That one, on it's face, appears to be easy.
When the T-Stat calls for heat the blower starts.. Ignition is delayed.
When the blower comes up to speed and air flow is great enough a device called a SAIL SWITCH closes, then the control board lights the burner (Ignition happens) I won't go through the entire procedure.
But after two or 3 days of boondocking the batteries are getting a bit.. Run down. and the blower never comes up to speed.. The solution is to run your Generator long enough (During the day of course) to FULLY charge the batteries, This takes, at the minimum, six hours.
