1) Clean fan blades; oil the motor.
Replace the fuel oil filter and clean
the oil pump strainer.

2) Remove, clean, and adjust the
oil nozzle and the electrode assem-
bly. Make sure the settings corre-
spond to those in the illustration to
the right.

3) Check the combustion efficiency
of the burner and adjust if neces-
sary.

4) Clean probe on top of boiler shell
and probes in water column. There
must be no pressure on the boiler
during the removal of the probes.

5) Check refractories for soot or
breakage and inspect the stainless
