17. Any defects found in performing any of the service
procedures must be eliminated and defective parts
replaced immediately. Retest the heater before
placing it back into service.
19. Do not exceed input rating stamped on the
dataplate of the heater. Do not exceed the burner
manifold pressure stated on the dataplate. Do
not use an orifice size different than specified for
the specific input rating of this heater, fuel type
configuration and altitude.
Initial Setup
1. Plan the installation. Determine location for the heater
to optimize its heat pattern, keeping in mind cooler
regions in the house (end walls, and curtains) and
clearances to combustibles.
2. Hang the burner box, see Fig. 5. Models ST100/
ST125 install eye bolts before hanging, see Fig. 5a.
Maintain clearances to combustibles as shown in
Fig. 1.
3. From the burner box chain, measure the distances
shown in Fig. 6 or 7. Aligning to the center
of the burner box discharge, hang chains at
these points, using open eye hooks.
