L.B. White AD100 - Manual (Page 7)

1. Do not attempt to install, repair, or service this heater
or the gas supply line unless you have continuing
expert training and knowledge of gas heaters.
Qualifications for service and installation of this
equipment are as follows:
a. To be a qualified gas heater service person, you
must have sufficient training and experience to
handle all aspects of gas-fired heater installation,
service and repair. This includes the task of
installation, troubleshooting, replacement of
defective parts and testing of the heater. You
must be able to place the heater into a continuing
safe and normal operating condition. You must
completely familiarize yourself with each model
heater by reading and complying with the safety
instructions, labels, Owner’s Manual, etc., that is
provided with each heater.
b. To be a qualified gas installation person, you must
have sufficient training and experience to handle
all aspects of installing, repairing and altering gas
lines, including selecting and installing the proper
equipment, and selecting proper pipe and tank
size to be used. This must be done in accordance
with all local, state and national codes as well as
the manufacturer’s requirements.
2. All installations and applications of L.B. White heaters
must meet all relevant local, state and national
codes. Included are L.P. gas, natural gas, electrical,
and safety codes. Your local fuel gas supplier, a local
licensed electrician, the local fire department or
similar government agencies, or your insurance agent
can help you determine code requirements.
a. For U.S.A. installations and applications:
-- ANSI/NFPA 58, latest edition, Standard for
Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gas and/or
-- ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas
Code
-- ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
b. For Canadian Installations and Applications:
-- CAN1-B149.1 or CAN1-B149.2 Installation
Codes
-- C S A C 2 2 .1 P a r t 1 S t a n d a rd C a n a d i a n

3. Do not move, handle, or service heater while in
operation or connected to a power or fuel supply.
4. This heater may be installed in areas subject to
washdown. This heater may only be washed on the
external case assembly—see Cleaning Instructions.
Do not wash the interior of the heater. Use only
compressed air, soft brush or dry cloth to clean the
interior of the heater and it’s components. After
external washdown, do not operate this heater until it
is completely dry. In any event, do not operate the
heater for at least one hour after external washdown.
5. For safety, this heater is equipped with a manual
reset high-limit switch and an air proving switch.
Never operate this heater with any safety device that
has been bypassed. Do not operate this heater
unless all of these features are fully functioning.
6. Do not operate the heater with its door open or panel
removed.
7. Do not locate fuel gas containers or fuel supply
hoses anywhere near the blower outlet of the heater.
8. Do not block air intakes or discharge outlets of the
appliance. Doing so may cause improper combustion
or damage to heater components leading to property
damage or animal loss.
9. The hose assembly (if provided) shall be visually
inspected on an annual basis. If it is evident there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it
must be replaced prior to the heater being put into
operation. The hose assembly shall be protected
from animals, building materials, and contact with
hot surfaces during use. The hose assembly shall be
that specified by the manufacturer. See parts list.
10. Check for gas leaks and proper function upon heater
installation, before building repopulation or when
relocating.
11. This heater should be inspected for proper operation
by a qu a l i f i e d s e r v i c e p e r s o n b e fo r e b u i l d i n g
repopulation and at least annually.
12. Always turn off the gas supply to the appliance if the
appliance is not going to be used in the heating of
livestock.
13. T h i s h e a te r i s e qu i p p e d w i t h a t h r e e - p ro n g
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Failure to use a
properly grounded receptacle can result in electrical
shock, personal injury, or death.
14. Direct ignition heaters will make up to three trials for
ignition. If ignition is not achieved, the control system
will lock out the gas control valve. If gas is smelled
after system lock out has occurred, immediately close
all fuel supply valves. Do not relight until you are sure
that all gas that may have accumulated has cleared
away. In any event, do not relight for at least 5
minutes.
15. In a hanging type installation, rigid pipe or copper
tubing coupled directly to the heater may cause gas
leaks during movement, and therefore must not be
used. Use only gas hose assemblies that are rated
and approved for L.P.gas and natural gas in a hanging
type of installation.
16. Installations not using the gas hose supplied with
this appliance must connect dimensionally using
American National Standard Wrought Steel and
Wrought Iron Pipe B36/10-1970. (Aluminum piping
or tubing shall not be used.) Copper tubing when
used for conveying natural gas, shall be internally
tinned or equivalently treated to resist sulphur.
