The RIELLO
Troubleshooters Workshop
FIR-14
This program is our 'signature' seminar.
We first prepared this course for the manufacturer in 1980 as a basic course and it has now evolved into an advanced course. Constantly revised to reflect product changes and field conditions, the course takes the attendee through an all day, 'no sales pitch' presentation on the RIELLO residential oilburner. It is designed for apprentices to senior technicians and covers all aspects of burner setup, service and diagnostic troubleshooting using tips, tools and instruments found in 'The RIELLO Handbook'. This is the only training program given by the author of the course text. Includes the text, #130 Multidriver, adapters and the #111 Deviator switch. Check the course flyer for more information.
