Vibration frequently loosens the
throttle. Then it can slide to OFF during
operation. If the heater is hot, it will be
damaged by not having a chance to cool
off before shutdown. Feel the throttle
for play and move it up and down to test
the linkage. Fix a loose throttle by tight-
ening the nut on the throttle handle.
Report loose linkage.

M17-Series Decon…
If the detector is cracked or
broken, you won't be able to tell
if the burner is working. Report
a cracked detector. Your repair-
man should tighten the detector
holding screw hand-tight and
stop. Forcing it tighter is what
cracks the casing.
The fuel and water
lines, engine and burner
all have filters that need
attention. If just one of
the filters is clogged,
your M17 either won't
run or won't draw water.
Dirt or water in the
burner filter? Drain it.
Clean the fuel can filter
with your fingers or a
toothbrush. Get the
engine
fuel
filter
replaced if it's clogged.
Clean the water suction hose
and branch hose filter with a
wire brush. If the filters are in
bad shape, replace them with
spares from the accessory box.
Be sure to order new ones.

If the tripler caps are dirty or
