1. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually
for leaks or restrictions in gas lines. Also, at this time
have your gas supplier clean out the sediment trap on
the zone control panel of any debris that may have
accumulated.
2. The heater’s surrounding area shall be kept clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
3. Regulators can wear out and function improperly.
Have your gas supplier check the date codes on all
regulators installed and check delivery pressures to
the appliance to make sure that the regulator is
suitable for continued use.
4. Regulators must be periodically inspected to make
sure the regulator vents are not blocked. Debris,
insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator can
block vents and cause excess pressure at the
appliance.
5. For safety as well as for optimum performance at the
heater, it is necessary to keep the outside of the
heater free of dust, dirt or any combustible material.
If any operational component shows signs of rust or
corrosion, replace the component immediately.
6. If any warning or instruction labels, dataplates, etc.
b e c o m e l o s t o r h a rd to r e a d , r e p l a c e t h e m
