GENERAL
This procedure is for dent removal on the following SHS items: rain cap assembly, stack assembly,
canister lid assembly, and burner body.
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, canister lid assembly, rain cap, stack
assembly sections, and the heat shield.
Dent removal should be done short of replacing the item or items if and only if equipment operation will
not be reduced. For example, if dent removal does not stop smoke leakage into the heated space, the
faulty component or entire heater should then be replaced.
