Yearly Service Procedure - Travis Industries 430 GSR2 Owner's Manual

Yearly Service Procedure


Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1. Turn the pilot flame to continuous. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the flame sensor.
If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2. Shut off gas to the heater and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 20). Glass may
be cleaned with glass cleaner and a soft cloth (do not use abrasive cleaners).
3. Remove the media (NOTE: The media may be fragile). If severely deteriorated, replace. Check the
media for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the media is normal. If excessive
sooting is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4. Inspect the burner and remove any debris.

Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.

Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.

If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
5. Replace the media. Clean and replace the glass. If the glass is damaged, replace. Make sure the
gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If
it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to ensure an air-tight seal.
6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if
necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas
lines. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact
your dealer for service. Clean the air channels, ducts,
and blower (if applicable).
7. Start the main burner. Inspect the main burner and pilot
flame. After 15 minutes the flames should be
orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If the
pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your
dealer for service. Monitor blower operation.
8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent
termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination. Venting
system should be examined by a qualified agency.
