SYMPTOMS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
The machine stops with
flame.
RESET button (D Fig. 5 o
6) on
1. Photo-resistance circuit is broken or the Pho-
to-resistance is dirty with smoke residue
2. Dirty fuel filter
3. Flame Control device Circuit is broken
4. Flame disk or tube (Fig. 12, 13, 14) dirty
1. Clean or replace the Photo-resistance
2. Remove filter and clean it
3. Replace the flame control the circuit
4. Dismantle and clean it
The machine stops, spray-
ing fuel without verifying the
flame. RESET button (D Fig.
5 o 6) on
1. The electrical system is not compatible
2. Ignition Transformer (M Fig. 6) disconnected or
broken
3. Ignition Transformer wires short circuit to
ground
4. The electrodes are not at the proper distance
5. The electrodes short circuit to ground because
they are dirty or the insulation is damaged
1. Verify the entire circuit
2. Replace it
3. Replace it
4. Reposition them at the correct distance (see
Fig. 14)
5. Clean them or, if necessary replace them
The machine doesn’t spray
fuel and stops.
RESET button (D Fig. 5 o
6) on
1. Photo-electric cell sees a strong source of light
2. The power supply is missing a phase to the
motor
3. Fuel is not arriving to the pump
4. No fuel in the tank
5. Nozzle clogged
1. Place the machine so that the light source
does not directly face the front deflector
2. Control the electric system
3. Control the fuel supply lines (D Fig. 3)
4. Resupply the fuel tank
5. Dismantle and clean or replace it
The burner doesn’t start
1. The control device (Thermostat or Timer) is on
2. Short circuit in Photo-resistance (T Fig. 6)
3. Power loss due to: disconnected switch (4) or
disconnected main switch due to power loss in
the line
4. The installation of the control device (Thermo-
stat or Timer) is not correct
5. Break inside the flame control device
6. Fuse inside the burner bonnet
1. Raise the value or control the Timer settings
2. Replace it
3. Turn off the electric system and then turn off
the switches or wait for the power supply to
return
4. Control the installation following the descrip-

1. Low pulverisation pressure
2. Insufficient combustible air
3. Nozzle clogged because it is dirty or old
4. Water in the fuel. Poor quality fuel
5. The tank is running out of fuel
1. Reestablish the correct value
2. Increase the combustible air
