a. Before each use give the heater a general cleaning
using compressed air or a soft brush or dry rag on
its case and internal components. At this time, dust
off the motor case to prevent the motor from over-
heating.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough
cleaning. At this time, remove the fan and motor as-
sembly and brush or blow off the fan blade assembly.
Additionally, make sure the burner air inlet is free of
dust accumulation.
WARNING
Fire, Burn, and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use a pressure washer, water, or
liquid cleaning solution on any gas controls.
Use of a pressure washer, water, or liquid
cleaning solution on the control components
can cause severe personal injury or property
damage due to water and/or liquids:
■ In electrical components and wires causing
electrical shock or equipment failure.
■ On gas control valves causing corrosion
which can result in gas leaks and fi re or
explosion from the leak.
Clean all components of the heater with pressurized air,
a dry brush, or a dry cloth.
Maintenance Instructions
BEFORE EACH USE:
■ Check the area surrounding the heater to ensure it is
clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
■ At the installation, ensure the fl ow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
■ Have your gas supplier check all gas connections for
leaks or restrictions in gas lines.
■ Inspect the regulator vent to make sure the regulator
vent is not blocked. Debris, insects, insect nests,
snow, or ice on a regulator can block vents and cause
excess pressure at the heater.
■ Check all wiring associated terminals and electrical
components within the heater for corrosion, frayed or
cut insulation, tight connections, etc. Repair or replace
as necessary.
■ Review all heater markings (i.e. wiring diagram, warn-
ings, start-up, shut-down, troubleshooting, etc.) at
the time of maintenance for legibility. Make sure none
are cut, torn, or otherwise damaged. Any damaged
markings must be replaced immediately by contacting

■ Check the main fan drive belt. Make sure the belt
is not cracked. If so, replace it. Additionally, ensure
the belt is not slipping, belt tension is proper and
pulleys are properly aligned and not worn.
■ Check air gate adjustment.
ANNUALLY
■ Clean and check the igniter and fl ame sensor for
cracks.
■ Test the high limit heat switches to ensure proper
function. (See instructions for same in the Servic-
ing section of this manual)

Have your gas supplier check the date codes on all
regulators installed and check delivery pressures
to the heater to make sure that the regulator is
reliable.
