Note: Use #6 x 7/16” screws when using the bottom mounting
holes. Use #10 thread forming paint scraping screws, if using
the two top mounting holes for 5199704. For 5199705, use
1/4” machine screws, placing (1) 1/4” lockwasher between
screwhead and baseplate to ensure ground for 5199705.
Tighten all screws securely.
Install base plate gaskets for Beckett CG10, CG15, CG25 and
CG50 burners.
Use of top mounting screws is possible for Beckett CG10
through CG50 burners.
Mount the assembled unit to the burner using the screws
supplied.
Use “paint scraping” screws for all burners (2 at the hinge and
at least 2 for non-hinged base plates). Tighten these screws
securely to provide effective grounding to burner housing.
Verify the burner is properly grounded.
Carefully route the igniter input leads to prevent them from
being pinched during closing.
Wire white to neutral and blue to primary control ignition
lead. Refer to the burner or appliance manufacturer’s wiring
diagram.
Verify the igniter secondary output terminal lead is correctly
arranged to make good electrical contact with the gas burner
electrode.
Verify the ignition electrode gap and orientation are set to the
manufacturer’s specifi cations.
Close the igniter. Install and securely tighten the two front
base plate retaining screws (4 screws if no hinge).
Reconnect electric power to the burner circuit.
Verify with instruments that the burner is adjusted to the
manufacturer’s recommended settings
Cycle the burner several times to verify prompt and smooth
ignition before leaving.
