Prior to start up the burner, make sure that the return pipe to the tank is not obstructed. Any obstruction would
cause the pump seal to break.
Start the burner and light the photoresistor after the opening of the solenoid valve, then breath the air through the pressure
gauge.
During the test in the factory, the air damper in the low flame operation mode, the light oil regulator and the servocontrol are set
to their intermediate positions. To change the settings in the plant follow this procedure.
1 Turn on the burner and verify the operation. If the ignition is correct jump to step 3, else follow the directions on step 2.
2 To set the air rate during ignition (same position as low flame) work on the cam ST1 on the servocontrol (Fig. 23); to incre-
ase the air rate increase the opening angle of the servocontrol.
To set the light oil rate during ignition, work on the screw V (Fig. 22 - Fig. 27). Rotate clockwise to increase the oil rate or coun-
terclockwise to decrease it.
After the completion of such adjustments, turn off the burner and turn it on again, verifiyng the operation: if all regulations are
satisfactory, proceed with point 3, else repeat the previous operations.
3 Drive the burner to the high flame. Set the light oil rate to the requested value by means of the screw V, corresponding to
the 90° position on the servocontrol . To adjust the air flow rate, unscrew the screw RA (Fig. 21) and rotate the screw VRA
(Fig. 27) until the desired rate is obtained; clockwise rotation increases the air rate, counterclockwise rotation decreases it.
4 Turn off the burner, turn it on again and check its operation; if the light oil rate or the air rate need further adjustments,
repeat the procedure described in step 2.
Note: At the end of settings remember to tight the lock screw RA.

Prior to start up the burner, make sure that the return pipe to the tank is not obstructed. Any obstruction would
cause the pump seal to break.
Start the burner and light the photoresistor after the opening of the solenoid valve, then breath the air through the pressure
gauge.
During the test in the factory, the air damper in the low flame operation mode, the light oil regulator and the servocontrol are set
to their intermediate positions. To change the settings in the plant follow this procedure.
1 Start the operation of the burner and wait until the flame appears; keep the burner in the ignition phase by means of the
AUTO-MAN selector on the servocontrol (Fig. 26, ignition position =0).
2 To set the air flow rate of the ignition stage, rotate the cam AB on the servocontrol (Fig. 24) following these directions:
z remove the plastic lock B;
z keep completely pushed the green lever G;
z manually drive the air damper to the desired position and release the lever G.
z To set the light oil rate of the ignition phase, work on the screw V (Fig. 26); rotate clockwise to increase the light oil rate or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
3 Turn off the burner, select the AUTO position on the servocontrol by means of the AUTO-MAN selector and turn on the bur-
ner. If the settings are correct jump to step 4, otherwise repeats the previous steps.
4 Turn on the burner, select the MAN position on the servocontrol and if necessary adjust the ignition light oil rate working on
the screws V, as shown in Fig. 26 and Fig. 27.
5 With the servocontrol still in the MAN position, drive the servocontrol towards the high flame position (servocontrol position
= 90°)
WARNING: rotate slowly by hand the servocontrol, having care the burner doesn’t operate with insufficient air flow.
Drive the servocontrol to the AUTO position and adjust the light oil rate working on the screws V (Fig. 26 - Fig. 27).
To set the air rate slacken the screw RA (Fig. 27) and rotare the screw VRA (Fig. 27; clockwise rotation increases the air rate,
counterclockwise rotation decreases it), until the desired rate is obtained.
6 Drive the burner to low flame, check the combustion and if necessary adjust the light oil rate working on the screws V (Fig.
26 - Fig. 27).
At the end of settings remember to tight the screw VRA and refit the plastic lock B.

