Section 8 to check the draft; this is crucial for the proper, safe operation of the heating equipment.
Figure 4O - Stack Safety Switch Installed on the Barometric Damper
WARNING: BURN HAZARD! To prevent serious personal injury, be sure to allow ample
time, at least 30 minutes, for the stack, barometric damper, and switch to cool down before
attempting to access and service these components. It is crucial to identify the cause of the stack
obstruction (e.g. heavy snowfall) and correct it before resetting the stack safety switch and re-starting
the burner. DO NOT operate the heating equipment with an obstructed stack; failure to correct an
obstructed stack may result in re, explosion, and/or burn hazards causing serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE: In locations where heavy snowfall occurs, it is critical that the stack remain unobstructed by
snow. For safe heating equipment operation, be sure to keep the area surrounding the stack clear of
snow.
1. Before resetting the stack safety switch, check the stack to make sure it is clear of any obstructions.
2. Remove the cover from the stack safety switch, and push the small button in the middle of the switch.
3. Pushing the stack safety switch reset button will re-establish the thermostat circuit, and the burner will
start (assuming the wall thermostat is calling for heat).
Understanding the Function of the Stack Safety Switch
The Stack Safety Switch monitors the temperature at the barometric damper on the stack and is designed to
detect the obstruction of the free ow of stack gases from the heating equipment and shut down the burner.
Obstruction of the stack results in the “spillage” of stack gases from the barometric damper, which heats up the
switch. The switch then opens, disconnecting the thermostat circuit to the burner, and the burner shuts off.
Stack Safety Switch Specications
Switching Voltage 24 volts
Switch OPEN Temperature 180 degrees F
Switch Type L180, normally closed, manual reset
WARNING: When running the stack through your ceiling, roof, or sidewall, you must use
Class A/UL 103 HT double-wall insulated all-fuel stack components with a stainless steel
liner. DO NOT run single-wall stack through your ceiling, roof or sidewall. NEVER locate a stack joint
inside walls or in a joist spacer. Ensure proper clearances from combustibles per all applicable codes.
1. Refer to Figure 4L/4M as needed.
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the stack manufacturer.
Installing the Exterior Stack
ATTENTION: All exterior stack pieces must be Class A/UL103 HT double-wall insulated all-fuel stack
components with a stainless steel liner.
• DO NOT use Class B or BW Vent/double-wall stack components (for gas red appliances only).
• DO NOT use Type L Vent/double-wall stack components (for approved fuel oil appliances only).
• DO NOT use black stack pipe (for solid fuel burning appliances only).
• DO NOT use single-wall stack for your exterior stack. Single-wall exterior stack chills the stack
gases and results in poor draft and poor burner performance.
1. Refer to Figure 4L/4M as needed.
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the stack manufacturer.
3. Install water-tight roof ashing around the penetration of the exterior stack.
NOTE: Clean Burn recommends the use of "Dektite" roof ashing (or equivalent) which ensures a water-tight seal when installed properly. Contact your local Clean Burn dealer for details.
Installing the Stack Cap
NOTE: Proper installation of a "Class A" stack cap ensures the free ow of stack gases which is
essential for optimal burner performance.
1. Refer to Figure 4L/4M as needed. Your stack cap should be classied as: "Class A" non-restrictive,
all-fuel type.
2. Install the stack cap according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Installing the Optional Draft Inducer
ATTENTION: The draft inducer, Field brand model DI-2, is optional equipment and may be installed
to ensure proper draft. The Field brand draft inducer has been tested for use on Clean Burn furnaces.
DO NOT use other models or brands of draft inducers.
Understanding the Importance of the Draft Inducer
The draft inducer is designed to aid in the removal of the natural draft created by the appliance to vent
the combustion gases to the outside of the building. As the paddle wheel turns, a negative pressure is
maintained within the stack so that the combustion gases can leave the furnace and travel out of the
stack. (See Figure 4Q.) Propersizing,installation,andadjustmentofthedraftinducerarecriticalfor
1. Refer to Figure 4Q. Follow the instructions included with the draft inducer to mount the draft
inducer on the section of single-wall vertical stack.
2. Position the draft plate all the way out so that it does not reduce the draft produced by the draft
inducer. Follow instructions in Section 8 (Adjusting the Draft Overre) to set the proper draft.
Wiring the Draft Inducer for Normal Operation*
*(No exhaust fans in the building. Read pages 8-3 to 8-6 if exhaust fans are present.)
1. Wire the draft inducer according to the Furnace Wiring Diagram provided in Appendix B at the
back of this manual.
Installing the Wall Thermostat
1. Select a location for the thermostat on an interior wall away from any hot or cold drafts.
2. Remove the top cover from the thermostat by pushing gently on the latch at the top center of the
body. (Hold the thermostat base in one hand, and grasp the body with the other hand; push in on thelatch with your thumb, and pull the cover away from the base.)
