SERVICING
To assure safety, proper function and longevity of the heater, regular maintenance is required. The frequency of maintenance will depend on the usage of the unit. Review the following concern- ing the criteria for a properly functioning heater. Failing to follow proper, regular maintenance will void warranty.
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has been modified or is not functioning properly. When the heater is working properly:
•The flame is contained within the heater.
•The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some yellow tipping.
•There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burn- ing or other physical discomfort.
•There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
•There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs of the heater.
The parts lists and wiring diagram show the heater as it was constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from that shown. In this regard, use only the hose, regulator and cylinder connection fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied with the heater. IMPORTANT: Do not use alternates. For this heater, the regulator must be set as shown in Specifications. If there is any uncertainty about the regulator setting, have it checked.
