Maintenance

!WARNING

NOTICE

Always wear clothing that protects the body and use protective glasses when maintaining the heater.

Electrical shock or explosion may occur when conducting maintenance while the heater is connected to the power source and gas supply. Disconnect power and gas supply to heater before servicing.

Burner malfunction may result in explosion or fire. Never operate the heater if there are any signs of malfunction, excessive wear or damage. Call a professional for assistance.

Before each use:

•Check the gas supply line and hose assembly for any possible leaks or damage.

•Check heater elements for debris. Visually check burner flames.

•Keep the heated area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and flammable vapors and liquids. Ensure there is no obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation.

Periodic maintenance:

•Clean the heater with cleaning agents suitable for the unit’s construction materials (i.e., stainless steel cleaner).

•Lubricate moving parts.

•Inspect the gas supply piping system for signs of corrosion or failure. Replace if necessary.

Cleaning the heater elements with high pressure air may cause damage to the elements and equipment failure. Do not blow out heating elements with high pressure air.

Before conducting maintenance on the heater disconnect the power and gas supply. When pressure testing the gas supply piping system follow these guidelines:

•At a test pressure in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) the heater and ball shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system.

•At a test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) the heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it’s individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system.

Cleaning the main burner:

1. Gently use an air hose to blow any accumulated dust and/or dirt off the heater. Air hose pressure should not exceed 30 psig.

2. Gently, pass the air hose over the entire exposed area of the ceramic. A distance of 2’ to 4’ from the unit is recommended.

3. Gently place the air hose outlet into the venturi tube and allow the air to flow for approximately one minute.

During long periods of non-usage, remove or cover heater with a polyethylene bag and shut off gas supply. If further service to the heater is desired, contact your representative or the factory.
