1. The area surrounding the heater shall be kept clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually
for leaks or restrictions in gas lines.
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 heater to make sure that the regulator is reliable.
5. Review all heater markings (warnings, start-up, shut-
down, 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.
