INSTALLATION
Continued
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14. Lo-
cate sediment trap where it is within reach for
cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel
supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment
trap traps moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into replace controls.
If sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, replace may not run properly.
* Purchase the optional equipment shutoff
valve from your dealer. See Accessories,
page 34.
