MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS

WARNING: Make sure all power to the appliance is turned OFF before proceeding.
Always disconnect the appliance from the main power supply and allow it to cool before any servicing operation. The motor used on the blower is pre- lubricated for extended bearing life and requires no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the appliance around the air intake and exhaust, as well as the blower is recommended. For heavy or continuous use, periodic cleaning must be done more frequently. If the heater blows alternating cold and warm air, check the blower for free movement and for debris restricting air flow. If the blower does not move freely, the unit must be turned off and the blower replaced immediately in order to prevent further damage to the unit.
