This switch also prevents operation when the propane tank

level is low which can result in gas with a high

concentration of impurities, additives, and residues that

have settled to the bottom of the tank. Operation under

these conditions can cause harm to the heat exchanger

system. Contact your fuel supplier if this condition is

suspected.

Flue Gas Passageways

To inspect the flue collector box and upper areas of the

heat exchanger:

1. Remove the combustion blower wheel and motor as-

sembly according to directions in Combustion--Air

Blower section. See Fig. 31.

2. Remove the flue cover to inspect the heat exchanger.
3. Clean all surfaces as required using a wire brush.

Combustion--Air Blower

efficiency. Inspect blower wheel every fall and

periodically during heating season. For the first heating

season, inspect blower wheel bi--monthly to determine

proper cleaning frequency.
