L.B. White Premier TS080, Owner'S Manual

14

1. The area surrounding the heater shall be kept clear

and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and

other flammable vapors and liquids.

2. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually

for leaks or restrictions in gas lines.

3. Regulators must be periodically inspected to make

sure the regulator vents are not blocked.  Debris,

insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator can

block vents and cause excess pressure at the heater.

4. Regulators can wear out and function improperly.

Have your gas supplier check the date codes on all

regulators installed and check delivery pressures to

the heater to make sure that the regulator is reliable.

5. Check all wiring, associated terminals, and electrical

components within the heater for corrosion, frayed or

cut insulation, tight connections, etc.  Repair or

replace as necessary.

6. Review all heater markings (i.e. wiring diagram,

warnings, start-up, shut-down, troubleshooting, etc.)

at the time of maintenance for legibility.  Make sure

none are cut, torn, or otherwise damaged.  Any

damaged markings must be replaced immediately by

contacting the L.B. White Co., Inc.  Dataplates, start-

up and shut-down instructions and warnings are

available at no cost.  A nominal charge will be applied

for wiring diagrams.

Maintenance Instructions

1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and

disconnect electrical supply.

2. The heater should have dir t or dust removed

periodically:

a. Before each use give the heater a general

cleaning using compressed air or a soft brush or

dry rag on its case and internal components.  At

this time, dust off the motor case to prevent the

motor from over-heating.

b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough

cleaning.  At this time, remove the fan and motor

assembly and brush or blow off the fan blade

assembly.  Additionally, make sure the burner air

inlet venturi ports and the casting are free of dust

accumulation.

WARNING

Do not use a pressure washer, water, or liquid cleaning

solution on any gas controls.  Use of a pressure washer,

water, or liquid cleaning solution on the control

components can cause severe personal injury or

property damage due to water and/or liquids:

■

In electrical components, and wires causing electrical

shock or equipment failure.

■

On gas control valves causing corrosion which can

result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from the leak.

Clean all components of the heater with pressurized air,

a dry brush, or a dry cloth.
