PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Understanding the basic operation of the heater will reinforce the need to
maintain the unit in top condition at all times, whilst always observing the
safety precautions.
The heater comprises four basic systems:
1. The gas system.
2. The air system.
3. The ignition system.
4. The safety control system.
AIR SYSTEM
An axial fan, which is energised when switching on, provides the air flow
through the combustion chamber to provide a stream of hot air from the
heater.
GAS SYSTEM
The gas supply to the machine is by means of a high pressure hose,
connected to an LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) cylinder, via a pressure regulator.
When the mains supply is switched on, the Safety Shut-off valve solenoid is
energised, allowing the gas to flow to the Flame Failure valve, and when the
failure valve override knob is depressed, gas flows to the burner head.
8
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]
Page 9
IGNITION SYSTEM
Ignition is automatic with this heater as soon as the gas valve button is
depressed, with a continuous spark from the spark plug igniting the gas. As the
thermocouple heats up, a low voltage is fed to the Flame Failure valve,
causing the valve to open, so that after a few seconds, the gas valve button
may be released and the flame is established.
SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM
Should the flame extinguish for any reason, the thermocouple will quickly cool,
causing the Flame Failure valve to close, shutting off the gas supply.
Similarly, should there be a power failure, causing the fan motor to stop, the
Safety Shut-Off valve solenoid will become de-energised, and therefore shut
off the gas supply.
Additionally, the machine is equipped with thermal overload protection,
which will intervene should the unit overheat, shutting off the electrical supply.
STARTING PROCEDURE
WARNING: BEFORE STARTING THE HEATER, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE
MINIMUM VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS ARE OBSERVED TO AVOID THE
RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
1. Ensure there is sufficient gas and that it is correctly connected.
2. Open the supply valve on the gas
cylinder, and fully open the
regulator valve adjacent to the
gas inlet pipe.
3. Plug the heater in to a suitable
power supply.
4. Set the flame intensity control
valve (B), to a low setting,
5. Set the fan switch (A) to the ON (I)
position. Confirm the fan
operates.
6. Hold in the gas valve button (C), until the thermocouple is energised and
the heater ignites.
7. If the heater fails to ignite, there may be air in the hose so keep the fuel
valve open and wait for about 15 seconds. Wait 30 seconds for unburned
fuel to exit the heater. Repeat the step above.

Page 10
8. When the burner remains lit, set the heater at the required level by turning
the flame intensity control valve counter-clockwise. If the burner goes out,
turn off the gas. Turn the gas valve fully clockwise to its lowest position.
Check the fuel supply. If adequate fuel is available, re-start the heater from
step 1.
Should the flame extinguish when the ignition button is released, wait for 1
minute, before repeating the operation.
• Turning the flame intensity control valve anti-clockwise will increase the
gas supply and therefore the output, clockwise to decrease.
If ignition is difficult or irregular, ensure the fan is operating and that the air inlet
and outlet are completely clear. Also ensure that the electrode gap is correct,
and that the electrode is clean (see Maintenance).
IMPORTANT:
Should the thermal overload protection feature operate and the spark plug is
seen to be operating, shut off the gas supply and allow the unit to cool for at
least 10 minutes with the fan running, before attempting to relight the burner.
Should the flame safety valve operate, the heater may be restarted once the
cause of the problem has been found and rectified.
SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE
1. Turn off the gas at the propane cylinder valve(s).
2. Let the heater run while any gas left in the supply hoses is burnt off.
3. Allow the fan to run for 2 - 3 minutes with the burner off, in order to allow
the casing to cool down and the fan to disperse any residual gas.
4. Switch off the fan and unplug from the electrical supply.
5. Disconnect the gas supply.

F (37 oC).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY ADJUSTMENT OR
MAINTENANCE, ENSURE THE HEATER IS SWITCHED OFF, DISCONNECTED
FROM THE MAINS AND GAS SUPPLY, AND HAS BEEN GIVEN ADEQUATE
TIME TO COOL DOWN.
It is essential that the heater is correctly maintained and kept in top condition
at all times.
All models are similar, in that access to the control components is gained by
removing the access panel under the base of the heater which is secured by
screws around the edge.
MONTHLY (WHEN IN CONSTANT USE)
Check the spark plug for cleanliness and correct operation. Have the gap reset to no more than 5mm by your Clarke service engineer.
Check the condition of the gas hose. If there are any signs of deterioration, it
should be renewed using only a Clarke original spare part.
Ensure that all connections are clean and secure.
When necessary, clean the fan and the inside of the heater thoroughly.
The use of parts other than genuine Clarke replacement parts may result in
safety hazards or decreased performance, and will invalidate your warranty.
