CAUTION
■
Disinfectants utilized in agricultural animal
confinement buildings may contain chemicals
damaging to components of the heater.
■
Protect the pilot gas control valve, pressure valve, and
pilot light regulator of the heater by wrapping these
components with a plastic bag before disinfecting.
■
Always make sure to remove the plastic bag or other
protective covering before start up.
Cleaning Instructions
AIR NOZZLE
WATER HOSE
It is important to clean the heater on a regular basis to
maintain proper combustion and to eliminate future
problems.
The frequency of cleaning will vary depending upon
livestock being raised and overall ventilation of the building.
For cleaning of the pilot and burner orifice refer to “Service
Instructions”.
CLEANING WITH BACKPACK BLOWERS
AND HEATER BLOWER
Blower Part No. 130-21170
For general cleaning when the heaters do not have heavy
accumulations of dust or dirt, use either a backpack type of
blower or the heater blower.
Follow the same procedures for cleaning as listed for
“Cleaning with Compressed Air”.
If the dust and dirt cannot be removed effectively using the
backpack blower or heater blower, then clean the heater
using either the “Compressed Air” or “Water Cleaning”
methods.
CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR
1. Turn off the gas supply to the heater and let the
heater cool down until you can no longer feel heat
coming from the heater canopy or combustion cones.
2. Using a soft bristle brush, brush off all exterior
surfaces of the heater. Pay particular attention to the
air inlet hole on the injector body.
3. Turn on the compressed air and point the nozzle
directly at the combustion cones, working your way
around entire surface of cone assembly. This
procedure may take about a minute or slightly longer
depending on amount of dust or dirt on combustion
cones.
4. Shoot compressed air through air inlet opening in the
venturi tube to blow back out any loosened dust
through combustion cones.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the cones and the venturi
tube are no longer emitting dust.
6. Visually inspect the cones and venturi tube to make
sure these areas are clean.
7. Return the heater to its normal hanging position.
8. Relight the heater.

1. Turn off the gas supply to the heater and let it cool
down completely.
2. Wrap the pressure switch, gas regulator (pilot units
only) and pilot safety control valve with a plastic bag
to protect these components from entry of water.
3. Using a standard garden hose with standard faucet
pressure, spray water against the cones for about 30
seconds to wash out the build up of dust in the cones
and the venturi tube. Make sure to work your way
around the entire cone assembly. See Fig. 7.
