livestock, and building damage.
ATTENTION
The following explains a typical procedure to be
followed in checking gas pressures on control valves.
The gas pressures will vary depending upon heater
model and fuel type.
Consult the dataplate or the heater specification on
pages 4 and 5 in this guide for specific pressures to
be used in conjunction with this procedure.
Gas pressure measured at the inlet to the gas valve is
Inlet Pressure and gas pressure measured at the
outlet of the gas valve is Burner Manifold Pressure.

control valve are tightened securely.
pressure gauges capable of reading up to 35 in. W.C.
2. Disconnect the heater from the electrical supply and
close the fuel supply valve to the heater inlet.
3. Open or remove the burner access panel, if
applicable. Remove the protective cover from over the
control valve.
4. Brush or blow off any dust and direct on or in the
