SECTION H:
LONG TERM STORAGE
At the close of each heating season, or when you do not plan to use your heater for an extended period, the
following procedures are recommended.
1.
As the end of the season approaches, calculate your fuel purchases so that you can use up all the fuel you
have on hand. When fuel is stored for over six months, its quality may deteriorate. The use of such fuel will
have an unfavorable effect on heater operation.
2.
If your heater needs any service or repair, now is the time to call your dealer and get it done before storage.
That way your heater will be ready for immediate use when the next heating season begins.
3.
If you plan to store your heater in place,
(a)
Disconnect power supply.
(b)
Close the main tank valve.
(c)
Remove all fuel from the fuel sump and clean the fuel strainer.
(See Page 16.)
(d)
Wipe off any stains or dust on heater with a damp cloth, then wipe once
again using a dry cloth.
(e)
Cover heater completely with a large plastic bag to protect from dust.
4. To store heater in another location,
(a)
Disconnect heater.
(b)
Close the main tank valve.
(c)
Remove all fuel from the fuel sump and clean the fuel strainer.
(d)
Disconnect fuel line and flue pipe from the heater.
NOTE: Fuel remaining in the fuel line may flow out when fuel line is disconnected. Have a container ready
to catch drainage.
(e)
Remove any soot accumulated in the flue pipe using a brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
(f)
Wipe off any stains or dust on heater with a damp cloth, then wipe once again using a dry cloth.
(g)
Put the heater in the original shipping box, and store in a dry place. If original shipping box is not
available, cover the heater completely with a large plastic bag to protect from dust during storage.
(h)
Cover exhaust and air intake openings of the flue pipe by using optional caps.
