3. Limit time on trial for ignition of Pilot and main burner to prevent excess fuel accumulation in fire chamber. After
the time limit is exceeded, the fuel should be shut off and a manual reset start-up required.
4. Prove Pilot and assure fuel-air proportioning dampers and burner controls are in low fire position Prior to opening fuel
supply to main burner.
5. Manually reset start-up controls following a flame failure of either the Pilot or main burner.
6. Assure fuel is clean from all residue and foreign materials by providing adequate fuel cleaning equipment.
7. Assure that exhaust is diverted around exhaust heated component Prior to starting up heat Source, if applicable.
