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 on
the zone control panel of any debris that may have
accumulated.
2.
The heater’s surrounding area shall be kept clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
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
suitable for continued use.
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.
5.
For safety as well as for optimum performance at the
heater, it is necessary to keep the outside of the
heater free of dust, dirt or any combustible material.
If any operational component shows signs of rust or
corrosion, replace the component immediately.
6.
If any warning or instruction labels, dataplates, etc.
b e c o m e l o s t o r h a rd to r e a d , r e p l a c e t h e m
immediately. Do not operate the heater until you
have all instructions and can read and understand
them.
7.
Check overall condition of heater for cracked or
damaged components, loose screws or bolts,nicked
or cut electrical leads, etc. Replace any suspect
components.
8.
Check all hose and tubing assemblies for cracks,
abrasions or ruptures. Replace any hoses that are
suspect.
9.
Ensure relfector supports and hangers are secure,
reflectors do not sag, and are properly located.
10.
Check all gasketing on burner box and fan housing
discharge. Ensure all is in good condition. Replace
any gasket material if suspect.
11.
At least once a year, check the air inlet assembly.
Ensure the air inlet assembly and its duct are free of
blockages.
Maintenance Instructions
Service Instructions
1.
Close the fuel supply valve to the heater and
disconnect the heater’s electrical supply before
servicing unless it is necessary to have the valve
open and electrical supply connected for your service
procedure.
2. O p e n t h e b u r n e r b ox fo r a c c e s s to c o n t ro l
components. Close and latch after servicing.
3. For reassembly, reverse the respective ser vice
procedure. Ensure gas connections are tightened
securely.
4. Clean the heater’s burner orifice and pressure switch
orifices with compressed air or a soft, dry rag. Do not
use files, drills, broaches, etc. to clean the orifice
hole. Doing so will enlarge the hole, causing ignition
or combustion problems. Replace the orifice if it
cannot be cleaned properly.
5. Disconnect appropriate component electrical leads
when servicing.
5. After servicing, light the heater to ensure proper
operation and check for gas leaks.
