Hazard definitions
The following defined terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of
various risk levels or to important information concerning the life of the product.
Indicates presence of hazards that will
cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Indicates presence of hazards that can
cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Read and follow instructions below to install or service the burner to reduce risk of severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
•Appliance must be connected to a flue with
sufficient draft at all times to assure proper
operation.
•Do not use crankcase drainings or any oil
containing gasoline as it is more combustible than No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil.
•Do not attempt to start burner when excess
oil has accumulated in combustion chamber, when boiler is full of vapor, or when
combustion chamber is very hot.
•Always keep manual fuel supply valve shut
•Do not start burner unless flue collector
•Never burn garbage or paper in the appli-
•Never leave combustible material around

Pre-installation considerations
Codes and standards
•Install burner in accordance with NFPA 31, Standard for Oil-Burning Equipment and all local codes
and regulations of authorities having jurisdiction.
In Canada, refer to CSA B139, Installation Code for
Oil-Burning Equipment. Regulations of these authorities take precedence over instructions in this
manual.
•All wiring must comply with National Electrical
Code and local ordinances; in Canada, CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part One and any local
codes. Refer to wiring diagram in
supplied with burner.
ment
•Underwriters Laboratories has certified this burner
to comply with ANSI Standard 296.6 and has listed
it for use with No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil as specified in
ASTM D396.
Control Supple-
Chimney or vent
Inspect existing chimney or vent
before installing new burner. Failure to
do the following will cause severe
personal injury or death.
•Clean chimney, including removal
of blockage.
•Repair or replace damaged pipe or
liner.
•Repair mortar and joints.
Set the over-fire draft to the appliance manufacturer’s
recommended setting if available, or to -0.01" to -0.02"
water column. Install barometric control in breeching,
per control manufacturer’s instructions, when excess
draft needs to be relieved or to comply with applicable
codes and regulations. Use draft gauge to adjust proper
opening.
Combustion and ventilation
air openings
See appliance manual and
Burning Equipment
practice in Canada, refer to
Adequate combustion and ventilation
air must be provided to assure proper
combustion and reduce risk of flue gas
leakage and carbon monoxide
emissions, leading to severe personal
injury or death.
When the boiler is installed in a confined space (volume of space less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
input of all appliances in space), two permanent openings must be provided:
•One near the top of the enclosure
•One near the bottom.
•Each opening must have a free area of not less than
one (1) square inch per 1,000 Btuh (140 square inch
per gph), of the total input rating of all the appliances in the space.
When building is of unusually tight construction, has
a kitchen ventilating system, exhaust fans, clothes dryer
or vented fireplaces, it may be necessary to duct outside air directly to the burner in order to support clean
combustion. Weil-McLain QB-A1 Outside Air Kit, part
number 644-500-056, provides outside air directly to
the burner.
• If QB-180 or QB-300 Oil Burner is
received separately for field installation,
proceed to page 5,
• If QB-180 or QB-300 Oil Burner is
received installed on the boiler, proceed
directly to page 8,

g. Replace spinner assembly on nozzle adapter. Top
leg of spinner must align vertically between electrodes. Make sure clamp is back against the
shoulder on adapter. Tighten clamping screw.
Fuel pump is factory set at 140 psig
(QB-300) or 150 psig (QB-180). Use of
a nozzle selected for 100 psig pressure
could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.

Fuel pumps and oil lines
General
All installations must comply with national or local
codes and ordinances.
Oil line must be piped properly to
avoid risk of serious personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Follow these recommendations:
•When installing oil lines, use
continuous runs of heavy-wall
copper tubing.
•Be sure all connections are airtight.
Flared fittings are recommended.
Do not use compression fittings.
Do not use Teflon tape.
•Use an oil filter of adequate size for
all installations. Install filter inside
building between tank shutoff valve
and burner. For easy servicing,
locate shutoff valve and filter near
burner.
•Long or oversized inlet lines may
require the pump to operate dry
during initial bleeding period. In
such cases, assist priming by
injecting fuel oil into pump gearset.
•Never exceed 3 psi pressure to inlet
side of pump. Pressure over 3 psi
may damage shaft seal and allow it
to leak oil.
port. Do not use easy flow air bleed valve. It contains
higher pressure than operating pressure.
Setting pump pressure with gauge in easy flow air bleed
valve will result in wrong operating pressure.
Average cutoff pressure is 120 psig. Check cutoff
pressure by installing pressure gauge in nozzle port of
fuel pump. Run burner for short time. Shut off burner.
Gauge shows cutoff pressure.
Figure 5Fuel pump — Typical
Solenoid valve
Solenoid valve supplied in nozzle line is a non-delay
valve and provides instant oil supply shutoff to nozzle.
Vacuum gauge
Vacuum gauge may be installed in either of the ¼" inlet
ports. Vacuum is total of all pressure drops in system
from tank to pump inlet.

Burner fuel pump — A single-stage pump is limited
to a fuel lift height of no more than 10 feet. For greater
lifts install a two-stage pump on the burner.
Fuel suction line vacuum must not exceed 12" Hg
for a single-stage pump or 17" for a two-stage pump.
Bypass plug must be used with two-pipe installations.
Remove plug from plastic bag attached to fuel pump.
Remove ¼" plug from return port. Insert bypass plug.

Final Adjustments
You must use test instruments to
properly start, check and adjust burner.
Failure to do so could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
1. Make sure combustion and ventilation air supply
is sufficient for normal appliance operation. Close
windows and doors in appliance area to simulate
normal job condition. Start boiler and allow for a
10-minute warm up.
2. Check for -.01" to -.02" W.C. draft in combustion
chamber. Adjust barometric damper as necessary.
3. Check for 0 smoke.
4. Check for CO2 between 11% and 12 ½%.
• To increase CO2, close attenuating air band set-
ting.
• To decrease CO2, open attenuating air band set-
ting.
5. Check CO2, smoke and draft levels again.
6. Start and stop unit several times.
7. Check operation of limits, thermostats and timing
of combustion control.
8. Check for oil leaks.
9. Recheck all installations after one to two weeks of
operation.
