4.0 Maintenance
WARNING!
4.0 Maintenance
Before each use:
• Check the gas supply line and hose assembly for any possible gas leaks or damage.
• Check heater elements for debris. Visually check burner flames.
• Keep the heated area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and flammable vapours and
liquids. Ensure there is no obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation.
Periodic maintenance:
• Clean the heater with cleaning agent suitable for the unit’s construction material (i.e. stainless steel
cleaner).
• Lubricate moving parts.
• Inspect the gas supply piping system for any signs of corrosion or failure. Replace if necessary.
Before conducting maintenance on the heater disconnect the power and gas supply. When pressure testing
the gas supply piping system, follow these guidelines:
• At a test pressure in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) the heater and ball shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system.
• At a test pressure equal or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) the heater must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing it’s individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system.
Cleaning the main burner:
Gently use an air hose to blow any accumulated dust and/or dirt off the heater.
Air hose pressure should
not exceed 30 psig.
Gently, pass an air hose over entire exposed area of the ceramic.
A distance of 2’ to 4’ from unit is
recommended.
Gently place the air hose outlet into the venturi tube and allow the air to flow for approximately one minute.
During long periods of non-usage, remove or cover heater with a polyethylene bag and shut off gas supply. If
further service to the heater is desired, contact your representative or the factory.
NOTICE
Cleaning the heater elements with high pressure air may cause damage to the elements and equipment failure.
Do not blow out heating elements with high pressure air.
