Checklist outlines
furnace problems

From page 26

Here is a partial list of what must
be inspected and, if necessary,
repaired or replaced during any 12-
month period:
oii storage tanks and lines for rust,
deterioration and leaks:
¢ sight gauge and vent whistle opera-
tion;
¢ fuel filter replacement;

* fuel pump pressure to meet manu-
facturers’ specifications;

* fuel purnp auto cut-off operation

* clean and adjust the electrodes;

* inspect nozzle for flow rate, spray
angle and pattem;

* inspect combustion chamber;

* inspect and clean the heat exchang-
er, vent passages and vent pipes.

There are several warning signs
which may indicate a potential prob-
lem with your oil heating system. If
you notice any of the following, con-
tact a certified service person imme-
diately:

* the furnace keeps going out and/or
is difficult to restart from the manu-

facturers’ instructions;

* the furnace makes unusual noises or
creates odors;

* there are water stains on the furnace
or floor under the furnace:

* the floor or ground around the tank
or around the lines indicates a leak;

* rust spots are developing on the bot-
tom of your tank.

To avoid fires, keep the furnace
clear of all flammable substances.
This includes paint, varnish, bleach,
furniture stripper, other chemical sol-
vents, fuel and even lint from the
dryer. Overheating alone can cause
explosions. Store your combustibles
in sealed containers in well ventilated
areas and out of reach of children,
Another fire hazard around furnaces
are soiled rags. Rags that have
absorbed cil, paint, glue and other
chemicals can sometimes burst into
flames spontaneously.

If you use your basement as a
workshop, turn off the pilot light
inside the furnace and water heater
when working with combustibles,
including spray cans, as the fumes
could ignite and explode.
