C. READING PRESSURES

1. Start the heater. With the heater operating, the

pressure gauge should read the pressure specified

on the dataplate or in the specification section of this

owner’s manual.

2. Does the pressure reading at the inlet of the safety

control agree with that given on the dataplate? If so,

no further checking or adjustment is required.

Proceed to section D.

3. If the inlet pressures do not agree with that specified

on the dataplate, then check the following:

-- Improper regulator for heater.

-- Regulator out of adjustment. (Replace if

necessary).

-- Blockage in gas hose.

-- Insufficient size or quantity of propane gas supply

containers.

D. COMPLETION

1. Once the proper inlet pressure has been confirmed,

close fuel supply valves.

2. Allow heater to burn off fuel remaining in gas supply

line.

3. Remove gauge, hose adapter, nipple and tee.

4. Reconnect hose adapter to inlet of safety control

valve and hose to hose adapter.

5. Tighten all connections securely and check for gas

leaks.
