CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
Continued
FUEL REQUIREMENTS:
Connect regulator/hose with standard 20-pound
LP cylinder coupler.
Call the LP gas supplier to inspect the cylinder.
Do not use a damaged LP gas cylinder.
Do not use LP gas without proper
decompression.
Do not connect irregular LP gas supply with

other gases.
CAUTION: It is dangerous to use a damaged
or rusted cylinder.
OPERATING HEATER
This heater is designed for use with LP gas. You may
light the heater directly.
LP gas is heavier than air. If it leaks from joint, it may
sink down to the floor and mix with ambient air to form
a detonable mixture. If you have questions, contact
your LP dealer for instructions or service.
Warning: Fire, burn, inhalation and explosion
hazard. Keep solid combustibles, such as
building materials, paper or cardboard, at safe
clearances from the heater. Never use heater in
the vicinity of gasoline, solvent, paint thinner or
other combustibles.
Caution: When heater runs in the presence of
other people, the user is responsible to properly
offer those present safety precautions and
hazard information.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Follow adaptable lighting instructions. Apply soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Do
not use a match or an open flame to detect leak. Light
heater after ensuring that no gas leak exists.
