Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual
The connection of Model 35-R to an LP-Gas cylinder must
be made in a well ventilated area using the regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the appliance. DO NOT
attempt to adjust this regulator. It has been preset at the
factory to provide safe and proper operation of the
appliance. Use a 7/8” open end wrench to connect the
POL fitting (supplied with the LP regulator) to the LP-Gas
cylinder. Turn the POL nut in a counter-clockwise
direction (left hand thread) until tight. DO NOT use pipe
compound on POL threads.
The heater must be located at least six feet away from any
LP-Gas cylinder and must not be directed toward any LP-
Gas cylinder within 20 feet. If more than one heater is used,
they and the supply cylinders must be separated by at least
20 feet.
The gas supply must be turned off at the LP-Gas supply cylinder
when the heater is not in use.
When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection
between the LP-Gas supply cylinder and the heater must be
disconnected and the cylinder removed from the heater and
stored in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Standard for the
Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NF-PA
58 (U.S.), OR CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada).
If connected to a permanently installed LP Gas supply system,
the system requires the use of a two-stage gas regulator
assembly which is normally provided by your LP-Gas dealer as
part of the LP-Gas supply system. Consult with your local LP-Gas
dealer for details concerning proper equipment and installation.
Piping must be clean and free from scale or burr.
Before attempting to ignite the appliance, all gas fittings and
connections must be thoroughly checked for gas leaks. Apply a
small amount of a mild soap and water solution to all fittings
and connections and observe for escaping bubbles. If any leaks
are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance
immediately. Wait a minimum of five minutes, repair the leak(s)
and retest for leakage. Dry all fittings and connections after
leak testing.
WARNING
NEVER USE A FLAME FOR GAS LEAK TESTING.
