Service Instructions

12

The servicing of burner related components such as burner
orifice, pilot orifice, thermocouple, and pilot tubing may be
accomplished by referring to the Burner and Gas Control
Assembly Instructions and illustrations provided within this
manual. The assembly procedures may be reversed for
disassembly and servicing of burner related components.

ATTENTION

When performing any service work, it is necessary to adhere
to the following guidelines:

Always close the fuel supply valves to the heater.

Allow the heater to cool before servicing

Leak check all gas connections after performing service
work. Use approved leak detectors.

Use only a soft brush, dry rag, or compressed air to
clean the burner and pilot orifices.

Do not push instruments into burner or pilot orifice
holes. Doing so may enlarge or distor t the holes
creating improper combustion, pilot outages, or burner
flames extending beyond the heater case.

Ensure the pilot orifice screen is installed prior to orifice
assembly. Its purpose is to trap contamination that
would prevent the pilot orifice from operating properly.

D o n ot u s e p l i e r s to l o o s e n o r t i g h te n h e a te r
components. Doing so may round off the component
creating service problems. Always use the appropriate
wrench.
