7. Protecting the environment
Before leaving the factory, the heaters are tuned to keep the emission of harmful substances to a
minimum.
Nevertheless, the combustion system will not function optimally if, for instance
-
there is a shortage of oxygen
-
the wrong fuel is used
-
there is a leak in the oil supply system
-
water gets into the oil tank (this can also damage the oil pump) or
-
dirt gets into the oil supply system.
Poor combustion can be harmful not only to the environment, but also to your crops, or to the room or
space in which the heater is being used.
Therefore, have your heater checked regularly to see that the combustion system is in good working
order. Also, follow the safety and installation instructions closely. Service the heater at least once a year.
Your oil storage arrangements must meet the relevant environmental standards. In other words, the tank
must be contained within a spillage sump, the capacity of which must be at least the same as the
capacity of the tank. The sump must also be protected from the rain.
Regularly check the heater and the fuel hoses for leaks.
If you have reason to disconnect a heater (say, to move it or replace it), make sure to catch the oil that
runs out of the fuel lines and filter and dispose of it in an environmentally responsible manner.