ATTENTION: DO NOT use a screwdriver to pry the cover off the base, or damage may occur.
3. Remove the green paper insert and the black plastic battery isolator from the battery section of the
thermostat.
4. Refer to the Burner Wiring Diagram in Appendix B at the back of this manual. Run two wire,
18-gauge (minimum) thermostat cable from the terminals on the back of the thermostat base to the T/T
terminals of the primary control on the burner.
ATTENTION: NEVER jump between T/T terminals on the primary control without removing one of the wires. Failure to remove one of the wires will burn out the heat anticipator on the
thermostat and will cause the thermostat to fail.
5. Mount the thermostat base 60" to 66" from the oor using the hardware provided.
6. Reassemble the thermostat body onto the base. (Align the hinges at the bottom of the cover with the slotsat the bottom of the base, and swing the cover up into place.)
Replacing the Wall Thermostat Batteries
1. Proper battery level is indicated by the room temperature being displayed on the LCD screen.
2. When the battery level becomes low, a battery icon along with the word "REPLACE" will be displayed in
the lower left corner of the LCD screen. Replace the batteries to ensure proper operation, following the
previous instructions on the thermostat disassembly procedure.
3. If the batteries are not replaced, the display will slowly become dim and not display any information.
The thermostat will eventually not function. If this happens, replace the batteries immediately.
Inspecting the Furnace Installation
Following completion of all installation activities described in this chapter, the furnace should be
inspected by qualied personnel before ring. This ensures that your installation meets all applicable national and
local codes and allows for any deciencies to be corrected before furnace startup. Improper installation may void
Preparing your Clean Burn furnace for operation begins with priming the metering pump. The
procedures in this section must be performed in sequence without interruption to properly prime the
pump.
Required Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required for oil pump priming and should be gathered before
starting any procedures:
ATTENTION: The priming process must be done precisely as described in this procedure to ensure that all
air is thoroughly bled from the system. Failure to bleed all air from the system will result in
repeated burner shutdowns on reset.
1. Refer to Figure 5A.
2. Remove the 1/4" NPT plug from the side of the pump head, and set it aside.
3. Remove the 1/2" brass cap from the 1/2" brass nipple. Place a funnel in the opening. Slowly
pour used oil into the funnel until oil comes out of the side of the pump head; this will ll the
oil line, canister lter, and pump head with oil.
ATTENTION: NEVER run the pump head dry (i.e. without oil in the pump head); doing so will severely damage the pump.
4. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to the threads of the plug (removed from the
pump head). Re-install the plug and tighten.
5. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to the threads of the 1/2" brass nipple. Re-install
the 1/2" brass cap on the brass nipple and tighten.
6. Open the bleeder valve on the pump two to three (2-3) full turns, and position a container to catch oil
which will ow from the bleeder during pump priming.
7. Close the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump head.
ATTENTION: Verify that the relief oil line is installed back to the tank before closing the mini ball
valve. Closing the mini ball valve will cause the internal pump relief valve to open.
8. Activating the Pump
NOTE: The CB-1750/2500/3250 furnaces feature a priming switch which is mounted on the
right-hand side of the electrical junction box on the front of the furnace cabinet. The priming switch has
two positions:
• PRIME (switch is in the UP position): This is used only for pump priming. When the switch is in the UP position, the pump circuit is activated for priming. The pump will continue to run as long
as the switch is in this position. The oil primary control circuit is de-activated so the burner cannot
run while the switch is in the UP position.
• BURNER (switch is in the DOWN position): This is used for normal burner operation. When the switch is in the DOWN position, the burner controls the operation of the pump.
The pump will only run while the burner is running.
a. Refer to Figure 5B to locate the priming switch.
b. Turn the priming switch to the prime (UP) position. The pump should immediately start running.
9. Run the pump until a solid stream of oil ows from the pump bleeder. This will bleed all air out
of the suction line, oil lter and pump head.
ATTENTION: For the metering pump to operate correctly, it is very important that the system
is entirely full of oil and all air is bled out. The burner will shut down if there is any air in the
system.
10. Open the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump head to allow the pressure oil line to be lled.
11. Close and tighten the bleeder on the pump.
12. Turn the priming switch to the burner (DOWN) position so that the pump stops running.
13. Disconnect the pressure oil line from the burner and position a container to catch oil which will ow
from the pressure oil line during pump priming.
14. Turn the priming switch to the prime (UP) position. The pump should start running immediately .
15. Run the oil pump until the proper ow of oil has been established, and the oil line has been completely
ushed out.
