Guardian Agricultural Animal Confinement Building Heaters
Maintenance Instructions
BEFORE EACH USE:
■ Have your gas supplier check all gas piping an-
nually for leaks or restrictions in gas lines. Also,
at this time have your gas supplier clean out
the sediment trap of any debris that may have
accumulated.
■ The brood heater's surrounding area shall be kept
clear and free from combustible materials, gaso-
line, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Regulators must be periodically inspected to make
sure the regulator vents are not blocked. Debris,
insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator
can block vents and cause excess pressure at the
appliance.
■ Review all brood heater markings (ie. warnings,
start-up/shutdown, electrical wiring, diagrams, etc.)
for legibility. Ensure that none are cut, torn, or
otherwise damaged. Any damaged markings must
be replaced immediately by contacting L.B. White
Co., Inc. Markings are available at no cost.
■ Inspect gas hoses for nicks,cuts, or corroded
fittings. Replace the complete gas hose assembly
if defects are found.
■ Inspect the brood heater's electrical connections.
Replace any terminals that are corroded.
■ Leak check the brood heater's gas connections
according to instructions within this manual before
each use.
ANNUALLY:

Have your gas supplier check the date codes
on all regulators installed and check delivery
pressures to the appliance to make sure that the
regulator is reliable.
■ Test the brood heater's high limit switch annually.
