1) Check wiring to motor (per wiring schematic in manual).
2) Make sure that the pressure gauge is in place and not damaged.
3) Adjust pressure for proper heater operation per manual.
4) With heater disconnected from AC source, rotate fan clockwise to verify motor is free.
5) Remove air filter housing from motor and inspect the pump rotor for damage. If damaged, replace rotor assembly.
6) If wiring is correct, pump rotor is okay, and motor is not rotating freely, replace motor or power-pack assembly.
7) If problem persists, replace oil flame control assembly.
8) Check for spark arching from the electrode assembly, to the combustion cylinder.
9) Check the cad cell for continuity.
1) Check length and gage of extension cord for proper amp. draw. (Check requirements on page 4.)
2) Check wiring to igniter (per wiring schematic in manual).
3) Check gap between electrode probes (2.3 - 3 mm).
4) Still no spark, replace igniter assembly.
