Propane Supply (Continued)

- Be sure that the LP cylinder is located on a level and

stable surface. The burner should be at least 24 inches

from the floor.

- Do not use this heater in a basement or below ground

level. Propane (LP) is heavier than air, and will always

seek the lowest level. If you suspect a leak, shut off the

valve at the LP cylinder immediately.

-

Do not use a flame to check for leaks! Use a 50/50

solution of dish soap and water to check for leaks.

Repair any leaks before attempt-ing to re-light the

heater.

- Check the “O” ring on the heater inlet fuel connector for

damage before each use. Replace if damaged or worn.

- Always store the LP cylinder outdoors, but not in an

enclosed area. Never store the LP cylinder near high

heat, direct sunlight or open flames. Never store the LP

cylinder indoors.

- Do not directheater discharge towards any propane

cylinder located within 20 feet of the heater.

- The amount of LP gas used by this heater varies. The

two factors that will determine this are as follows:

1.The amount of gas in the cylinder.

2.The temperature of the cylinder and surrounding area.

Ventilation

For this heater, provide a minimum of 48 square inches of

space by opening a window or door to provide fresh, out-

side air. For additional heaters, provide more ventilation.

Provide at least 3 square feet of opening for ventilation per

100,000 Btu of rated operation.

Connecting Heater to LP Cylinder

Be sure to read and understand all of the Safety

Information in this manual before connecting the

heater to the LP cylinder. Installation must conform to

local codes and with the Standard for the Storage and

Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases and

ANSI/NFPA 58

Inspect the hose and regulator prior to each use of the

heater. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or if the

hose is cut, replace it with the proper assembly shown in

the parts list prior to using the heater.

Nut counterclockwise to tighten. Use a wrench to fully

tighten the nut, being careful not to overtighten.
