Maintenance

• Always keep the heater area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Keep the vent areas (slots in the
bottom and top of the heater) clear at
all times.
IMPORTANT: The heater and its
surroundings should be kept clean and
free of dust.
• Visually inspect the pilot flame and
burner periodically during use. The
pilot flame should be blue in color
(not yellow) and will extend to the
thermocouple. The flame will surround
the thermocouple just below the tip.
See Figure 7.
• A slight yellow flame may occur where
the pilot flame and main burner flame
meet. The burner should be bright
orange (with a slight blue color around
the border, a red-orange haze that
is visible on the burner material is
acceptable) and without a noticeable
flame.
• A blue flame that rolls out at the top
of the burner material indicates an
accumulation of dust, lint or spider
webs inside the housing assembly and
main burner assembly. If the pilot is
yellow or the burner has a noticeable
flame, cleaning may be required.
• It is necessary to periodically check the
burner orifice and burner venturi to
make sure that they are clear of things
such as insect nests and spider webs
that may accumulate over time. A
clogged tube can lead to a fire.
• Use the following procedure to inspect
the casing assembly and main burner
assembly.

assembly when you are cleaning.
3. Inspect and clean pilot (mounted to

OFFSEASON
• If the heater is to left "OFF" for a
considerable period of time, the
propane (LP) gas supply to the heater
should be turned off as close to the
gas source as possible. In the case
of portable use, the gas should be
turned off at the propane (LP) gas
supply cylinder.
• If the heater is put into storage, make
sure to disconnect the propane (LP)
gas cylinder.
