LPG and natural gas have man-made odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell the fuel gas.
THAT’S YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION!
Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do
not operate any electrical switches. Do not pull any
power supply or extension cords. Do not light matches
or any other source of flame. Do not use your
telephone.
Get everyone out of the building and away from the area
immediately.
Close all LPG gas tank or cylinder fuel supply valves, or
the main fuel supply valve located at the meter if you
use natural gas.
LPG is heavier than air and may settle in low areas.
When you have reason to suspect a propane leak, keep
out of all low areas.
Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas
supplier and your fire department. Do not re-enter the
building or area.
Stay out of the building and away from the area until
declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas
supplier.
FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the
firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out
the building and area before you return. Properly
trained service people must repair the leak, check for
further leakages, and then relight the appliance for you.
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot
smell the odor of the man-made chemical added to LPG
or natural gas. You must determine if you can smell the
odorant in these fuel gases.
Learn to recognize the odor of LPG and natural gas.
Local LPG dealers will be more than happy to give you a
scratch and sniff pamphlet. Use it to become familiar
with the fuel gas odor.
Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being
around an odor for a period of time can affect your
sensitivity to that particular odor.
The odorant in LPG and natural gas is colorless and the
intensity of its odor can fade under some
circumstances.
If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas
through the soil can filter the odorant.
LPG odor may differ in intensity at different levels.
Since propane gas is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels.
Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor.If you
continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small,
treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as
discussed previously.
Safety Precautions
ODOR FADING -- NO ODOR DETECTED
ATTENTION -- CRITICAL POINTS TO REMEMBER!
LPG has a distinctive odor. Learn to recognize these
odors. (Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor Fading
sections above.
If you have not been properly trained in repair and service
of LPG and natural gas brood heaters, then do not
attempt to light the heater, perform service or repairs, or
make any adjustments to the brood heater on the fuel
system.
Even if you are not properly trained in the service and
repair of the brood heater, ALWAYS be consciously
aware of the odors of LPG and natural gas.
A periodic sniff test around the heater or at the brood
heater’s joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a good
safety practice under any conditions. If you smell even a
small amount of gas, CONTACT YOUR FUEL GAS
SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT!
WARNING
Do not use this brood heater for heating human living
quarters.
Do not use in unventilated areas.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the
combustion air requirements of the brood heater being
used.
Refer to the specification section of the brood heater’s
Owner’s Manual, heater dataplate, or contact the
L.B. White Company to determine combustion air
ventilation requirements of the brood heater.
Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper
combustion.
Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning leading to serious injury or death.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include
headaches, dizziness and difficulty in breathing.
Symptoms of improper combustion affecting livestock
can be disease, lower feed conversion, or death.

1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this brood heater.
If during the installation or relocating of the brood
heater, you suspect that a part is damaged or
defective, call a qualified service agency for repair or
replacement.
2.
Make sure the brood heater is properly positioned
before use and is hung level. Observe and obey all
minimum safe distances of the heater to the nearest
combustible materials. Minimum safe distances are
given on the brood heater nameplate and on page 4 of
this manual.
3. The brood heater may be installed either indoors or
outdoors. When the brood heater is mounted
outdoors, use only the ductwork supplied in the
outdoor mounting kit.
4. For brood heaters intended for outdoor installation,
the brood heater is to be installed at least 18 inches
above the ground or to a height that would prevent
snow blockage of brood heater’s air inlet.
5.
The brood heater must have the proper gas regulator
installed for the application. A regulator must be
connected to the gas supply so that gas pressure at the
inlet to the gas valve is regulated within the range
specified on the dataplate at all times. Contact your
gas supplier, or the L.B. White Co., Inc. if you have any
questions.
6. The brood heater’s gas regulator (with pressure relief
valve) should be installed outside of building. Any
regulators inside the buildings must be properly
vented to the outside. Local, state and national
codes always apply to regulator installation.
7.
All gas pressure regulators must be installed in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
These instructions accompany each regulator.
8. Insure that all accessories that ship within the brood
heater have been removed from inside of heater and
installed. This pertains to air diverters, hose,
regulators, etc.
9. Make certain that a sediment trap is installed at the
gas valve inlet to prevent foreign materials (pipe
compound, pipe chips and scale) from entering the
gas valve. Debris blown into the gas valve may cause
that valve to malfunction resulting in a serious gas
leak that could result in a possible fire or explosion
causing loss of products, building or even life. A
properly installed sediment trap will keep foreign
materials from entering the gas valve and protect the
safe functioning of that important safety component.
10. Any brood heater connected to a piping system must
have an accessible, approved manual shut off valve
installed within 1.83 m of the brood heater it serves.
11. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as
follows:
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fittings and adapters upstream of the gas
control with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and
proper application of pipe compound before
further tightening.
-- Furthermore tighten the gas connections as
necessary to stop the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any
leaks are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to
prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that
could cause flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fittings and
joints as well as the gas control valve inlet and
outlet connections with approved gas leak
detectors.
-- If a leak is detected, check the components
involved for cleanliness in the thread areas
and proper application of pipe compound
before further tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to
stop the leak.

