3C. Lighting and Shutdown
3C-1. Lighting the Heater
Lighting and shutdown instructions are listed on
the label attached to the inside of the service door and
also on the inside of the control compartment door.
Lighting instructions are as follows:
1. Turn off all electrical power to the heater at the
main junction box.
2. Open the control compartment door and turn the
gas valve to OFF.
3. Turn the rotary switch on the temperature control
panel to OFF.
4. Wait 5 minutes before trying to start the heater.
5. Turn the gas valve control knob counterclockwise
to ON (see Figure 27).
6. Replace the control compartment door.
7. Turn on electrical power to the heater.
8. Turn on the fi lter pump.
9. Turn the rotary switch to either SPA or POOL.
Set the temperature control to the desired setting.
The ignition control automatically lights the
burner when the thermostat calls for heat.
10. Set the time clock, if one is installed.
3C-2. Shutdown
Complete shutdown instructions are as follows:
1. Set both temperature controls to the lowest
setting.
2. Turn the rotary switch on the control panel to
OFF.
3. Turn off all electrical power to the heater at the
main junction box.
4. Open the control compartment door and turn the
gas valve knob clockwise to OFF.
5. Turn external gas valve off.
the end of this operation before starting the heater.
Do not operate the heater unless the pool is properly
fi lled with water.
When raising the temperature of water in a
cold pool, remove all time clock settings. This lets
the fi lter system and heater operate continuously
until the water reaches the temperature setting on the
thermostat. When that happens, the heater will shut off
automatically, but the fi lter pump will keep running.
Caution
Keep all objects off the top of the heater, and do not
obstruct louvre openings in heater sides. Blocking
ventilation air fl ow may damage the heater and void
the warranty.
3B. Temperature Controls
The Hi-E
2
heater has a dual temperature control
which allows either of two different temperature
settings to be selected with the rotary switch on the
control panel. The owner can set one control for
normal use and the other for standby, or one might be
set for a pool and the other for a spa. Setting the rotary
switch to the middle position turns the heater off (see
Figure 26).
The temperature controls on the Hi-E2
cover a range from approximately 70°F (21°C) to
approximately 104°F (40°C). Always use an accurate
pool thermometer to test the pool water temperature.
Once the correct position for the control knob is
determined, use the TEMP-LOK to keep it from going
any higher by positioning the tab next to the knob and
then tightening the screw. Note that the heater should
not be used to maintain pool or spa temperature below
70°F.
IMPORTANT
: The temperature controls cannot
be calibrated in the fi eld. If the temperature control
does not work, shut down the heater and replace the
temperature control. DO NOT use the temperature
control to shut the heater off. Remove the access door
and turn the main gas valve to OFF.
