SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: If you turn off the power supply, turn off the gas. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

This unit will operate with a minimum of maintenance. To ensure long life and satisfactory performance, a heater that is operated under nor- mal conditions should be inspected and cleaned at the start of each heating season. If the heater is operating in an area where an unusual amount of dust or soot or other impurities are present in the air, more frequent maintenance is recommended.

visible. Do the following:

(a)Disconnect the pilot tubing from the pilot burner.

(b)Disconnect the flame sensing wire and high tension (spark) lead from the ignition control- ler.

The following procedures should be carried out at least annually (See Paragraphs 32-41 for specific instructions.):

1.Clean all dirt and grease from the primary and secondary combus- tion air openings.

2.Fan Models - Clean the fan blade, fan guard, and motor.

3.Blower Models - Clean the blower, the belt guard, the inlet guard, and motor of all dirt and grease. Check the blower belt for tension and wear. Replace a worn belt that may fail before the next sched- uled maintenance check.

4.Clean the heat exchanger both internally and externally.

5.Check the pilot burner and main burners for scale, dust, or lint ac- cumulation. Clean as needed.

6.Check the vent system for soundness. Replace any parts that do not appear sound.

7.Check the wiring for any damaged wire. Replace damaged wiring. (See Paragraph 11 for replacement wiring requirements.)

NOTE: Use only factory-authorized replacement parts.

32. Burner Rack Removal

These unit heaters have a convenient bottom access panel. The pilot is attainable with the bottom panel open. With the access panel removed, the burner rack assembly will hinge down for removal. Use the follow- ing step-by-step instructions for removal of the bottom access panel and the complete burner rack assembly.

Instructions for Burner Rack Removal (See Figures 21-24.)

1.Shut the gas supply off ahead of the combination valve.

2.Turn off electric supply.

3.Remove the two sheet metal screws located at the rear of the bot- tom panel.

4.Allow bottom panel to hinge

down from the front.

5. Push in one of the two spring- loaded hinge pins located at the front of the bot- tom panel (in- side), and com- pletely remove

the bottom panel.

7A. Heaters manufactured beginning 8/91 (Serial No. Date Code AQH) - The burner rack is indexed as illustrated in Figure 23. While supporting the burner rack, remove the screws (two or three) that hold the burner rack support. (For screw location, refer to Figure 23.) Remove the burner rack support allowing the burner rack as- sembly to swing down (See Figure 24).

7B. Heaters manufactured prior to 8/91 (Serial No. Date Code AQH) Loosen the sheet metal screws (two or three) located at the front of the burner rack assembly. See Figures 23. These screws retain the burner rack support. While supporting the burner rack assembly, slide the burner rack support and remove it from the screws, allow- ing the burner rack assembly to swing down (See Figure 24).

8.To Remove the Burner Rack -- With the burner rack assembly "hanging" down, lift up on the rear and slide the assembly up and out of the manifold support brackets.