of the brood heater. Do not exceed the burner
manifold pressure stated on the dataplate. Do not
use an orifice size different than specified for the
specific input rating of this brood heater, fuel type
configuration and altitude.
1. Air diverters can be installed in the brood heater
outlet to provide direction to the heated air as it exits
the brood heater. Installation options include
installing the diverters in such a way as to broadly
distribute the air in two 45 degree paths or to focus
the air flow in one 45 degree direction. See Fig. 1.
2. The air diverters may require hand forming prior to
installation. Make 90 degree bends utilizing the
performations provided. The diverter should then
have the shape shown in Fig. 1.
3. The air diverter’s tabs on each half will pop into the
blower outlet between the inside of the case
assembly and the blower housing outlet. If the
notched tabs do not pop into the blower outlet,
loosen (do not remove) the blower outlet screws.
Doing this provides a gap into which you can insert
the tabs. Retighten the screws after installation.

1. Always use approved pipe thread compound suitable
for use with L.P. gas or natural gas on the threaded
connections.
2. Assemble the components together according to the
figure. This view is to show general assembly of the
components only. The regulator must always be
mounted so its vent, regardless of location on the
regulator, is always pointed downward.
3. Tighten all connections securely.
4. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
gas leak detectors.
FIG. 5
Follow steps 1 - 6 on initial start-up after brood heater
installation by a qualified gas heater service person. For
normal start-up, simply turn thermostat above room
temperature. The brood heater will start.
1. Open all manual fuel supply valves and check for gas
leaks using approved leak detectors. The gas control
valve on the brood heater has a manual shut-off
feature incorporated into the valve assembly. Make
sure the indicator on the valve is turned to the “on”
position. See Fig. 6.
FIG. 6
2. Connect the electrical cord to an approved electrical
outlet.
3. Set the thermostat (if supplied) to desired room
temperature.
4. This brood heater includes a direct ignition control
module for purposes of controlling the timing of the
ignition process of the heater as well as monitoring of
the safety functions. The control module is contained
within the control enclosure. On the control module
is a red light emitting diode (LED). This LED indicates
the status of the brood heater. The LED is visible
external of the control enclosure through the viewing
window. A constant light from the LED is an indicator
that the brood heater is functioning correctly. Any
flash pattern by the LED is indicative that there is a
problem in the operation of the brood heater. Refer
to the troubleshooting decal on the access panel at
the fan motor end of the brood heater for assistance
in troubleshooting. Only qualified and properly
trained personnel shall service or repair the brood
heater.
5. On a call for heat, the motor will start up and run for
five (5) seconds. This “pre-purge” is a safety feature
and a normal operational characteristic prior to
ignition taking place. After five (5) seconds, the
igniter will begin to spark.
NOTE: It is normal for air to be trapped in the gas
hose on new installations. The brood heater
may attempt more than one trial for ignition
before the air is finally purged from the line
and ignition takes place.
6. The ignition control will make up to three trials for
ignition. Each trial for ignition will take approximately
ten (10) seconds. The first three trials for ignition will
occur within 40 seconds if ignition is not achieved. A
15 minute “wait period” will then begin after the third
trial for ignition has taken place. After the 15 minute
time span has elapsed, three more trials for ignition
will take place. If ignition is not achieved at this final
trial, the system will “lock out”, and a three flash
pattern will be indicated by the LED.
If the brood heater is to be shut down for cleaning,
maintenance or repair, follow steps 1 - 5. Otherwise, simply
turn thermostat to “off” or “no heat” for standard shut
down.
1. Close all manual fuel supply valves.
2. With the brood heater lit, allow heater to burn off
excess fuel in gas supply hose.
3. Turn the indicator on the gas control to “off”.
4. Turn thermostat to “off” or “no heat” position.
5. Disconnect the brood heater from the electrical
supply.

