MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

!WARNING!: Heaters should be fully serviced annually to ensure proper

erformance. Maintenance should be performed by trained personnelp

only. Incorrect maintenance may result in improper operation and

serious injury.

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH

The limit switch should be checked every heating season to ensure the burner will
shutdown if temperature exceeds 220 F. (This can be done by restricting the air
flow through the unit. After tests are complete, remove restriction for proper operation).

AN SWITCH

F

The fan switch has been selected to allow for preheating of the heat exchanger to ensure that
only heated air is allowed to enter the space. Upon satisfying the need for heat, the fan switch will
continue to run the supply fan until the heat exchanger has cooled sufficiently. This feature will

help prolong the life of your heat exchanger.

FUEL FILTER

Replace cartridge every usage or sooner, depending(48164 or 48164A)once week of normal

upon fuel .quality

BURNER

The electrode spacing must be checked and adjusted, if necessary after every nozzle
change. Nozzle should be replaced annually or sooner if burner cannot be set up to
operate properly. Nozzle size and type are marked on the rating plate.

ELECTRICAL

Ensure all conduit (BX) connectors are tight. Check inside connections in control box to ensure
good connections. Check marrettes.

FAN

Check for dust or dirt build up on blades. Run heater to check for fan vibration. Replace fan blade

if vibration is noticeable.

MOTORS

No lubrication is necessary since the bearings are the sealed type Clean motor of existing dust or dirt..

FUEL SYSTEM

Periodically remove fuel tank drain plug and clean tank. Do not store unit containing
furnace oil for long periods. The quality of fuel oil will affect light off at low ambient

temperatures, #1 fuel oil or kerosene are recommended for temperatures below -10

8 F.o(see page 7 for recommended settings if using #2 fuel oil in cold temperature)

FUEL PUMP

Check fuel pump pressure on a regular basis. This should be checked at the bleeder screw.

THE CLEANWITH CUT PUMP ADD 10 LBS TO THIS READING TO GET THE TRUE

PRESSURE. There is a pressure loss when fuel passes through solenoid valve. Example:

IDH200QR oil, 60 Ppressure should be read on the guage at 1 SI, reading at nozzle line will

50then be 1 . Units with the Suntec A2YA7916, pressure reading can be checked at the guage

port. This will provide a true reading.

HEAT EXCHANGER

If a smokey condition continues even after adjusting the air band assembly, the heat exchanger
should be thoroughly cleaned as per next page.

CLEANING PROCEDURE ON HEAT EXCHANGER

1. Remove 4 bolts securing rear hood (21008) to heater and remove hood.

2. Remove exhaust gas vent trim plate (21206)

3. Remove the high limit cover

4. Remove the push on wires from the limit switch(s) (21006 & 21005 LP/NG) and note their
proper connection location for re-assembly.

5. Loosen the nut securing the connector for the armoured cable where it enters the thermostat
limit switch enclosure and pull entire wiring bundle our from opening in the enclosure end plate.

6. Remove the screws securing top half of the heat exchanger enclosure (21204A) to the bottom
half.

CLEANING PROCEDURE ON HEAT EXCHANGER cont.

7. Removing the top half of the heat exchanger enclosure will reveal the heat exchanger and the
burner mount tube.

8. Remove the four nuts securing the burner mount tube to the heat exchanger.

9. Heat exchanger can now be slid slightly forward to disengage the studs from the burner mount
tube and will lift out.

10. Clean heat exchanger by using a pressure washer want and hot water inside the opening
where the burner inserts into the heat exchanger and through the flue vent opening to remove
and build up.

To reassemble, reverse the procedure. Ensure that the gasket material between the burner
mount tube and the heat exchanger and under the vent trim plate are in good condition when
re-assembling. If gaskets are deteriorated, replace gaskets.

12. Please contact the factory if you need assistance.

Ensure all wiring is re connected to their proper locations and all covers are properly secured
before re starting the unit.

COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENTS

****For proper combustion air adjustment a calibrated gas analyzer and/or smoke tester should be
used to ensure complete combustion. Air adjustment should be made at the correct input and be
adjusted to achieve 10% CO2.

control should be set to provide no more than a No. 1 smoke (Bacharach Scale). The Beckett burner has a
calibrated air band and air shutter, which will assist in adjusting the primary air for a good oil/air mixture.
Adjust shutter by loosening lock screws and moving air shutter (B20254) to the setting listed below. Check
for excessive heat build up in the heat exchanger and any visible smoke from the vent stack V. ery cold
operating conditions may require a slight reduction in air to aid ignition. Insufficient air will cause flame
impingement and reduced heat exchanger life. Increase air until heat build up has been eliminated. Check
for proper ignition. Once satisfied re- tighten all screws and locking mechanisms.

For optimum combustion efficiency on oil models the combustion air

This adjustment is to be carried out while the unit is operating and after 5 minutes of firing. Rotating the air
bands on the burner housing makes the adjustment.
