Maintenance Tips
- Pre-Use Inspection: Check for fuel leaks, worn hoses, and loose connections before each use. Ensure glycol lines and heat exchangers are intact and functioning.
- Use High-Quality Fuel: Always use clean, fresh diesel fuel. Drain water and contaminants from the fuel tank and fuel filters regularly to prevent clogging.
- Monitor and Change Engine Oil: Check the oil level frequently and change it according to the manufacturer’s schedule using the recommended oil type.
- Inspect and Maintain Glycol System: Ensure proper glycol levels, inspect hoses for leaks or cracks, and use the recommended glycol-to-water mixture for optimal heat transfer.
- Clean or Replace Air Filters: Keep air filters clean to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating or reduced efficiency. Replace as needed.
- Check Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels and hoses for leaks. Change hydraulic oil and filters at manufacturer-recommended intervals.
- Test Safety and Control Systems: Regularly test thermostats, flame sensors, emergency shutoff mechanisms, and circulation pumps to ensure safe and reliable operation.
- Inspect Exhaust and Venting: Keep exhaust vents and air intakes clear of obstructions to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and ensure efficient combustion.
- Keep the Unit Clean: Remove dirt, glycol spills, and debris after each use to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.
