GENERAL
This procedure is for dent removal on the following SHA items: stack cap assembly, stack assembly,
burner body, rear door, and burner cover.
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide
Bent or dented components may allow deadly carbon monoxide
emissions into the operating space. Do not attempt to repair these
components if leakage will not be completely stopped, or death may
result due to inhalation of excessive amounts of carbon monoxide.
REPAIR
Use common tools (pliers, mallets, etc.) to remove, to the extent possible, any dents which impair
operation of the heater.
Dent removal should only be carried out on the burner body, door and lid assemblies, stack cap and
telescoping stack assemblies.
Dent removal should be done short of replacing the item or items if and only if equipment operation will
not be reduced (ie: if dent removal does not stop smoke leakage into the heated space, the faulty
component or entire heater should then be replaced).