16. Turn the priming switch to the burner (DOWN) position so that the pump stops running.
17. Re-connect the oil line to the burner.
Vacuum Testing the Oil Pump
Vacuum testing the oil pump is a very accurate way to determine the following:
• The condition of the pump -- the ability of the pump to pull a vacuum and suck oil from the tank.
• The condition of the ttings, gaskets and seals from the ball valve to the pump -- these
components must all be airtight to avoid suction leaks.
The following procedure provides instructions for vacuum testing the pump and canister lter on
systems equipped with a ball valve.
ATTENTION: For the pump to pull and hold vacuum, it is critical that all ttings are airtight. If any of these
ttings are loose, the pump may not pull a vacuum or may lose the vacuum rapidly. It is also critical that all
ttings in the suction line, including ttings on the canister lter, are 100% airtight.
1. Follow the instructions to prime the pump (previous procedure).
NOTE: The pump will not pull a vacuum if the pump is dry. There must be oil in the gears of
the pump before the pump can pull a vacuum.
2. With the pump running, open the bleeder two to three full turns, and make sure that oil is owing
from the bleeder. DO NOT close the bleeder yet.
3. Refer to Figure 5A. Close the ball valve at the inlet to the canister lter. Observe the vacuum gauge.
NOTE: The ball valve must have a stainless steel ball and should be pressure tested by the
manufacturer to ensure that it does not leak. If the ball valve leaks, the vacuum test will not be
accurate.
4. The vacuum should increase within 30 seconds to 15 inches of vacuum. When the vacuum gauge reads
15 inches of vacuum, rst close and tighten the bleeder, then turn the pump off and close the mini ball
valve at the outlet port of the pump. Observe the vacuum gauge.
NOTE: If the pump will not pull at least 15 inches of vacuum, there is a very serious suction leak, or the pump is damaged.Vacuum Testing the Oil Pump (continued)
5. If there are no suction leaks, the system will hold vacuum.
NOTE: It is acceptable for the vacuum to drop one to ve inches within one minute as the seal
in the pump seats. The vacuum should then hold steady for 15 minutes.
ATTENTION: If the vacuum dropsmorethanonetoveincheswithintherstminute, there is one or more
leaks somewhere between the pump and the ball valve. Do the following:
• Wipe your nger along the cylinder at the shaft of the pump. If there is oil here, the pump
seal is damaged. Replace the pump.
• Disassemble and clean all the ttings from the pump to the ball valve. Properly seal all
ttings with Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer or equivalent. Check the condition of
the o-ring on the canister lter and tighten the four canister lter bolts in a crisscross pattern.
• Repeat the procedure to vacuum test the system to ensure that the system is air tight.
6. Follow the instructions to prime the metering pump after a vacuum test has been performed.
Starting and adjusting the burner involves a series of separate procedures which must be accomplished
in sequence without interruption. Review all the procedures before attempting burner startup and
adjustment, paying careful attention to safety information statements.
Preparing the Burner for Startup
1. Turn the switch on the wall thermostat OFF.
NOTE: If your thermostat does not have an OFF setting, disconnect one thermostat wire so
the burner will not run.
2. Turn the main power to the furnace ON.
3. Wait at least 15 minutes until the preheater block is thoroughly warmed up. (Feel the back of the
burner box to make sure the preheater is sufciently warm. The proving switch on the preheater
block will not allow the
burner to start until the block
is hot.)
NOTE: The preheater block
will remain warm as long as
power is supplied to the
burner. If the main power
supply is ever turned OFF,
you must wait at least 15
minutes until the preheater
block is thoroughly warm
before starting the burner.
4. Refer to Figure 6A to locate
the air regulator.
Loosen the locking nut on
the air regulator.
5. Turn the adjustment knob
on the air regulator
counterclockwise until 1/2"
of the threads on the knob
are exposed. DO NOT back
the knob all the way out.

described.
6. Initial Adjustment of the Combustion Air Band:
WARNING: The combustion air band must be properly adjusted to ensure that the burner ignites and burns correctly. DO NOT attempt to start the burner with the combustion air band wide open
or completely closed. The burner may not ignite correctly. Failure to heed this warning may result in a
re or explosion hazard.
• Refer to Figure 6A to locate the combustion air band.
• Rotate the combustion air band to adjust it to the appropriate initial slot opening as listed
in the following Initial Adjustment Charts. Use a ruler to accurately set the slot opening at
the widest section of the slot. This initial setting of the combustion air band will allow you to
start the burner. You will ne tune the combustion air band further as described later in these
instructions.

1. Adjust the thermostat setting above room temperature to start the burner.
2. Adjusting the Air Regulator:
As soon as the burner starts running, turn the knob on the air regulator clockwise to achieve
proper operating air pressure. Refer to the Initial Adjustment Charts.
NOTE: If the safety reset on the primary control is activated and the burner stops running, see
Section 7 for further instructions on restarting your burner.
