6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is required to keep your heater operating reliably and efficiently. For
best results, purchase an annual maintenance kit (PN 75000208), which includes a nozzle,
all gaskets and o-rings, as well as an air compressor filter. A burner maintenance brush kit
(PN 75000071) is the best tool to use for cleaning the burner. A cleaning tool (PN 74000459),
a vacuum and/or 6-inch flue brush can be used to remove ash from the heat exchanger.
6.1 Safety Warnings – Lockout/Tagout
There are many potential hazards associated with working on this equipment, including
electricity, heat, heights, dust and chemicals.
Make sure the main electrical circuit is off and locked out / tagged out prior to
performing maintenance.
Wear proper safety equipment for the tasks, including a HEPA quality dust mask
to avoid inhalation of ash dust when cleaning the heat exchanger or flue. Use suitable access
aids/equipment when working on the heater. Do not climb on the heater. General safety rules
and precautions should be followed at all times to prevent any accidents that could lead to
personal injury or property damage. Only those qualified should perform these tasks.
6.2 Monitoring System Performance over Time
Lanair recommends that you monitor and record your system gauge readings regularly over
time, in order to diagnose issues that may arise. For example, if the pump vacuum gauge
initially reads 2 inches Hg, but over time has risen to 10 inches Hg, it is an indication that the
fuel filter is most likely clogged up. Record the system gauge readings on your maintenance
schedule and log provided in Section 8.3 of the Appendix. Have this log handy if you call for
technical support.
