It is important to clean the heater on a regular basis to

maintain proper combustion and to eliminate future

problems.

The frequency of cleaning will vary depending upon

livestock being raised and overall ventilation of the building.

CLEANING WITH BACKPACK BLOWERS 

AND HEATER BLOWER

Blower Part No. 130-21170

For general cleaning when the heaters do not have heavy

accumulations of dust or dirt, use either a backpack type of

blower or the heater blower.

Follow the same procedures for cleaning as listed for

“Cleaning with Compressed Air”.

If the dust and dirt cannot be removed effectively using the

backpack blower or heater blower, then clean the heater

using either the “Compressed Air” or “Water Cleaning”

methods.

CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR

1. Turn off the gas supply to the heater and let the

heater cool down until you can no longer feel heat

coming from the heater canopy or combustion cones.

2. Using a soft bristle brush, brush off all exterior

surfaces of the heater.  Pay particular attention to the

air inlet hole on the injector body.

3. Turn on the compressed air and point the nozzle

directly at the combustion cones, working your way

around entire surface of cone assembly.  This

procedure may take about a minute or slightly longer

depending on amount of dust or dirt on combustion

cones.  See Fig. 6.

4. Shoot compressed air through air inlet opening in the

venturi tube to blow back out any loosened dust

through combustion cones.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the cones and the venturi

tube are no longer emitting dust.

6. Visually inspect the cones and venturi tube to make

sure these areas are clean.

7. Return the heater to its normal hanging position.

8. Relight the heater.
