Roof Damage Warning and Disclaimer
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excessive vacuum or internal
pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air” devices
should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does n ot recommend
the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result fro m any blockage of
air passages. Running fans during high humidity/cold weather conditions can cause air exhaust
or intake ports to freeze.
CAUTION
Excessive vacuum (or pressure) may
damage roof. Use positive aeration
system. Make sure all roof vents are
open and unobstructed. Start roof
fans when supply fans are started.
Do not operate when conditions exist
that may cause roof vent icing.

Machine to Earth Ground
It is very important that a machine to earth ground rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is
a ground at the pole 15' away. This ground needs to be as close to the fan as possible, but no more than
8' away. The ground rod should be connected to the fan contro l panel with at least a # 6 solid bare copper
ground wire, or in accordance with local requirements. The machine to earth ground provides additional
safety if there is a short. It also provides the grounding necessary for long life and operation of the solid
state circuit boards used on control circuits and the electronic ignition systems.
Previously Installed Units
It is recommended that previously installed units be checked to see that a machine to earth ground
has been installed by an electrician.
Standard electrical safety practices and codes should be used when working with a heater. Refer to the
National Electric Code Standard Handbook by the National Fire Protection Association. A qualified electrician should make all wiring installations.

(Approximate)
All parts are made of weather-proof construction and are designed to require a minimum of service;
however, we recommend the following items be checked and serviced, as described, before the unit is
used each season. Replace any damaged or questionable parts.
THESE CHECKS WILL HELP ELIMINATE POSSIBLE MINOR FAULTS AND ASSURE DEPENDABLE
OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT WHEN IT IS NEEDED.
1. Check fan and service it as described within the fan installation and operation manual.
2. Shut off electrical power. Remove heater control box cover and inspect for moisture, rodent damage
or accumulated foreign material remove any foreign material present. INSPECT AND TIGHTEN ALL
LOOSE TERMINAL CONNECTIONS. Replace any damaged or deteriorated wiring.
3. Shut off fuel and remove and clean gas line strainer.
4. Remove the orifice from the burner venturi and inspect for obstructions. Also, inspect and clean out
the burner venturi and the ports within the burner cup. Blow out with compressed air or disassemble
and thoroughly clean these parts. Foreign material in the venturi or burner cup will impair heater
operation and cannot be expected to burn out when the heater is started.
5. Inspect and clean the electrodes on the ignitor plug. Use an ignition point file to remove carbon and
rust between the electrode surfaces.
6. Inspect flame rod and ignitor plug wires for possible damage or poor connections.
7. After completing all checks and performing any necessary service, check the control device, as
described under the following appropriate heading.
Heaters Equipped with a Humidistat Control
Temporarily remove humidistat control from air plenum chamber of bin. Rotate the knob through the 20%
to 80% humidity range. The switch within the humidistat should produce a small “click” when the lever
passes the point of prevailing humidity.
NOTE: For additional information, refer to instructions that accompanied the humidistat.
Heaters Equipped with a Thermostat Control
Slowly rotate the thermostat dial through its temperature range. The switch within the thermostat should
produce a small “click” when the dial passes the point of prevailing temperature. Set the dial to a setting
at least 10°F above the prevailing temperature and proceed to the next step.
8. Test operate the fan and heater. Make sure to follow operating instructions, INCLUDING. After fan
starts operating and the heater purge interval has elapsed (approximately 20 seconds delay), the
heater should come ON and start operating.
9. Slowly change the humidistat or thermostat setting and cycle the heater OFF and ON to make sure
the device is controlling the heater and is operating properly.

7. Service
10. LP MODELS ONLY - After heater has been operating for some time and temperatures have
stabilized, check temperature of the gas line between outlet side of vaporizer and the gas regulator.
If gas line becomes “frosted” with an accumulation o f ice build-u p, adjust vaporize r slightly closer to
the flame. If line reaches a high temperature where it is hot to the touch, adjust vaporizer further away
from the flame.
NOTE: If gas temperature exceeds approximately 220°F, the vapor high-limit thermostat will open
the electrical circuit to the liquid gas solenoid valve and shut off fuel flow to stop the heater.
This condition can be verified by temporarily connecting a jumper wire across the connections
of the high-limit and observing that the burner re-lights. If high-limit vapor thermost at causes
the burner to stop operating, it may also cause the burner to go into a safety lock out
condition. Refer to heater operating instructions for restarting procedure.
11. Vaporizers should be inspected and serviced prior to each season of operation, including
the following:
a. Carefully inspect the surfaces of the vaporizer coil and the inlet and vapor outlet pipes for
evidence of severe corrosion or abrasion of metal which could cause subsequent leakage of
liquid propane, gross overheating and fire hazard.
b. Insecure mounting of either the vaporizer or burner, due to loosened bolts, can cause interference
between burner vanes and vaporizer pipes, with the natural vibration of the unit causing erosion
of the pipe metal at the point of maintained contact.
c. If there has been significant abrasion of the steel vaporizer pipe, it must be replaced.
12. When satisfied that heater is operating properly, make sure to reset the control d evice to the p roper
setting and restore the fan and heater for normal type operation.
IMPORTANT: Use care when troubleshooting this product. Limit exposure to potential hazards by
following all recommended safety practices.
