Guardian LP or Natural Gas Heater
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 opera-
tion. 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
heater installation, before building repopulation
or when relocating.
11. This 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 to the heater if the
heater is not going to be used in the heating of
livestock.
13. This heater is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and must be plugged directly into
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
Failure to use a properly grounded receptacle
can result in electrical shock, personal injury, or
death.
14. In a hanging type installation, rigid pipe or
copper tubing coupled directly to the 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.
15. 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 tub-
ing when used for conveying natural gas, shall
be internally tinned or equivalently treated to
resist sulphur.
