Service Instructions
1. Close the fuel supply valve to the heater before
servicing unless it is necessary to have it open for
your service procedure.
2. For reassembly, reverse the respective ser vice
procedure. Ensure gas connections are tightened
securely.
3. After servicing, start the heater to ensure proper
operation and check for gas leaks.
4. Clean the heater’s orifices with compressed air or a
soft, dry rag. Do not use files, drills, broaches, etc. to
clean the orifice holes. Doing so will enlarge the hole,
causing combustion or ignition problems. Replace
the orifice if it cannot be cleaned properly.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
■
Heater surfaces are extrememly hot for a period of
time after the heater has been shut down.
■
Allow the heater to cool before performing service,
maintenance, or cleaning.
■
Failure to follow this warning will result in burns
causing injury.
GENERAL
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■
Do not disassemble or attempt to repair any heater
components or gas train components.
■
All component parts must be replaced if defects are
found.
■
Failure to follow this warning will result in fire or
explosions, causing property damage, injury, or death.
1. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually
for leaks or restrictions in gas lines. Also, at this time
have your gas supplier clean out the sediment trap on
the zone control panel of any debris that may have
accumulated.
2. The heater’s surrounding area shall be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
3. Regulators can wear out and function improperly.
Have your gas supplier check the date codes on all
regulators installed and check delivery pressures to
the appliance to make sure that the regulator is
suitable for continued use.
4. Regulators must be periodically inspected to make
sure the regulator vents are not blocked. Debris,
insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator can
block vents and cause excess pressure at the
appliance.
5. For safety as well as for optimum performance at the
heater, it is necessary to keep the inside and the
outside of the heater free of dust, dir t or any
combustible material. If any operational component
s h ow s s i g n s o f r u s t o r c o r ro s i o n , r e p l a c e t h e
component immediately.
6. If any warning or instruction labels, dataplates, etc.
b e c o m e l o s t o r h a rd to r e a d , r e p l a c e t h e m
immediately. Do not operate the heater until you have
all instructions and can read and understand them.
7. Check overall condition of heater for cracked or
damaged components, loose screws or bolts, etc.
Replace any suspect components.
8. Check all hose and tubing assemblies for cracks,
abrasions or ruptures. Replace any that are suspect.
9. Periodically check the three burner nuts for tightness.
Loose nuts prevent a gastight seat where the burner
plate and gasket are assembled to the heater. Poor
combustion and operation will occur.’’
If it becomes apparent that a dark spot has formed
part way up on the inner combustion cone or a build
up of debris is occurring in the bottom of the inner
cone, it will be necessary to clean out the combustion
cone assembly. Refer to “Cleaning Instructions”.