3. Observing the Flame Length:Visually inspect the ame length through the
observation port. Refer to Figure 6B for an illustration
of the desired ame length. The ame should extend
no more than one-half of the way down the combustion
chamber.
WARNING: The observation port gets hot as the
burner res. To avoid personal injury, always wear
heavy work gloves and safety glasses when opening the
port and viewing the ame.
WHEN OPENING INSPECTION PORT
CAUTION

PROTECT HANDS
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
KEEP FACE AWAY
OPEN PORT SLOWLY
Correct Maximum Flame Adjustment
(Proper Oil and Air Pressure):
• Flame goes half of the way down the
combustion chamber.
• Flame does not touch back or walls of
combustion chamber.
6. Fine Tuning the Combustion Air Band:
NOTE: The initial setting of the combustion air band may require additional adjustment.
• Refer to Figure 6A to identify the combustion air band location on the burner.
• Observe the ame. The ame should be yellow-white with sharp tips and no "sparkles."
• If the ame is orange in color or the ame length is too long, the oil you are burning
requires MORE combustion air. OPEN the air band 1/8" to 1/4", and
recheck the ame for the proper characteristics.
• Recheck the ame after ve minutes. You should see a yellow-white ame with sharp
tips and no "sparkles", and the ame should extend half the way down the combustion
chamber.
7. Checking for a Smokeless Burn:
Check for a smokeless burn by observing the stack while the burner is running. If you see any
smoke, repeat the previous steps for setting the combustion air band and adjusting the air
regulator. After adjusting the combustion air band, re-check the ame length.
NOTE: Check for a smokeless burn periodically (as you do the ame length). Immediately readjust the burner if you ever see smoke coming from the stack. Smoke indicates improper air/
fuel adjustment.
NOTE: When using instruments to adjust the burner for a smokeless burn, the following readings should be achieved:
• Draft over re should be -.02 inch w.c.
• Adjust for a smoke spot of a trace to 2
• Adjust for a CO2 reading of 8 to 10% or an O2 reading of 7 to 9%
• Cad cell reading below 500 ohms
Checking the Operation of the Blower Motor
NOTE: It is important to verify that the blower motor operates correctly to ensure that the fan limit
control is properly cycling the blower motor as described below. Also refer to Appendix A at the back of
the manual for additional pertinent information.
1. Start the burner and adjust it as described previously in this section.
2. The blower motor will not start until the burner has been running for 5 to 15 minutes to heat up
the combustion chamber and heat exchanger. At this point, the fan fan switch will activate the
blower motor.
3. Once the blower motor has activated, turn the burner off by turning the wall thermostat to OFF.
4. With the burner off, the blower motor should continue to run for 5 to 10 minutes until the
combustion chamber is cooled down. The fan switch will then shut off the motor.
WARNING: If the blower motor does not operate as described, immediately shut down
your furnace to avoid potential equipment damage and/or re hazard. Contact your local Clean
When troubleshooting furnace/burner shutdown situations, Clean Burn recommends the following
sequence of actions:
• Follow the procedure for Resetting the Oil Primary Control provided in this section.
• Review the material on the following page about the safety switches to determine if the
furnace is shut down on high limit.
• If the burner still will not restart, contact your Clean Burn Distributor for immediate service.
The Oil Primary Control
The oil primary control will go into safety lockout
and shut the burner off when it detects ame-out
during burner operation. The following procedure
explains what should be done when this occurs.
It is very important that you follow these
instructions precisely when resetting the safety
on the primary control and restarting the burner.
Resetting the Oil Primary Control
DANGER! DO NOT push the reset
button more than once! DO NOT push
the reset button if oil mist is present in the
combustion chamber or when the combustion
C77008
chamber is hot! DO NOT operate your furnace if
excess oil, oil vapor or fumes have accumulated in
or near your furnace. As with any oil burning
furnace, improper operation may result in a
re or explosion hazard.
1. Refer to Figure 7A.
2. Check the combustion chamber for fuel mist by
shining a ashlight through the observation port. If
you see fog (fuel mist) in the chamber, DO NOT
push the reset button.
3. If the combustion chamber is hot, allow the furnace
to cool for at least 30 minutes. DO NOT push the
reset button.
4. When you are sure all mist has been cleared from
the chamber and the combustion chamber is cool,
depress the red button on the primary control for
2 seconds, then release. Reset the control ONCE
ONLY.
5. If the burner will not restart, call your Clean Burn
dealer immediately.

The CB-1750/2500/3250 furnaces feature an F-180 blower/fan switch (normally open) which is surface
mounted at the front of the combustion chamber (see Figure 7B). The blower/fan switch senses the
temperature of the combustion chamber as the burner is ring. When the combustion chamber reaches
the proper temperature, the blower/fan switch closes and sends power to the blower motor (CB-1750)
or relay (CB-2500/3250) to turn ON the blower motor. When the wall thermostat is satised and the
burner shuts off, the blower continues to run until the switch senses that the combustion chamber has
cooled down. The switch then opens and shuts off the blower motor.
