GREASING
Use the Maintenance Checklist provided to keep a
record of all scheduled maintenance.
1. Use only a hand-held grease gun for all greas-
ing. An air-powered greasing system can
damage the seals on bearings and lead to early
failures.
2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before
greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
3. Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.
4. If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean
thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passage. Re-
place fitting if necessary.
1. Review the Operator's Manual and all safety
items before working with, maintaining or
operating the Heater.
2. Place all controls in their OFF position, dis-
connect power cords and wait for all moving
parts to stop before servicing, adjusting or
maintaining.
3. Have a first-aid kit available for use should the
need arise and know how to use it.
- Keep service area clean and dry.
- Be sure electrical outlets and tools are
properly
grounded.
- Use adequate light for the job at hand.
4. Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away from
all moving and/or rotating parts of the hose
reel and drive system.
5. Always wear heavy gloves to prevent burns
when handling hot components. Wait until burn-
ers, coils and glycol system components have
cooled before working on them.
6. Do not attempt any adjustment or maintenance
to any system of the Heater unless the power
wires are disconnected.
7. Make sure that all guards, shields and hoods
are properly installed and secured before oper-
ating the Heater.
8. Securely support the machine using blocks
or safety stands before working beneath it or
changing tires.
