TO SIMPLIFY OPERATIONS AND INCREASE SAFETY, THE ARMY HAS COME UP WITH NEW STARTING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY CAUTIONS.

I'M OLD, BUT I'M IMPROVED!

Starting Instructions

1. Verify that the burner fuel pressure is 95 to 105 psi.

2. Verify the burner fuel valve is fully clockwise.

3. Turn the THERMOSTAT thermostat, automatic device that regulates temperature in an enclosed area by controlling heating or refrigerating systems. It is commonly connected to one of these systems, turning it on or off in order to maintain a predetermined temperature.  SELECTOR switch Noun 1. selector switch - a switch that is used to select among alternatives
selector

telephone dial, dial - a disc on a telephone that is rotated a fixed distance for each number called
 to the desired temperature setting.

4. Lift and hold the BURNER CHOKE handle while pressing the START BURNER button for no more than one second.

5. Watch for flame in the burner sight tube and listen for the burner lighting.

If the burner does not light, wait two seconds for fuel vapors to clear in the boiler and try the START BURNER button again for one second. No luck? Wait two seconds and hit the START BURNER again for one second.

Still no luck? Let the engine and burner fan run full speed for two minutes to clear the burner of fuel vapors. Then troubleshoot using Step 13 in Para 3-4 of TM 3-4230-218-12&P.

Under no circumstances should you push the START BURNER button longer than two seconds unless the burner is running. Otherwise vapors build up in the burner and could cause an explosion.

When the burner fire starts, hold the START BURNER button while releasing the BURNER CHOKE handle. When the OPEN MAG VALVE light comes on, release the START BURNER button.

Warning Labels

Every Sanator should have two warning labels: one for the burner exhaust ports (Steam Engine) the opening, in the cylinder or valve, by which the exhaust steam escapes.

 and one for the top of the storage box. If your Sanator is missing labels, contact TACOM's Stephen LeFebvre at DSN DSN - Digital Switched Network  793-3126/(309) 7823126 or email lefebvres@ria.army.mil He'll send you labels.
