1. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually

for leaks or restrictions in gas lines.  Also, at this time

have your gas supplier clean out the sediment trap of

any debris that may have accumulated.  

2. The aappliance aarea sshall bbe kkept cclear aand ffree ffrom

combustible m

materials, ggasoline, aand oother fflammable

vapors aand lliquids.

3. 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.

4. 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.

1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and

disconnect electrical supply.

2. The heater should have dirt or dust removed

periodically:

a. After each flock or between building re-population,

give the heater a general cleaning using

compressed air or a soft brush on its interior and

exterior.  At this time, dust off the motor case to

prevent  the motor from over-heating and shutting

the heater down.

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 wheel,

giving attention to the individual fan blades.

Additionally, make sure the burner air inlet venturi

ports and the “throat” of the casting are free of

dust accumulation and the area between the heat

chamber top and inside case is also free of dust. 

c. When washing with water, observe and obey the

Warning within these Cleaning Instructions.  This

same Warning is also supplied on the heater. 

WARNING

This heater may be washed only on the external case

assembly provided:

A.

The heater is disconnected from the electrical supply.

B. All access panels are securely closed.

C. Water spray nozzle shall not discharge within 6 feet

of the heater.

D. The water pressure does not exceed 45 PSIG for 10

seconds on each side of heater.

E.

The heater is not reconnected to electrical supply for

a minimum of 1 hour or until the heater is thoroughly

dry.

Improper cleaning of the heater can cause severe

personal injury or property damage due to water and/or

cleaning solution:

1. In electrical components, connections and wires

causing electrical shock or component failure.

2. On gas control components causing corrosion which

can result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from the

leak.

Clean internal components of the heater with a soft, dry

brush or cloth, or compressed air.