The Hi-Temp Limit Switches
These furnaces also feature two high temperature limit switches which are mounted on a bracket at the front of
the combustion chamber as shown in Figure 7B. The switches sense the build-up of heat within the combustion
chamber and are designed to protect the furnace from damage due to overheating. The limit switches are wired in
series, and both are auto-resetting.
Understanding the Function of the L-200 Hi-Temp Limit Switch
If the temperature of the combustion chamber is too hot, the L-200 hi-temp limit switch opens and shuts off power
to the primary control on the burner, and the burner shuts off. The blower continues to run to cool down the
furnace. After the combustion chamber has cooled down, the L-200 hi-temp limit switch will automatically reset
and allow the burner to restart.
ATTENTION: If the L-200 hi-temp limit switch is opening repeatedly, the burner MUST be readjusted
according to the instructions in Section 6 to correct the overheating problem, or serious damage to the furnace
may occur.
The L-200 hi-temp limit switch will open and shut down the burner if any of the following conditions exists:
• The furnace is over ring. Review the directions in Section 6 to properly adjust the burner.
• Improper ductwork is installed on the furnace (applicable only if your furnace is
operating as a central furnace). Ductwork must be installed by qualied HVAC personnel according to industry standards and the specications provided in Section 3.
Understanding the Function of the L-290 Auxiliary Auto-Reset Hi-Temp Limit Switch
The L-290 auxiliary auto-reset high temperature limit switch is a back-up safety switch for the L-200 hi-temp
limit switch.
Both the L-200 and L-290 auxiliary hi-temp limit switches will open and shut down the burner if:
• the blower has stopped running for any reason during furnace operation, the heat in the furnace will cause the limit switches to open. Ensure that the blower is functioning properly.
ATTENTION: It is very important to determine the reason for the opening of the limit switches and take steps
to correct the cause; failure to do so may result in serious overheating and damage to the heat exchanger of the
furnace. Additionally,iftheburnerisrapidly cycling on/off, contact your Clean Burn Distributor immediately;
failure to address this situation may result in serious damage to the furnace.
Draft in the furnace is created as the hot combustion gases rise up the stack, creating a negative pressure
inside the stack and the furnace. This negative pressure is measured as inches of water column (W.C.) of
draft. A proper draft overre of -.02 to -.04 w.c. is essential so that all combustion products travel away
from the burner, down the combustion chamber, through the furnace ues and up the stack.
Checking for Correct Draft Overre
WARNING: Correct draft overre is
essential for the proper and safe operation
of your furnace.
Your furnace is equipped with an observation/
draft reading port to check draft overre. A
qualiedservicemanwithproperequipment
must check/adjust your furnace for proper draft.
Contact your Clean Burn dealer for this service.
1. Insert the probe of the draft gauge
instrument into the draft reading port in
the observation port as shown in
Figure 8A.
NOTE: Follow the directions with the
draft gauge to use your specic type of
gauge.
2. Note the draft overre reading on the draft
gauge.
ATTENTION: The draft reading should
be in the -.02 to -.04 w.c. range. Poor
draft (i.e. -.01 to +.08) results in back
pressure in the furnace and poor burner
performance. Too much draft overre
(i.e. greater than -.04) sucks the heat from
the furnace and results in abnormally high
stack temperature.
NOTE: If the draft overre is not in the -.02 to -.04 w.c. range, it is necessary to adjust the barometric
damper.
1. Before starting the burner, turn the weight
on the apper COUNTERCLOCKWISE
until the apper remains closed. This will
provide maximum draft for the furnace.
2. Follow the directions in Section 6 to start
and adjust the burner.
3. With the burner running, check the draft
overre with a draft gauge.
4. As shown in Figure 8B, adjust the weight
on the apper to obtain a consistent
-.02 w.c. draft overre. Turn the weight
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to increase draft(i.e. draft increases as the apper closes).
Turn the weight CLOCKWISE to decreasedraft (i.e. draft decreases as the apper
opens).
5. Tighten the locking nut to securely hold
the weight in position.

Solving Draft Overre Problems
WARNING! If you cannot achieve proper draft overre, do not operate your furnace!
Contact your Clean Burn dealer for assistance.
ATTENTION: Backdraft must be resolved or your furnace will not operate correctly!
Under backdraft conditions, draft overre readings will show positive pressure in the combustion
chamber. Backdraftmeans that oil spray, combustion products, and heat are blown back against the
burner. Backdraft results in oil-fouled retention heads and electrodes. Severe backdraft will force heat
back against the burner and result in heat damage to the cad cell and transformer.
