MAINTENANCE

The following preventative maintenance is to be per-
formed one month after start-up and semi-annually
thereafter.
1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a
sticky black substance around finned tubes and
"V" baffles, and open flue gas passageways. Any
visible soot should be cleaned for proper opera-
tion. See the De-sooting Procedure in the Service
Section.
2. Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and
lint.
3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and
pressure relief valve (if equipped).
4. Make visual check of the burner and pilot flames.
Flame pattern on the main burner and pilot is illus-
trated in the Post Start-Up Inspection section.
Yellow flame means restriction of the air openings.
Lifting or blowing flame indicates high gas pres-
sure. Low flame means low gas pressure. Should
these occur, shut the heater off and contact your
gas supplier or qualified service agency.
5. On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to
ensure adequate flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air.
6. Keep area around heater clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
and corrosive vapors and liquids.

SERVICE

Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adéquatement une
fois l'entretien terminé.

Water Pressure Switch

The water pressure switch, ensures that the heater
operates only when the filter pump is in operation. It is
located on the In/Out header. It is factory set at 1.75
PSI (12kPa) for deck-level installations. When the
heater is located below the level of the spa or pool, it
may be necessary to adjust the pressure switch to
compensate for the no-flow static head. If it is neces-
sary to adjust the water pressure switch, utilize the
following procedure.
CAUTION: Do not adjust the pressure switch until
all air has been evacuated from the system and the
water flow rate meets the requirements listed in
Table H.
