for leaks or restrictions in gas lines. Also, at this time

have your gas supplier clean out the sediment trap of

any debris that may have accumulated.

3. 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.

4. 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

reliable.

5. Check all wiring associated terminals and electrical

components within the heater for corrosion, frayed or

cut insulation, tight connections, etc. Repair or

replace as necessary.

6. Review all heater markings (i.e. wiring diagrams,

warnings, start-up, shut-down, troubleshooting, etc.)

at the time of maintenance for legibility. Make sure

none are cut, torn, or otherwise damaged. Any

damaged markings must be replaced immediately by

contacting the L.B. White Co., Inc. Dataplates, start-

up and shut-down instructions and warnings are

available at no cost. A nominal charge will be applied

for wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting markings.