Backdraft is caused by the following conditions:
• Poor draft caused by improper stack design. (See Section 4.)
• Poor draft caused by improper adjustment of the barometric damper. (See Above)
• Incorrect combustion air band setting on the burner. (See Section 6.)
• Furnace ues are plugged with ash. (See Section 9.)
• Exhaust fans in your building are sucking gases down the stack. (See following pages)
Any type of exhaust fan, paint booth, or exhaust system in a building will create negative pressure in the
building unless there is a source of make-up air (i.e. fresh air which enters the building and replaces the
air removed by the exhaust fans.) Refer to Figure 8C on the following page.
If there is insufcient make-up air, the exhaust fan will suck air and combustion gases down the furnace
stack and create backdraft in the furnace. Even if the exhaust fan is on another level of the building or in
another room away from the furnace, the exhaust fan will still create backdraft at the furnace.
Checking Draft Overre to Determine Severity of Backdraft
The following procedure is an accurate method of determining how much backdraft is created by the
exhaust fans. Once this is determined, you can select the correct method for resolving the backdraft.
Refer to Figure 8C on the following page as needed.
1. Turn off ALL exhaust fans and close ALL doors and windows in the building (any open door or
window will allow make-up air to enter the building and will negate the test).
2. Start the furnace and adjust the barometric damper so that the draft overre is -.02 w.c.
3. Check the draft overre again. Now have someone start the exhaust fans.
4. Note how much the draft overre has changed.
ATTENTION: If the draft overre changed towards positive, it is mandatory that make-up air
is provided to the building or severe damage to the furnace and burner will occur (voiding the
warranty). If the draft overre remained constant at -.02 w.c., there is sufcient make-up air
entering the building, and the exhaust fan is not adversely affecting the draft.
When exhaust fans are operated in tight buildings, there is little or no source of fresh air to replace the air
removed from the building by the exhaust fan. This results in negative pressure (vacuum) in the building which
creates severe backdraft problems at the furnace.
Properly sized make-up air louvers are designed to allow adequate fresh air to enter the building during operation
of the exhaust fans. The louvers automatically open under the vacuum created by the exhaust fans. The louvers
open just enough to provide the correct CFM of fresh air. The louvers automatically close when the exhaust fans
are turned off.
Sizing the Make-up Air Louver
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using louvers and grills, and the actual free area of the louver or grill is not known,
it is understood that wooden louvers/grills will have a free area of 25%, while metal louvers/grills will have a free
area of 75%. ("Free area" translates into the actual space allowing air to ow through.)
Procedure 1: (a) Determine the CFM rating of the exhaust fan. This information should be stamped on
a label on the exhaust fan. Make sure to add up the total CFM if more than one
exhaust fan exists in the building.
(b) Select the correct size of make-up air louver to provide the required CFM of fresh air.
If you cannot determine the CFM rating of the exhaust fan, use the following procedure.
Procedure 2: (a) Count the total number of exhaust fans in the building.
(b) Close all of the doors and windows in the building except for one overhead garage door.(c) Start the furnace and allow it to run for 15 minutes to bring it up to temperature.
(d) Set the draft-over-re for -.02" to -.04" W.C.
(e) Turn ON all of the exhaust fans in the building.
(f) Now close the opened overhead garage door slowly, just until the draft gauge moves down
into a positive (+) draft reading; as soon as it reaches this point, STOP the door at that
position.
(g) Slowly open the door back up, just until the draft reading comes back up to the -.02"
to -.04 W.C.
(h) Measure the size of the door opening, rounding this measurement off to the next largest
even foot.
Example of Calculations for Sizing Make-up Air Louver
Measured door opening: 12' wide x 9" high
• Round off to 12' wide x 1' high
• Convert to square feet (in this case, equals 12 square feet)
• Multiply by 1.1 correction factor (12 sq. ft. x 1.1 = 13.20 sq. ft.)
• Multiply by free area factor (13.20 sq. ft. x 1.25 = 16.50 sq. ft.)
• Refer to sizing chart (following page) - required grill size would be (1) 54" square grill
All louvers and grills, regardless of the material from which they are made, must be FIXED in the OPEN position
OR be interlocked with the appliance so that they will open automatically during the operation of the appliance.
The interlock must be placed on the driven member.
NOTE: It is very important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper performance of the louver.
1. The louver must not be close to the furnace. The fresh air should travel at least 40 to 50 feet before
reaching the furnace, so the air warms up. The furnace will not heat well if it is receiving cold return air.
2. The louver must be high in the sidewall of the building so the cold fresh air does not blow across the
oor level and chill the service personnel.
3. The louver should be installed in the opposite wall from the location of the exhaust fan. This
will quickly vent diesel exhaust from the top of the building and reduce the amount of run time
for the exhaust fan.
