Maintenance Tips

• Pre-Operation Inspection: Check for fuel leaks, loose connections, and worn hoses before each use. Ensure the glycol lines and heat exchangers are in good condition.
• Use Clean, High-Quality Fuel: Always use fresh, high-grade diesel fuel. Drain water and contaminants from the fuel tank and filters regularly to prevent clogging.
• Monitor and Change Engine Oil: Check oil levels frequently and follow the recommended change schedule. Use manufacturer-approved engine oil for optimal performance.
• Inspect and Maintain Glycol System: Check glycol levels, inspect hoses for leaks, and replace worn components. Use the recommended glycol-water mixture for efficient heating.
• Clean or Replace Air Filters: Ensure proper airflow by inspecting and cleaning or replacing air filters as needed. A clogged filter can reduce efficiency and cause overheating.
• Check the Hydraulic System: Inspect fluid levels and hoses for leaks. Change hydraulic oil and filters as per the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
• Test Safety and Control Systems: Verify proper operation of thermostats, flame sensors, and emergency shutoff mechanisms to ensure safe heating.
• Inspect and Maintain Exhaust and Venting: Keep exhaust vents and air intake areas clear of obstructions to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and ensure efficient combustion.
• Keep the Unit Clean: Remove dirt, debris, and glycol spills from the unit after use to prevent corrosion and maintain efficiency.
• Proper Storage: Store in a dry, covered location when not in use. If storing for long periods, drain fuel, check glycol levels, and protect components from freezing temperatures.
