SERVICE / MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING
General Maintenance
The unit and venting system must be checked once a year by a
qualified service technician.
All installation and service of these units must be
performed by a qualified installation and service agency.
Before any service, BE SURE TO TURN OFF GAS AT THE
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE AHEAD OF THE COMBINATION
GAS CONTROL AND TURN OFF ALL ELECTRIC POWER TO
THE HEATER.
1. Service air moving components annually.
a. Check fan for fit on motor shaft and for damage to blades.
2. Keep unit free from dust, dirt, grease, and foreign matter,
paying particular attention to:
a. Combustion air inlets.
b. Burners and burner orifices. Turn off gas ahead of the
combination gas control and shut off electric power to
the heater. Remove the access panel, open the union
on the gas line, and disconnect the igniter and sensor
wires. Remove the screws that attach the burner tray to
the header plate and remove the burner tray and manifold
assembly from the heater. Carefully clean the burners
with a wire brush or other suitable means. Replace any
damaged or deteriorating burners or orifices. Install the
burner assembly back on to the header making certain that
all screws, pipes and electrical connections are tight.
CAUTION: Be careful when handling the igniter and flame
sensor.
3. Inspect the flame sensor and igniter for deterioration and/or
cracks.
4. Verify that the burners are touching each other at the
carryover points. This will ensure flame carryover from burner
to burner.
a. Clean exterior of heat exchanger tubes.
b. Fan blades.
5. Check wiring for possible loose connections.
6. Controls – The gas valves and piping should be checked
annually for general cleanliness and tightness. The gas
controls should be checked to insure that the unit is operating
properly. See control instruction sheets furnished separately
with the unit heater.
7. Power exhaust assembly/motor – The power exhaust motor
bearings have been lubricated for long life and do not
require additional lubrication. In dirty environments, it may be
desirable to clean the motors and blower housing and blow
out the cooling air passages of the motor with compressed air.
8. Perform periodic cleaning of inlet and vent terminal screens.
