■
This heater is equipped with a manual reset high limit
switch. Its purpose is to disconnect the electrical
supply to the ignition control board in the event of an
overheat condition.
■
An overheat condition is normally caused by:
-- Excessive fuel gas pressure.
-- Heater not being routinely cleaned.
-- Heater not properly hung. (See page 8.)
The high limit switch should be tested a minimum of once
a year or anytime the heater is taken down for servicing.
Refer to the following testing instructions.
1. Remove the high limit switch from the control box.
2. Apply a small flame only to the sensing portion on the
back of the switch. BBee ccaarreeffuull nnoott ttoo m
