Heater maintenance summary

We often simply set our heaters aside after use without proper maintenance, significantly shortening their lifespan. We often blame the vendor for poor quality, but this is actually due to a lack of maintenance knowledge and awareness. Proper heater maintenance and extended lifespan require our own attention. Below are a few tips for heater maintenance for your reference.

1. After the heater has been running for a while (depending on user experience), remove the glow plugs to clean out carbon deposits. If the glow plug wire is burnt, remove and replace it with a new one.

2. If excessive carbon deposits reduce thermal efficiency, clean the heat sink fins on the inner wall of the water jacket and the combustion chamber.

3. If dirt clogs the heater's main intake, exhaust, and oil drip lines, clean and unclog them immediately. Keep the heater compartment clean and avoid placing flammable objects around it.

4. Ensure the fuel tank, fuel lines, and oil filter solenoid valve are clean to prevent dirt from clogging the oil lines.

5. Antifreeze fluid suitable for the ambient temperature should be used as the circulating heating medium in the heater's circulation system.

6. The heater's water pump should be inspected regularly based on user usage. If any leaks are detected in the water seal or the pump is having difficulty starting, repair it promptly.

7. The automatic control box, oil filter, electromagnetic rice cooker, and other electrical components on the heater's main unit should be maintained according to standard low-voltage electrical maintenance procedures. All performance parameters of the automatic control box are carefully adjusted by the manufacturer before shipment. Users are strictly prohibited from making any unauthorized modifications.

8. Ensure that the thermal control unit is in good condition and inspect it regularly. If the microswitch is malfunctioning or damaged, replace it promptly.

9. The main motor used in most heaters requires no maintenance for 5,000 hours under normal circumstances. If it malfunctions due to extended use or other reasons, it should be inspected. Check for carbon brush wear and bearing lubrication. Add grease or replace the carbon brushes if necessary.

10. When the heater is not in use in warm seasons, please start it regularly 4-5 times, running it for about 5 minutes each time, to ensure that the heater operates normally when it is used next time.
