Hired-Hand Super Glo Brooders (Infrared): SPI Infrared - Manual (Page 4)

Part No. 4801-5112 Rev 7-06 SPI Infrared Brooder Page 4 of 4
INSTALLATION
Installation of your assembled appliance involves suspending the appliance, connecting gas supply &
checking gas pressure, and ignition & 'burn-off' of ceramic radiant.
Hanging The Brooder
To hang the brooder, simply run your hook or cable through the
appropriate hole on the hanging bracket. Be certain to re-level
the brooder after the gas line is connected for proper operation.
Connecting Gas Supply
NOTE: Slide a gas hose well over the 1/8" x 5" nipple on the
gas valve assembly. A clamp should be used to firmly hold the
hose in place.
1. All brooders must be connected to gas supply with an
American Gas Association approved gas hose and fittings.
An approved hose is available at your Hired-Hand dealer.
2. More than one brooder may be connected to one regulator
provided it can maintain the rated pressure and flow
capacity to each brooder on that particular regulator while
all brooders are in operation.
WARNING!
First Ignition Of Brooder Will Give Off Unpleasant Odor And Smoke! THIS IS NORMAL. A 'Burn-off'
Period Is Required To Eliminate Smoke & Odor. If Possible, Run Ventilation During First Operation Of
Brooder. After 'Burn-off' Period, Brooder Will Operate Normally.
Lighting Pilot
1. Turn on main gas supply valve.
2. Twist the knobs atop the gas valve to its pilot position.
3. Insert flame into hole underneath gas shield to heat thermocouple and pilot orifice.
4. After a few seconds, depress the red gas valve button. HOLD DOWN BUTTON .
5. Pilot will ignite.
6. Release button. Remove flame from bottom of igniter shield.
7. Pilot will remain lit.
NOTE: If pilot fails to light or if pilot goes out when button is released, repeat steps 2-6. The thermocouple operates a thermal
switch that opens gas valve on heater. Thermocouple must be hot in order for switch to remain open.
Brooder Operation
To ignite the brooder, turn the gas valve knob to the ON position. The brooder will automatically shut itself off when the copper
bulb senses a temperature above the target. The target can be set with large dial on the front of the valve. Dial Settings: 1 =
58
°F, 2 = 62°F, 3 = 66°F…, 9 = 90° F
