To test if there is a problem, open an overhead door and see if you now have the proper draft. You may have to add one or more sections of “Class A” chimney to the roof to get the proper draft. 18. The heater and chimney must be installed in accordance with all state and local codes. The heater must be installed in accordance with the specifications listed in this manual.
Section 4 - Draft Section 13 - Service / Maintenance Cleaning Suction Line Strainer bolt The suction line strainer should be cleaned every 30 days of operation. The element is a washable metal element. If your waste oil is extremely dirty, this strainer may need to be cleaned more frequently. Your vacuum gauge will help you determine when the filter needs cleaning. The vacuum gauge reading should not exceed 5" HG of vacuum. If it does, the strainer needs cleaning.
! Section 5 - Fuel Supply Tank Installation If using a Lanair supply tank follow instructions included with the tank. General Requirements 1. The fuel supply tank and supply lines must be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association requirements, as well as State and Local ordinances. 2. Regulations require oil storage tanks located inside not too exceed 275 gallons individually, and are not to exceed a total capacity of 550 gallons in one building. Check State and Local codes. 3.
Section 6 - Fuel Supply Pump/Piping Section 13 - Service / Maintenance General Requirements Oil Pre-Heater Tune -Up Kit (PN# 9869) Required. 1. Mount the fuel supply pump in a horizontal position (shaft horizontal) near the fuel supply tank. 2. The oil pump has a maximum suction lift of 14 feet. Suction lift is the length of pipe run from the bottom of the pick up strainer to the fuel supply pump. 3. The fuel pump/motor are intended for indoor use only. 4.
Section 6 - Fuel Supply Pump/Piping 14. Install the fuel supply line from the fuel by-pass regulator (port B) to the inlet port on the left side of the burner using 1/2” inside diameter (.493) steel pipe, or 1/2” outside diameter copper tubing. The maximum distance of this line is 25 feet. The fuel supply line must be run below the burner at all times. If the fuel supply line runs above the burner it will create head pressure. This head pressure will over-fire the burner voiding the warranty. 15.