Servicing your Clean Burn furnace in a timely manner is very important to keep your furnace running in
peak condition. Just as an automobile requires periodic maintenance such as oil changes, engine tune-
ups, etc. your Clean Burn furnace also requires regularly scheduled service.
WARNING: Failuretomaintainand/orimproperservicingbyunqualiedpersonnelmayadversely affect the proper, safe operation of your furnace, may reduce the service life of your
furnace, and may void your warranty.
The following chart summarizes all the service intervals which are required to maintain your furnace.
Service instructions/procedures for these activities are included in this chapter.
Cleaning the canister lter Before vacuum gauge reads 10" HG of vacuum
Servicing the metering pump At least once a year
Cleaning the check valve/screen At least once a year
Cleaning water/sludge out of tank At least once a year
Cleaning out ash Approx. 700 hours as indicated on the burner hour meter*
Annual burner tune-up At least once a year
*It is very important to clean ash from the furnace on schedule. Normal use of the furnace requires
clean-out at least twice during the heating season. Heavy, around-the-clock usage requires more
frequent clean-out. For instance, one month of continual running of the furnace is 720 hours (24 hours x
30 days = 720 hours).
NOTE: IMPORTANT! Record all maintenance activities in the Maintenance Record provided in
Appendix C.
Following initial start up of the burner, you should inspect the operation of the burner periodically--ideally on a
monthly basis. Doing so ensures that the system is functioning efciently and safely.
Follow these guidelines for inspecting the operation of the burner:
• Visually inspect the ame length through the observation
port; the ame should extend no more than one-half of
the way down the combustion chamber.
• If the ame is diminishing or displays wide

guideline).
• Check the air pressure by observing the air gauge; proper air pressure settings are provided in
Section 6. DO NOT overre the burner; doing so on a continual basis will damage the furnace.
• Check the combustion air band setting for the proper opening and clean away any dust/debris as
necessary. Note that the air band should NEVER be set fully open or closed.
• Check the draft over re reading as specied in Section 8.

ATTENTION: Never operate your furnace with more than 10" HG of vacuum on the suction side of
the pump. High vacuum separates air from the oil and results in erratic burner operation.
The following protective gear should be worn when cleaning the lter:
• Rubber gloves
• Safety goggles
1. Close the ball valve adjacent to the lter.
2. Position a container under the lter.
3. Unscrew the four bolts to drain the oil from the canister.
4. Remove the canister bowl.
5. Clean the screen and the bowl in a parts washer.
6. Referring to Figure 9B, examine the lter components as you reassemble them.
7. Check the condition of the O-rings. Replace any that are cracked or worn.
8. Ensure that the canister lter is 100% airtight by rmly tightening the four bolts.
9. After the pump head screen is serviced as well (page 9-4) open the ball valve and refer to
Sections 5 and 6 for instructions on priming the pump and starting the burner.
USE A RATCHET WRENCH WITH A 6" EXTENSION
AND 3/16" "ALLEN" SOCKET TO REMOVE THE
FOUR "ALLEN" SCREWS
This procedure applies to furnace installations with inside and outside tanks. The following protective
gear should be worn when cleaning the check valve/screen:
• Rubber gloves
• Safety goggles
1. Refer to Figure 9D. Remove the one-piece suction oil line from the tank.
2. Remove the check valve and screen. Clean these components in a parts washer.
3. Check the operation of the check valve. The valve must seat so it is airtight to hold pump prime.
4. Re-assemble and re-install the components. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer or
equivalent to the threaded ttings. Firmly tighten all connections so the suction line is 100%
airtight.
5. Follow pump priming instructions in Section 5 to re-establish prime.
DO NOT allow water, sludge, or other debris to accumulate in your oil supply tank to the point that non-
combustible or harmful materials are drawn into the pump or burner.
Drain water and sludge from the bottom of your tank at least once a year, and more frequently with
water accumulation.
NOTE: If your used oil tank has not been cleaned on a regular basis, a considerable amount of sludge,
etc. may have accumulated on the bottom of the tank. Under these circumstances, it is advisable for you
to hire your used oil hauler to pump the tank. Make sure the tank is pumped to the bottom to remove
all sludge, etc. from the tank (your used oil hauler may charge an additional fee for this type of service).
The best time to pump the used oil tank is at the end of the heating season when the tank is low. This
allows sufcient time to rell the tank with used oil (generated by your company over the summer
months) so that you have adequate fuel for the heating season.
