The LP-gas supply cylinder to be used:
- Must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.
- Must be provided with a listed overfilling
prevention device.
- Must be provided with a cylinder connection
device compatible with the No. 600 valve
connection of the heater.
Do not connect the heater to propane tanks
greater than 20 pounds LPG capacity (5 pounds
water capacity) without checking with your local
fire department. The LP-gas supply cylinder to
be used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for LP-gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).
The pressure regulator and hose assembly sup-
plied with the heater must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must
be those specific by the heater manufacturer.
This heater may be used in a recreational enclo-
sure or temporary construction work enclosure
with a remote refillable propane cylinder ONLY
when the cylinder is located outdoor and the
heater is used with Paulin hose kit number
4122 or 3123 (Figure 7).
NEVER bring a refillable propane cylinder in-
doors. A fire or explosion can occur causing
property damage, serious injury or death.
Inspect the hose before each use of the heater.
If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior
to the heater being put into operation. The re-
placement hose assembly shall be that specified
by the manufacturer.
Connecting Heater to Bulk Propane Tank:
Always connect the heater to an outside bulk
tan kin the outdoors. NEVER connect this
heater to a bulk tank near an open flame.
USE OF HEATER:
Always use your hater in an upright position on a
level noncombustible surface in a location where
it could not be accidently tipped over by humans
or animals. NEVER place the heater or propane
tank on its side or in a horizontal position when
operating as this could lead to dangerous flare
up or fire. Pick heater up by handle and return
to upright position. Make certain control knob
is in the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes before
relighting to allow propane in tank to stabilize.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE LIGHTING, OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
WHEN CONNECTING HEATER TO BULK TANK
Screw appropriate end of the hose into the
heater regulator and the other end into the
propane tank valve. Tighten connections at
both ends.
Before each use look through opening at back
of heater and look at connection at tank valve
to check connections with soap solution to be
sure there are no leaks (Figure 3). Never check
for leaks with a match. DO NOT USE HEATER
if bubbles form from the soap solution, if you
smell gas, or if there are any other leaks in
your propane system.
Open propane tank valve.
Depress completely and turn control knob
counterclockwise to PILOT position and hold
for 15-30 seconds allowing gas to flow to the
pilot. You may have to hold longer depending
on hose length.
Keeping the control knob depressed, turn from
the PILOT to the OFF position and immediately
back to the PILOT position to utilize spark
igniter.
Repeat the PILOT-OFF-PILOT sequence until
the pilot lights.
Continue to depress the control knob at the
PILOT position for 15-30 seconds to activate
the Pilot Light Safety System.
NOTE: If the spark igniter fails to light the pilot,
turn knob OFF, allow at least 2 minutes for gas
to dissipate and light with a match.
Release control knob after the pilot is lit and
Immediately turn to HIGH position to light
heater.
NOTE: Within a few minutes the ceramic tile
will develop a steady bright orange glow ex-
cept for a 1/4’’ border along its outside edges.
When lit the first time, the top of the reflector
will discolor to a bluish-brown.
Adjust heat output by depressing control knob
slightly and turning to LOW or HIGH position.
To shut off heater, push down control knob and
turn clockwise to OFF position.
Close propane tank valve. The gas must be
turned off at the supply cylinder when the
heater is not in use.
When the LP-gas supply cylinder is not discon-
nected from the heater, the heater and the
cylinder must be stored outdoors, in a well
ventilated space, out of the reach of children,
and must not be stored in a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.
Indoor storage of the heater is permissible only
if the cylinder is disconnected and removed
from the heater.
