Air Adjustment:
Machines are preset and performance tested at the fac-
tory - elevation 100'. A one-time initial correction for your
location will pay off in economy, performance, and ex-
tended service life. If a smoky or eye-burning exhaust is
being emitted from the stack, two things should be
checked. First, check the fuel to be certain that kero-
sene or No. 1 home heating fuel is being used. Next,
check the air adjustment on the burner.
To adjust, start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen two
locking screws found in the air shutter openings (refer to
illustration) and close air shutter until black smoke appears
from burner exhaust vent. Note air band position. Next,
slowly open the air shutter until white smoke just starts to
appear. Turn air shutter halfway back to the black smoke
position previously noted. Tighten locking screws.
If the desired position cannot be obtained using only the
air shutter, lock the air shutter in as close a position as can
be obtained, then repeat the above procedure on the air
band setting.
