I don't do anything to mine before I put it away for the summer. There are a few things to know about them in response to some of the troubles I have seen described here. First thing is the light sensor. There are TWO values of sensors. If you put in the wrong one, the heater will simply not work right. Keeping the sensor clean of soot prevents a lot of sensor related troubles. Next, I have found that the piece of tubing that goes into the fuel tank and draws up fuel is prone to deterioration. They are rubber, and after a while the fuel makes them soft and they will collapse in operation and starve the unit for fuel. Air pressure is important. Too high will make them smoke, too low will make them run too lean. Also, I have found that over time, the fan blades will flatten out some and cause low air flow through the combustion chamber resulting in fumes and unreliable operation. There are also goo kits available to refurbish the air pumps and filters to make a heater run like new again. Mostly have learned this from my own experience in using these heaters for years.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
