Maintenance and stOrage
1. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least
annually by a qualified person.
2. Before each use, check the soft "O" ring seat at the bullnose
of the POL fitting. If the "O" ring is cut, scuffed, or otherwise
damaged, replace it with part number F273786.
3. Turn off the gas at the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) when the heater
is not in use.
4. When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection
between the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) and the heater must
be disconnected and the cylinder(s) removed from the heater
and stored out of doors and in accordance with Chapter 5 of
the standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code.
5. It is recommended that the internal battery be maintained on a
constant charge by leaving it plugged into a 120V power source.
6. The heater may be stored with the charger disconnected if all of
the following conditions are met.
•The battery is fully charged before storing. (Failure to store fully
charged will shorten battery life.)
•The average temperature of the storage location is below 50°
(10°C).
•Storage duration is less than 6 months.
serVicing
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has been
modified or is not functioning properly. When the heater is working
properly:
* The flame is contained within the heater.
* The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some yellow tipping.
* There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or other
physical discomfort.
* There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
* There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs of the
heater.
The parts lists and exploded view show the heater as it was
constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from that shown.
In this regard, use only the hose, regulator and cylinder connection
fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied with the heater.
iMpOrtant
Match the color stripe on the hangtag attached to the hose assembly
with the color on the label located near the propane inlet fitting on
the heater. Do not use alternates. For this heater, the regulator must
be set as shown in "specifications". If there is any uncertainty about
the regulator setting, have it checked.
A heater which is not working right must be repaired, but only by a
trained, experienced service person.
In-warranty products will be repaired with no charge for either parts
or labor. Please include a brief statement indicating date, place of
purchase, the nature of the problem and proof of purchase.
Out-of-warrranty products will be repaired with a charge for parts,
labor and shipping.