LIMITATIONS OF USE
THE BURNER IS AN APPLIANCE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO OPERATE ONLY AFTER BEING CORRECTLY
CONNECTED TO A HEAT GENERATOR (E.G. BOILER, HOT AIR GENERATOR, FURNACE, ETC.), ANY OTHER USE IS TO
BE CONSIDERED IMPROPER AND THEREFORE DANGEROUS.
THE USER MUST GUARANTEE THE CORRECT FITTING OF THE APPLIANCE, ENTRUSTING THE INSTALLATION OF IT
TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AND HAVING THE FIRST COMMISSIONING OF IT CARRIED OUT BY A SERVICE CENTRE
AUTHORISED BY THE COMPANY MANUFACTURING THE BURNER.
A FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR IN THIS RESPECT IS THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE GENERATOR’S CONTROL
AND SAFETY UNITS (CONTROL THERMOSTAT, SAFETY, ETC.) WHICH GUARANTEES CORRECT AND SAFE FUNCTIO-
NING OF THE BURNER.
THEREFORE, ANY OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE MUST BE PREVENTED WHICH DEPARTS FROM THE INSTALLA-
TION OPERATIONS OR WHICH HAPPENS AFTER TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAMPERING WITH THESE (E.G. DISCONNEC-
TION, EVEN PARTIAL, OF THE ELECTRICAL LEADS, OPENING THE GENERATOR DOOR, DISMANTLING OF PART OF
THE BURNER).
OPERATE ONLY THE MAIN SWITCH, WHICH THROUGH ITS EASY ACCESSIBILITY AND RAPIDITY OF OPERATION
ALSO FUNCTIONS AS AN EMERGENCY SWITCH, AND ON THE RESET BUTTON.
IN THE EVENT OF REPEATED LOCKOUTS, DO NOT PERSIST WITH THE RESET BUTTON AND CONTACT QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL WHO WILL PROCEED TO ELIMINATE THE MALFUNCTION.
WARNING: DURING NORMAL OPERATION THE PARTS OF THE BURNER NEAREST TO THE GENERATOR (COUPLING
FLANGE) CAN BECOME VERY HOT, AVOID TOUCHING THEM SO AS NOT TO GET BURNT
OPERATION
z Set to the ON position the switch A on the control panel of the burner.
z Check the flame control device is not in the stop position (light B must be off); in such a case reset it with the reset pushbut-
ton C.
z Check the serie of thermostats or pressure switches gives the consent to operate the burner.
z The startup sequence begins: the flame control device starts the fan motor and meanwhile energizes the ignition trans-
former (signalled by the light H on the control panel of the burner).
z At the end of the pre-purge stage, the light oil solenoid valve EV1 is energized (signalled by the lamp G on the control
panel) and the burner is on.
z The ignition transformer remains energized for any seconds after the ignition of the flame (post-ignition time) and at the end
of this time is de-energized (light H off).
Burners PG30 and PG60
z The burner is now in operation in the low flame stage (light G on); after 5 ÷ 15 sec. (depending by the flame controller
installed) the 2 stages operation begins and the burner automatically switches to high flame or remains in low flame,
depending on the plant demand.
Burners PG70 ÷ PG520
z After the ignition the servocontrol opens for 5 - 15 sec. After this time the operation begins and the burner switches to high
flame or to low flame, depending on the plant demand.
Operation in high or low flame is signalled by the signalling lamp F (on or off) on the control panel.

z Do not use fuel with additives to avoid the possible formation over time of compounds which may deposit between the gear
teeth, thus obstructing them.
z After filling the tank, wait before starting the burner. This will give any suspended impurities time to deposit on the bottom of
the tank, thus avoiding the possibility that they might be sucked into the pump.
z On initial commissioning a "dry" operation is foreseen for a considerable length of time (for example, when there is a long
suction line to bleed). To avoid damages inject some lubrication oil into the vacuum inlet.
z Care must be taken when installing the pump not to force the pump shaft along its axis or laterally to avoid excessive wear on
the joint, noise and overloading the gears.
z Pipes should not contain air pockets. Rapid attachment joint should therefore be avoided and threaded or mechanical seal
junctions preferred. Junction threads, elbow joints and couplings should be sealed with removable sg component. The num-
ber of junctions should be kept to a minimum as they are a possible source of leakage.
z Do not use PTFE tape on the suction and return line pipes to avoid the possibility that particles enter circulation. These could
deposit on the pump filter or the nozzle, reducing efficiency. Always use O-Rings or mechanical seal (copper or aluminium
gaskets) junctions if possible.
z Filter must be thoroughly cleaned at least once in a season to ensure correct working of the fuel unit. To remove the filter,
unscrew the four screws on the cover. When reassemble, make sure that the filter is mounted with the feet toward the pump
body. If the gasket between cover and pump housing should be damaged, it must be replaced. An external filter should
always be installed in the suction line upstream of the fuel unit.
