1. The area surrounding the heater shall be kept clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually
for leaks or restrictions in gas lines.
3. Regulators must be periodically inspected to make
sure the regulator vents are not blocked. Debris,
insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator can
block vents and cause excess pressure at the
appliance.
4. Regulators can wear out and function improperly.
Have your gas supplier check the date codes on all
regulators installed and check delivery pressures to
the appliance to make sure that the regulator is
reliable.
5. Check all wiring associated terminals and electrical
components within the heater for corrosion, frayed or
cut insulation, tight connections, etc. Repair or
replace as necessary.
6. Review all heater markings (i.e. warnings, start-up,
shut-down, etc.) at the time of maintenance for
legibility. Make sure none are cut, torn, or otherwise
damaged. Any damaged markings must be replaced
immediately by contacting the L.B. White Co., Inc.
Dataplates, start-up and shut-down instructions and
warnings are available at no cost. A nominal charge
will be applied for wiring diagrams.
7. The motor should be oiled prior to the heating
season. Remove the oil port plugs and place several
drops of SAE 20 non-detergent oil in each port.
1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and
disconnect electrical supply.
2. The heater should have dirt or dust removed
periodically:
a. Before each use give the heater a general
cleaning using compressed air or a soft brush or
dry rag on its case and internal components. At
this time, dust off the motor case to prevent the
motor from over-heating.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough
cleaning. At this time, remove the fan and motor
assembly and brush or blow off the fan blade
assembly. Additionally, make sure the burner
casting is free of dust accumulation.

Do not use a pressure washer, water, or liquid cleaning
solution on any gas controls. Use of a pressure washer,
water, or liquid cleaning solution on the control
components can cause severe personal injury or
property damage due to water and/or liquids:
* In electrical components, and wires causing
electrical shock or equipment failure.
* On gas control valves causing corrosion which
can result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from the
leak.
Clean all components of the heater with pressurized air, a
dry brush or a dry cloth.
