With the log shelf installed correctly, the pilot shield should protect the pilot flame from air disturbances, keeping the flame pointed directly at the thermocouple (see the illustration below). An improperly placed log shelf or a slight misalignment of the pilot shield may cause intermittent pilot dropout when the flame is blown away from the thermocouple. Use the illustration below to check the log shelf and pilot shield. If the log shelf is out of alignment, remove it and reinstall. If the pilot shield is out of alignment, follow the directions on the following page to fix the problem. Check the pilot flame to see if it is deflected forward (it may be intermittent - watch for at least 30 seconds) NOTE: The the pilot flame is exaggerated in this illustration. Models Affected: • Avalon 700 B-Vent • Avalon 700 DV • Avanti DV • Avanti B-Vent • Lopi Spirit B-Vent Copyright ' 4/20/2006 • Lopi Spirit DV • Lopi Spirit Insert • Lopi Heritage Bay Insert • Travis DVS Insert • Travis DVS Fireplace 8 Travis Industries, Inc. Copyright ' 4/20/2006 9 Travis Industries, Inc. Check the pilot shield. Pilot Hood With the log shelf correctly aligned, the pilot shield should look like this. The right edge should be 1/8” to the left of the tip of the thermocouple. Mis-placed pilot shields may lead to pilot outage. See the directions on the following page to align the pilot shield. b Pilot Shield a 1/8” Rear Log Shelf The two tabs slide over the side of the burner pan on both sides. Thermocouple When positioned correctly, the rear log shelf has a parallel 3/8” gap to the burner pan. Check rear log shelf alignment: Rear Log Shelf Burner Pan Assembly How to Check the Log Shelf and Pilot Shield Log Shelf & Pilot Shield Alignment Position the shelf so the back edges of the shelf and burner pan are flush. Log Shelf & Pilot Shield Alignment How to Fix Pilot Shield Alignment: Older Models (Built Before January 1999) Older models used round holes with rivets. To realign the pilot shield on these models, follow the directions below. a Note how far, and to which direction, the pilot shield is out of alignment. b Remove the log shelf and drill out these two rivets to remove the pilot shield. c Make new holes (or enlarge the existing holes) to accommodate the incorrect alignment. Then reattach the pilot shield with two screws or rivets. Newer Models (Built After January 1999 Newer models utilize a shield with oblong holes and are fastened with screws, allowing adjustment at the factory. If the pilot shield requires adjustment, simply loosen the two screws and move the pilot shield to the left or right to achieve the correct position. To adjust the pilot shield, loosen these screws and move the pilot shield to the correct position. Re-tighten the screws. Copyright ' 4/20/2006 10 Travis Industries, Inc. Pilot Mounting Bracket Check In an effort to fully diagnose any problem that may lead to the pilot flame going out, we recommend checking the pilot assembly bracket on the models listed below. This bracket was originally made with an inadequate mounting hole for the pilot assembly (it has since been fixed). This caused one of the screws on the quick-change pilot assembly to interfere with the bracket, creating a small warp on the pilot assembly. The warp may tilt the pilot flame away from the thermocouple, causing the pilot to go out intermittently. It does not create a safety hazard. Models Affected: - Avalon 700 B-Vent with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with serial # 70390) - Avalon 700 DV with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with serial # 52263) - Avanti DV with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with serial # 34538) - Lopi Spirit B-Vent with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting serial # 6933) - Lopi Spirit Insert with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with serial # 27137) - Lopi Heritage Bay Insert with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with ¥ serial # 111622) - Travis DVS Inserts with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with serial # 88892) - Travis DVS Fireplaces with Quick-Change Pilot Assemblies (starting with serial # 103887) Copyright ' 4/20/2006 11 Travis Industries, Inc. Pilot Mounting Bracket Check How to Check for This: Check the front edge of the pilot assembly to see if it is warped upwards. You may notice a slight gap between the pilot assembly gasket and the pilot mounting bracket. Pilot Assembly Pilot Assembly Gasket Pilot Mounting Bracket How to Fix this Problem: The end of this screw may interfere with the pilot mounting bracket. To fix this problem, use a file or drill to remove a small amount of the bracket at this location (be careful not to damage the pilot tube or wires) 3/4” Copyright ' 4/20/2006 1/4" Nutdriver 1/8” 12 Travis Industries, Inc.
