Maintenance
Maintenance - Fall
Start-Up
Repeat the Blower Start-Up procedure #5 and Direct Gas Start-Up procedure #1 and 3. This will ensure that the
gas and air are set properly before the heating season begins, and should lead to trouble free operation all
winter.
High Limit
The high limit switch may have tripped over the summer, it should be checked and reset if necessary.
Burner
Inspect the burner for accumulation of scales on both the upstream and downstream sides of the mixing plates.
Any scaling or foreign material should be removed with a wire brush.
Visually check that all holes in the mixing plates are
clear. If any burner ports are plugged (even partially),
clear them with a piece of wire or another appropriate
tool.
Replace or tighten any loose or missing fasteners on the mixing plates. Always use zinc plated or stainless steel
fasteners.
Inspect and clean the flame and spark rod. Occasional
replacement of the flame rod and spark rod may be
necessary to ensure optimum unit performance.
Evaporative Coolers
The water should be shut off and all the lines drained when the outside temperature drops below 45°F.
Remove drain plugs for the winter.
Clean all interior parts of any mineral deposits or foreign materials that may have built-up during the cooling
season.
Replace any worn or non-functioning parts.
WARNING!
Do not enlarge burner ports when clearing a
blockage, performance could be affected.
NOTE!
Flame rods can last many years, but because of
thermal expansion of the porcelain, flame rods
can fail over time.
