Service Instructions

1.

Close the fuel supply valve to the heater before
servicing unless it is necessary to have it open for
your service procedure.

2. For reassembly, reverse the respective ser vice

procedure. Ensure gas connections are tightened
securely.

3. After servicing, start the heater to ensure proper

operation and check for gas leaks.