The following explains a typical procedure to be followed
in checking gas pressures.
The gas pressures will vary depending upon fuel type.
Consult the dataplate on the brood heater or page 4 in
this manual for specific pressures to be used in
conjunction with this procedure.
Gas pressure measured at the inlet to the gas valve is
Inlet Pressure and gas pressure measured at the outlet
of the gas valve is Burner Manifold Pressure.
A. Preparation
1. Obtain two pressure gauges capable of reading up to
26 kPa in. W.C.
2. Disconnect the heater from the electrical supply and
close the fuel supply valve to the brood heater inlet.
3. Open the burner access panel.
4. Brush or blow off any dust and dirt on or in the vicinity
of the gas control valve.
B. Gauge Installation
1. Locate the inlet and outlet pressure taps, see Fig. 21.
Remove the pressure tap plug using a 3/16 in. allen
key.
FIG. 21
FIG. 22
2. Securely connect a pressure gauge to each pressure
tap.
3. Open the fuel supply valves to the heater and
reconnect the heater electrical supply.
4. Start the heater
C. Reading Pressures
1. With the brood heater operating, the pressure gauges
should read the pressures specified on the dataplate.
2. Do the readings at the inlet and outlet pressure
gauges agree with that specified on the dataplate?
If so, then no further checking or adjustment is
required. Proceed to section D.
3. If the inlet pressures do not agree with that specified
on the dataplate, then the regulator controlling gas
pressure to the brood heater requires adjustment.
4. If the inlet pressures are correct and the burner
manifold pressure does not agree with that specifed
on the dataplate, then the gas control valve’s internal
pressure regulator requires adjustment. See Fig. 22
for regulator location.
D. Completion
1. Once the proper inlet and burner manifold pressures
have been confirmed and/or properly set, close the
fuel supply valve to the brood heater and allow the
brood heater to burn off any gas remaining in the gas
supply line.
2. Disconnect the brood heater from its electrical supply.
3. Remove the gauges and connecting hoses.
4. Install pressure tap plugs and tighten securely.
Check for gas leaks.
Gas Pressure Checks
WARNING
Do not disassemble the gas control valve.
Do not attempt to replace any components of the gas
control valve.
The gas control valve must be replaced if any physical

BEGINNING TO TROUBLESHOOT PROBLEMS.
The following troubleshooting gude provides systematic
procedures for isolating equipment problems. This guide is
intended for use by a QUALIFIED GAS HEATER SERVICE
PERSON. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THESE BROOD
HEATERS UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TRAINED.
TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The following pieces of test equipment will be required to
troubleshoot this system with minimal time and effort.
Digital Multimeter - for measuring voltage and
resistance.
Low Pressure Gauge - (L.B. White Part No. 00764) for
checking inlet and manifold pressures of the gas control
valve against dataplate rating.
INITIAL PREPARATION
Visually inspect brood heater for apparent damage.
Check all wiring for loose connections and worn
insulation.
Refer to the system operation sequence in this section to
gain an understanding as to how the brood heater operates.
Understanding the operation sequence of the ignition
module and related components is essential as it will relate
directly to problem solving provided by the flow charts.
The ignition control module is self-diagnostic. The red light
on the module will flash a specific pattern depending upon
the problem which is diagnosed. To effectively use the flow
charts, you must first identify what the problem is by the
flashing pattern of the L.E.D. (light emitting diode)
diagnostic light. If the light is flashing, the flash pattern will
be followed by a pause and then a repeat of the flash
pattern until the problem is corrected.
