12. A qualified service agency must check for proper
operating gas pressures upon installation of the
heaters.
13. Use the proper gas supply line to assure proper
functioning of the heaters. Typically, 3/4 in. ID black
iron pipe is used to supply gas to the inlet of the
zone control panel with 1/2 in. ID black iron pipe
used to convey the gas to the heaters. However,
always consult your fuel gas supplier, or the L. B.
White Co., Inc. for proper line sizing and installation.
14. The heater is designed for either propane vapor
withdrawal or natural gas, depending on model
number. Do not use this heater in an propane liquid
withdrawal system. Do not permit propane in liquid
form to enter the heater at any time.
15. The corrosive atmosphere present in animal
confinement buildings can cause component
failure or heater malfunction. The heater should be
periodically inspected and cleaned in accordance
with the Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions in
this manual. Make sure that livestock is protected
by a back up alarm system that limits high and low
temperatures and also activates appropriate alarms.
16. Take time to understand how to operate and main
-
tain the heater using this Owner’s Manual. Make
sure you know how to shut off the gas supply to the
building and to the individual heaters. Contact your
gas supplier if you have any questions.
17. Any defects found in performing any of the service
procedures must be eliminated and defective parts
replaced immediately. Retest the heater before
placing it back into service.
