L.B. White AD100 Owner's Manual page 6

1. Do not attempt to install, repair, or service this brood
heater or the gas supply line unless you have
continuing expert training and knowledge of gas
heaters.
Qualifications for service and installation of this
equipment are as follows:
a. To be a qualified gas brood heater service person,
you must have sufficient training and experience
to handle all aspects of gas-fired brood heater
installation, service and repair. This includes the
task of installation, troubleshooting, replacement
of defective parts and testing of the brood heater.
You must be able to place the brood heater into a
continuing safe and normal operating condition.
You must completely familiarize yourself with each
model brood heater by reading and complying with
the safety instructions, labels, Owner's Manual,
etc., that is provided with each heater.
b. To be a qualified gas installation person, you must
have sufficient training and experience to handle
all aspects of installing, repairing and altering gas
lines, including selecting and installing the proper
equipment, and selecting proper pipe and tank
size to be used. This must be done in accordance
with all local, state and national codes as well as
the manufacturer's requirements.
2. All installations and applications of L.B. White brood
heaters must meet all relevant local, state and
national codes. Included are LPG, natural gas,
electrical, and safety codes. Your local fuel gas
supplier, a local licensed electrician, the local fire
department or similar government agencies, or your
insurance agent can help you determine code
requirements.
3. Do not move, handle, or service the brood heater
while in operation or connected to a power or fuel
supply.
4. This brood heater may be installed in areas subject to
washdown. This brood heater may only be washed on
the external case assembly—see Cleaning
Instructions. Do not wash the interior of the brood
heater. Use only compressed air, soft brush or dry
cloth to clean the interior of the brood heater and it's
components. After external washdown, do not
operate this brood heater until it is completely dry. In
any event, do not operate the brood heater for at
least one hour after external washdown.
5. For safety, this brood heater is equipped with a
manual reset high-limit switch and an air proving
switch. Never operate this brood heater with any
safety device that has been bypassed. Do not
operate this brood heater unless all of these features
are fully functioning.
6. Do not operate the brood heater with its door open or
panel removed.
7. Do not locate fuel gas containers or fuel supply hoses
anywhere near the blower outlet of the brood heater.
6
8. Do not block air intakes or discharge outlets of the
brood heater. Doing so may cause improper
combustion or damage to brood heater components
leading to property damage or animal loss.
9. The hose assembly shall be visually inspected on an
annual basis. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the heater being put into operation.
The hose assembly shall be protected from animals,
building materials, and contact with hot surfaces
during use. The hose assembly shall be that
specified by the manufacturer. See parts list.
10. Check for gas leaks and proper function upon brood
heater installation, before building repopulation or
when relocating.
11. This brood heater should be inspected for proper
operation by a qualified service person before
building repopulation and at least annually.
12. Always turn off the gas supply if the brood heater is
not going to be used.
13. This brood heater is wired for a three-wire electrical
system. There is a hot lead, neutral lead and ground
lead. The brood heater may or may not incorporate a
plug in the power cord to the brood heater and the
plug may or may not incorporate a pin for the ground
wire. In any case, the brood heater must be properly
connected into a grounded electrical supply using the
ground lead in the power cord. Failure to use a
properly grounded electrical supply can result in
electrical shock, personal injury or death.
14. Direct ignition brood heaters will make up to three
trials for ignition. If ignition is not achieved, the
control system will lock out the gas control valve. If
gas is smelled after system lock out has occurred,
immediately close all fuel supply valves. Do not
relight until you are sure that all gas that may have
accumulated has cleared away. In any event, do not
relight for at least 5 minutes.
15. In a hanging type installation, rigid pipe or copper
tubing coupled directly to the brood heater may cause
gas leaks during movement, and therefore must not
be used. Use only gas hose assemblies that are
rated and approved for L.P.gas and natural gas in a
hanging type of installation.
16. Installations not using the gas hose supplied with
this appliance must connect dimensionally using
American National Standard Wrought Steel and
Wrought Iron Pipe B36/10-1970. (Aluminum piping
or tubing shall not be used.) Copper tubing when
used for conveying natural gas, shall be internally
tinned or equivalently treated to resist sulphur.
