Cleaning Suction Line Strainer
The suction line strainer should be cleaned
every 30 days of operation. The element is
a washable metal element. If your waste oil
is extremely dirty, this strainer may need to
be cleaned more frequently. Your vacuum
gauge will help you determine when the
filter needs cleaning. The vacuum gauge
reading should not exceed 5" HG of
vacuum. If it does, the strainer needs
cleaning.
1. Disconnect power to the heater.
2. While holding the lower housing,
unscrew the center bolt on the top of
the suction line strainer.
3. Rinse the filter and lower housing in
solvent.
4. Air dry the strainer and lower housing.
5. Re-assemble the strainer, ensuring the
rubber gaskets, spring and o-rings are
in place.
6. Fill the lower housing with waste oil or
fuel oil.
7. Position the lower housing to the top
making sure the o-ring is properly seat-
ed. Secure the top and bottom togeth-
er using the bolt, washer and gasket
removed earlier.
8. Prime the fuel pump (see page 25).
