Looking for an old post, I typed in the number of an instruction sheet, that I knew was in the post, PM-32333. The on-site search function came up with zero hits. When I did the same on Google, I got my post in one of the results....
Made some progress on the coolant heater.

Next, I went thru the starting procedure and could hear the flame catch after about 2 minutes. Good news it's running, however the flame detector...
