oil
Refill tank with oil
Replace nozzle
Clean feed pump filter
Clean oil lines, and insulate tank and oil line
Install an additional feed pump
Replace filter and clean oil lines
Replace
Check compressed air and gauge pressure
using primary airflow control
Troubleshoot the heater and unlock the safety
temperature limiter
Adjust the level control float
Nozzle and baffle plate
are heavily soiled with
oil or soot
Incorrect baffle plate setting
Combustion airflow rate too high or too low
Boiler room is not sufficiently ventilated
Correct the baffle plate setting dimensions
Set the primary airflow rate
Set the secondary airflow rate at the air control
flap
Pay attention to sufficiently large ventilation
ports