NOTE: The maintenance interval for cleaning ash from the furnace is approximately 700 hours of
operation as indicated on the hour meter on the burner (refer to the servicing intervals at the beginning
of this chapter). Be sure to clean the ash from your furnace at least twice during the heating season.
use. As ash accumulates, furnace heat output declines, and the stack temperature rises. 1/8" of ash has
the insulating capacity of one inch of berglass insulation and reduces heat transfer signicantly. Never
CAUTION: Be aware that used oils may contain heavy metallic compounds or foreign
materials. When burned, these compounds are deposited within the furnace, necessitating
careful cleaning. The following protective gear should be worn when cleaning the ash:
• Respirator for ne particles (a dust mask is not acceptable)
1. Ensure that power has been turned OFF, and all "hot" components have been allowed to cool
sufciently. (Allow at least one hour for the Energy Retention Disc to cool.)
2. Clean the ash from the stack components:
a. Brush accumulated ash from the stack cap.
b. Lightly tap the stack components to loosen the ash.
c. Allow ash and dust to settle in the elbow on the stack.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the stack to clean it. You will vacuum ash from the stack elbow as you clean out the back of the furnace as described below.
d. Remove the clean-out cap from the unused furnace breach.
e. Thoroughly vacuum out the back of the furnace, including the stack elbow, through the
clean-out breach. A long wand on the hose of your shop vac is helpful in reaching all the
way through the back of the furnace to the stack elbow.
3. Clean the ash from the combustion chamber (see Figure 9E):
a. Bleed down pressure on the air and oil lines by slightly loosening the ttings at the bottom of
the connector block.
NOTE: Turn off the shut-off on the air pressure line.b. With air and oil pressure completely bled off, disconnect the air and oil pressure lines from
the bottom of the connector block.
NOTE: Cover the lines to keep dirt from entering the air / oil supply.
c. Remove the lock-down nuts on the clean-out door.
d. Carefully swing open the clean-out door to expose the heat exchanger ues and the
combustion chamber. Carefully remove the Energy Retention Disc with a long handle or
pipe. Lightly vacuum the Energy Retention Disc.
e. Check the color of the ash--it should be light gray or tan.
ATTENTION: White ash indicates excessive air pressure. Black ash or soot indicates lack
of combustion air. If these conditions exist, call your Clean Burn dealer. DO NOT overre
your furnace by turning up the compressed air. Overring will damage the combustion
chamber and heat exchanger and will void your warranty.
f. Vacuum the ash from the combustion chamber and the ues.
ATTENTION: When cleaning the combustion chamber, ensure that you do not gouge or
damage the refractory material on the inside of the clean-out door.
NOTE: Avoid "packing" the ash in the tubes by rst vacuuming the ues before pushing
the ue brush down the ues. DO NOT bump or bend burner components while cleaning the
combustion chamber.
g. Use a ue brush to thoroughly clean the ues.
h. Thoroughly vacuum any remaining ash residue from the ues. Make sure the back (at the
breach) is still clean.
i. Check the ues for rust.
ATTENTION: The presence of rust in the ues indicates that chlorinated materials are being burned. Burning chlorinated materials will severely damage your heat exchanger and
void your warranty. Contact your Clean Burn dealer for instructions to test your oil for
chlorine contamination before ring your furnace.
j. Inspect the inside of the clean-out door. Make sure the refractory material on the inside of
the clean-out door is in good condition and the clean-out door seals tightly when closed. If
the door does not seal tightly, replace any damaged components.
k. Re-install the furnace components: Swing the clean-out door shut; install and tighten the
lock-down nuts so that the door seals properly. Re-install the air and oil lines on the bottom
of the connector block.
NOTE: You may need to bleed air from the oil line before starting the burner. See Section 5 for the pertinent instructions.
Annual Burner Tune-up
Your Clean Burn furnace requires annual periodic maintenance. The burner requires an annual tune-up
--similar to an automotive tune-up--to keep it running in peak condition. The burner tune-up should be
Contact your local Clean Burn dealer to schedule the annual periodic maintenance which is usually
(preferably) performed during warm weather to prepare the furnace for the next heating season. Various
levels of service are provided to t your particular need.
End of Season Maintenance
ATTENTION: Turn main power to your furnace OFF at the end of the heating season. EPA
regulations allow your used oil to be burned only for "heat recovery." DO NOT operate your furnace
during warm weather just to burn oil, or severe damage to the combustion chamber/heat exchanger may
occur.
Contact your local Clean Burn dealer to schedule your annual burner tune-up. Allow only trained,
authorized service personnel to service your burner.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Optional Draft Inducer
The Draft Inducer will require periodic maintenance to ensure that the fan blades do not accumulate
excessive ash which can create vibration, noise, and motor wear.
1. Ensure that power has been turned OFF, and all "hot" components have been allowed to cool
sufciently.
2. Disconnect the wires from the draft inducer and remove it from the stack penetration.
3. Clean the fan blades with a scraper and wire brush.
4. Oil the draft inducer motor according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
