Shut-Down Instructions
Do not shut the heater off via the selector switch. Doing so
will remove power to the heater, preventing cooling of the
heat chambers. One or both high limit switches may trip.
If the heater is to be shut down for maintenance or repair,
follow steps 1-4. Otherwise, set the thermostat(s) below
room temperature for standard shutdown. DO NOT
disconnect power to the heater until the post purge cycle
has completed.
1. Close all gas supply valve to the heater.
2. Allow the heater to burn off any fuel remaining in the gas
supply line.
3. Once the heater has stop, position the selector switch to
OFF (O).
4. Disconnect the heater from its gas and electrical
supplies.
Cleaning Instructions
WARNING
Fire, Burn and Explosion Hazard
■ This heater contains electrical and mechanical
components in the gas management, safety and
airflow systems.
■ Such components may become inoperative or
fail due to dust, dirt, wear, aging, or the corrosive
atmosphere of an animal confinement building.
■ Periodic cleaning and inspection as well as proper
maintenance are essential to avoid serious injury
or property damage.
1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and
disconnect the electrical supply
2. The heater should have dirt or dust removed periodically:
a. Before each use give the heater a general cleaning using
compressed air or a soft brush or dry rag on its case and
internal components. At this time, dust off the motor case
to prevent the motor from over-heating.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough cleaning.
At this time, remove the fan and motor assembly and
brush or blow off the fan blade assembly. Additionally,
make sure the burner air inlet venturi ports and the
casting are free of dust accumulation.

WARNING
Do not use a pressure washer, water, or liquid
cleaning solution on any gas controls. Use of a
pressure washer, water, or liquid cleaning solution on
the control components can cause severe personal
injury or property damage due to water and/or liquids:
■ In electrical components, and wires causing
electrical shock or equipment failure.
■ On gas control valves causing corrosion which can
result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from the
leak.
Clean all components of the heater with pressurized
air, a dry brush, or a dry cloth.
Maintenance Instructions
BEFORE EACH USE:
• Check the area surrounding the heater to ensure it is
clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Have your gas supplier check all gas connections for
leaks or restrictions in gas lines.
• Inspect the regulator vent to make sure the regulator
vent is not blocked. Debris, insects, insect nests,
snow, or ice on a regulator can block vents and cause
excess pressure at the heater.
• Check all wiring associated terminals and electrical
components within the heater for corrosion, frayed
or cut insulation, tight connections, etc. Repair or
replace as necessary.
• Check the hose assembly after heater installation,
relocation and when the heater is in use. If it is
evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or if the
hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater
being put back into operation.
• The heater's fan drive belt should be checked
periodically for tension after running at full load.
Retensioning the belt may be necessary to remove
any belt stretching. Belt tension should be checked
periodically thereafter and adjusted when necessary.
• Periodically check the belt for cracked or damages.
If so, replace it. Additionally, ensure the sheaves are
properly aligned and not worn.
