(when required)
1. Remove the screws securing the burner shield
and remove burner shield.
2. Using a
7
/
16
” open-end wrench, remove the
burner orifices from the manifold.
3. Apply a small amount of pipe dope to each of
the new orifices and install in the manifold us-
ing a
7

16
” open-end wrench. Make sure the ori-
fices are aligned correctly, not cross-threaded
in the manifold tappings.
Use only pipe dope compatible
with propane gas, even if boiler

gas. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property
damage.
4. Carefully replace the burner shield.
5. Follow the check-out procedure, Section
