Maintenance
CAUTION
•
Always follow all Caution and General Safety rules before / during use.
•
Before performing ANY service to the heater, shut off the gas supply, disconnect the
regulator from the Propane-Gas Cylinder and remove the battery from the ignitor module.
•
If any maintenance issues are found place the heater OUT OF SERVICE until it has been
repaired by a certified service person. Use only manufacturer recommended replacement
parts.
Daily Inspections:
1. Keep the heater area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
2. The visible portion of the Gas Hose must be visually inspected before each use. If there is evidence of excessive
abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged the hose assembly must be replaced prior to the heater being put
into operation.
3. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris and cobwebs.
4. Visually check the Burner flame pattern during use. A “Proper Flame” should resemble image on Figure 16.
5. If at any time flames extend beyond the emitter surface (see image in Figure 17 “Improper Flame”) or black soot
is found on the inside of the reflector TURN OFF the heater immediately and place OUT OF SERVICE until
repairs are made.
6. Clean the heater if necessary with non-combustible and non-corrosive cleaning agents. Ensure control
compartment (ignition module), burners & circulating air passageways are kept clean of dust, insects, cobwebs
and other debris

a. Ensure burner is cool to touch and supported while disassembling.
b. Disassemble the Burner from the Pole by removing the three (3) screws in the Pole Neck.
c. Remove the Gas Hose Assembly from the Pole to inspect and Leak Test the entire hose and all
connections. Repair / replace as required.
2. Check condition of the Burner, especially the integrity of the flame screen.
3. Inspect condition of spark and sense electrode. Check for cracks in ceramic insulators or excessive corrosion.
4. Inspect condition of high-tension lead to spark rod.
