Part 2 Service and Maintenance
Keep the area around the burner clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl ammable liquids or vapors. Do not obstruct burner air inlet or ventilation air.
-
The motor features permanently lubricated ball bearings and requires no routine oiling or
maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Check the burner fl ame periodically. A proper NATURAL gas fl ame will appear blue
at the burner face with orange and yellow tips. A proper PROPANE gas fl ame will appear blue at
the burner face with yellow tips. If the fl ame is too rich, it will appear billowy and yellow with hazy
tips. If too lean, it will appear short and all blue. If the fl ame does not appear proper, CONTACT A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR CLEANING, READJUSTMENT AND/OR REPAIR.
WARNING: If any fl ame is observed when the burner is on standby, or if the ignition
spark or gas valve operator is heard to come on before the motor reaches operating speed,
immediately turn off the Main Manual Shut-off Valve and power to the burner. A dangerous
condition has developed and must be corrected. CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN FOR CLEANING, RE-ADJUSTMENT AND/OR REPAIR.
WARNING: If PROPANE gas is used and the burner is located in a basement, crawl
space or confi ning space, contact your gas supplier about installing a GAS LEAK warning
device. PROPANE gas is heavier than air and can settle in low areas or confi ned spaces. This
would create a dangerous condition and cause an explosion or fi re. If you suspect a gas leak,
follow instructions on front cover of this manual.
