Hello:

Those who have responded, have given good advice. During the start sequence, if the propane lights but the turbine does not go into preheat, then fuel ramp, you will receive an Error Code stating: Time(ed) OUT. This means there was not enough propane or gas getting to the chamber so as to allow the temperature to rise 60 degrees higher than the starting point temperature. If this is the case, increase the gas setting 5 points at a time until you get the required propane/gas flow to the combustion chamber allowing the turbine to continue the start sequence.

As for removing the front cover (?) once you have removed the 3 screws, lightly tap on the cover with a rubber handle tool. . .this will "Pop" the cover loose. It is a very snug machine fit. Once under the cover, follow the gas line to the 90 degree Festo. If the 90 degree Festo is compromised and has a burn through hole, the turbine will not start. If this is the case, this condition is caused by a pressure loss due to a connection which has allowed a leak. Heat from the combustion chamber then travels back toward the gas solenoid and will burn components as it travels.

I trust this helps.

Regards,
Eric
