Hazard

■

Do not disassemble the gas control valve.

■

Do not attempt to replace any components on the gas

control valve.

■

The gas control valve must be replaced if any physical

damage occurs to the control valve assembly.

■

Failure to follow this warning will result in fire or

explosions, leading to injury or death to humans and

livestock, and building damage.

ATTENTION

■

The following explains a typical procedure to be followed

in checking gas pressures.

■

Consult the dataplate on the heater or page 4 in this

manual for specific pressure to be used in conjunction

with this procedure.

A. Preparation

1. Obtain an L.B. White pressure gauge test kit - Part No.

500-20736.

2. Disconnect the heater from the electrical supply and

close the fuel supply valve to the heater.

3. Brush or blow off any dust and dirt on or in the vicinity

of the gas control valve.

4. Disconnect the gas hose from the heater.

B. Gauge IInstallation

1. Connect the pressure test kit hose to the fitting at the

inlet of the gas control valve.  Tighten securely.  See

Fig. 15.

2. Connect the gas supply hose to the hose fitting on the

test kit.  Tighten securely.  See Fig. 15.

3. Reconnect the heater to its electrical supply.

4. Open the main fuel supply valve to the heater.

5. Open only the gas shut-off on the test kit to which the

main gas supply is connected.

6. Start the heater.

C. Reading PPressures

1. With the heater operating, the pressure gauge should

read the pressure specified on the dataplate.

2. Does the reading on the gauge of the test kit agree

with that specified on the dataplate?  If so, then no

further checking or adjustment is required.  Proceed

to Section D.

3. If the pressure does not agree with that specified on

the dataplate, then the regulator controlling gas

pressure to the heaters requires adjustment.

D. Completion

1. Once gas pressure has been confirmed and/or

properly set, close the fuel supply valve to the heater

and allow the heater to burn off any gas remaining in

the gas supply line.

2. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply.

3. Remove the gauge kit.

4. Reconnect the heater’s gas hose to the heater.

Tighten securely.

5. Reconnect the heater to its electrical supply.

6. Open the main fuel supply valves to the heater and

check for gas leaks.

ATTENTION

■

Insure both gas shut-off valves on the test kit are in

the closed position when connecting the kit to the

heater and gas supply.
