PRODUCED BY THE IGNITION UNIT. AVOID FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ASPHYXIATION HAZARDS NECO Heaters are designed for drying crop output in grain bins. They provide heated air via grain bin plenums (found underneath full-floor bins) or via in-floor ductwork. Consult the NECO factory before attempting to use heaters for EZEE-DRY applications.
3’ from the side of the transition (below the drying floor). Attach the probe bracket over the hole with screws (see Figure 2). Though not strictly necessary, NECO highly recommends using a burner control device with a modulat- ing valve heater. When a burner control device is not used, jump the two terminals on the terminal strip in the heater control box normally used for the control device.

INITIAL STARTUP USING PROPANE HEATER OPERATIONS NECO liquid propane heaters require pro- pane vapor for start-up. NECO recommends that the supply tank be fitted with both a va- 04DSH1LPH 04DSH1NGH por tap and a liquid tap.

TROUBLESHOOTING OF THE FENWAL IGNITION MODULE Input Polarity 7. Check the connections on the Honeywell Spark Generator. If the system shuts down after the ignition trial period even though a spark is present and the Valve Malfunction gas valves are open, check that the input volt- age at terminals (L1) and (L2) is neutral.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE isconnect all power before doing maintenance. Perform the following tasks at the beginning of each drying season. _________1. Clean any debris out of the fan and heater housing. _________2. Check wiring for loose connections, bare wires, and damage caused by rodents. _________3. Check the flame probe for cracked insulation.
