Maintenance

Always service heater in a clean, flat, dry area. Never service
heater while it is plugged in or while hot!
Never service heater in wet conditions. In an emergency, be
sure heater has completely cooled before servicing using a
tarp or weatherproof cover, to ensure heater or electronics
inside heater are not exposed to wet conditions. Do not
C to 45
°
service heater while plugged in under any circumstance.
FUEL/FUEL TANK: Flush every 200 hours of operation or as needed
with paraffin.
AIR FILTERS: Open heater lid to access filters. Filters should be
replaced every 500 hours of operation, or less, depending on conditions.
See figure 7.1 on page 18 for detailed view.
FAN BLADES: Open heater lid to access fan blades. Blades should be
cleaned at least once per heating season. See figure 6.1 on page 48 for
detailed view.
NOZZLES: Open heater lid and remove burner head to access nozzle.
Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least once per heating season.
See figure 3.1 on page 48 for detailed view.
SPARK PLUG: Open heater lid to access spark plug. Clean and re-gap
every 600 hours of operation, or replace as needed.
Re-gap the terminals to 3.5mm. See figure 3.1 on page 48 for detailed
view.
PHOTOCELL: Open heater lid to access photocell. The Photocell should
be cleaned at least once per heating season or more depending on
conditions. See figures 4.1 and 5.1 on page 48 for detailed view.
After servicing your heater you should perform the following
function check before commissioning this heater:
- check the air and fuel lines for leaks using a 50/50 soap
solution
- check extension cord for wear, cracks or cuts
- check to see igniter lines are connected securely to spark plug
THERMISTOR PLACEMENT: Ensure the thermistor wire is in the proper
place. The wire should be lying on the bottom shell inside the heater with
plastic end placed under the motor support/motor and away from fan
blade.
ROTOR: The rotor with carbon vanes should be evaluated every heating
season. The rotor is behind the air filters. The vanes should be inspected
for damage or wear. The rotor should be inspected for damage, chips,
wear, cracks.
Check rotor gap: Remove the rear cover. Loosen the two pump ring
screws. Lift the pump ring upwards. Insert a 0.1 mm feeler gauge
and apply slight downward pressure, enough to offer resistance when
attempting to remove gauge. Hand-tighten the two pump ring screws.
Re-install the End Pump Cover and the plastic End Filter Cover. Start the
heater and adjust to the proper pump pressure.
Improper maintenance can lead to poor combustion and soot
production. Never alter or modify the heater. Use only genuine
parts from the manufacturer or sales agent for repair and
maintenance on your heater, and contact the manufacturer or
sales agent before replacing parts other than those specified or
recommended.
PUMP PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT:
While heater is operating, turn relief valve clockwise to increase,
counterclockwise to decrease. Use flat blade screwdriver to turn valve.
