IGNITER and ELECTRODE

Servicing of the igniter and electrode is needed when a spark
is not observed at the electrode when pushing the igniter
button. This may happen with hard use over a period of time,
dust and dirt accumulation, or improper gap
If you do not see a spark being generated at the electrode
check the following areas:
A. Igniter
1. Remove the wire from the push button igniter.
2. Position a screwdriver tip about 1/8 in.(3 mm) from
igniter. See Fig. 14.
3. Holding the screwdriver by its handle, push the igniter's
button several times. If spark is not seen, replace the
igniter. If spark is observed, proceed to electrode
servicing.

TIP SWITCH
The tip switch is a normally closed device. It will open the
circuit to the safety control valve and shut the burner off
if the heater is accidentally tipped over, moved while in
operation, or operating on an inclined surface.
The tip switch must be tested before each use.
-- Place the heater to normal operating
position.
-- Light the heater.
-- Tip the heater at least 35 degrees. The
switch should open and shut the burner off.
-- If the heater continues to burn, the switch is
defective and should be replaced.

B. Electrode
1. Ensure the wire between the electrode and the igniter is
securely connected.
2. Check the wire for nicks, cuts, or mars. Nicks or cuts
will prevent a spark from being generated at the
electrode tip. Replace the electrode if necessary. The
electrode ships with the wire.
3. Ensure electrode tip is 1/8 in. (3.0 mm) from the pilot
head. Clean the electrode with emery cloth or steel
wool. See Fig. 15.
4. Verify that the electrode's insulator body is not cracked
and that the electrode rod does not move within its the
body. If it does, replace the electrode.
