Service Instructions
1.
Close the fuel supply valve to the heater and
disconnect the electrical supply before servicing
unless necessary for your service procedure.
2. Remove the heater’s bottom base or side panel for
access to electrical components and connections.
3
Disconnect the appropriate electrical leads for the
component being replaced.
4. Remove the fan guard and motor/fan assembly for
access to upper barrel components.
5. The auto reset backflash, and thermostat can be
tested by disconnecting the leads at the component,
and placing a jumper connecting the leads together.:
-- Reconnect the electrical supply and open fuel
supply valves.
-- If the heater lights, the component is defective
and must be replaced.
-- Do not leave the jumper on or operate the heater if
the part is defective. Replace the part immediately.
-- An alternate method for checking the components
is to perform a continuity check.
6. The air proving switch must not be jumpered. If
jumpered, the ignition control will not allow heater
operation. Test the air proving switch for continuity.
If defective, replace the switch
7. For reassembly, reverse the respective ser vice
procedure. Ensure gas connections are tightened
securely.
8. After servicing, start the heater to ensure proper
operation and check for gas leaks.
9. Clean the heater’s orifice with compressed air or a
soft, dry rag. Do not use files, drills, broaches, etc. to
clean the orifice. Doing so may enlarge the hole,
causing combustion or ignition problems. Replace
the orifice if it cannot be cleaned properly.
