Landa Sure Fire Oil Burner
Burner Air Adjustment
: The oil burner on this
machine is preset for operation at altitudes below 500
feet. If operated at higher altitudes, it may be necessary
to adjust the air band for a #1 or #2 smoke spot on the
Bacharach scale.
To adjust, start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen
two locking screws found on the air band and close air
band until black smoke appears from burner exhaust
vent. Note air band position. Next, slowly open the air
band until white smoke just starts to appear. Turn air
band halfway back to the previously noted position.
Tighten locking screws.
Burner Air Adjustment
CAUTION: If white smoke appears from burner
exhaust vent during start-up or operation,

NOTE:
If a flue is installed, have a professional
serviceman adjust your burner for a #1 or #2 smoke
spot on the Bacharach scale.

Final Note
The 12 VDC burner systems can draw as much as 18
amps! For such motors to run properly, the battery and
engine charging system must be kept in good condi-
tion, and the engine must run fast enough to
adequately charge the battery. Do not throttle down the
engine at any time while the machine is operating.
