LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) For Your Safety

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

It is non-toxic, odorless and colorless when produced. LP gas h

as been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can

be detected.

Propane Tank Use (20 lb. Refillable) The 20 lb. LP tank used with your patio heater must meet the following requirements:

• Purchase LP tanks only with these required measurements: 12" (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb (9 kg.) capacity maximum.

• Tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP tank of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA B-339,tanks, spheres, and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods, Transport Canada (TC). See LP tank collar for marking.

• LP tank valve must have:

–Type 1 outlet compatible with adapter hose. –Safety relief valve. –UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety

feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel.

• Supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP tank valve.

LP Tank Filling (20 lb. Refillable)

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP tank

must be purged before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank volume.

•

A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.

•

To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance.

Check the telephone director

under

“Gas companies”

for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Tank Exchange

You may choose to replace your empty LP tank through an exchange ser

vice.

Use only those reputable exchange companies

tha

t inspect,

precision fill,

test and certify their tanks.

Exchange

for OPD safety feature equipped tank as described in LP tank.

• Always keep LP tank in upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test LP tank BEFORE connecting to Patio Heater.

• Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.

•

Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; and

• If the instructions above are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

IMPORTANT!

Leak Testing (20 lb. Refillable) For your safety

• DO NOT CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME.

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• The Patio Heater must be leak checked outdoors in a wellventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep Patio Heater away from open flames or sparks.

Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50 soap and water solution.

Use

mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents.

Damage to gas train components can result. Brush soapy solution onto the shaded areas shown below.

onnecting the Adapter Hose to the LP Tank

1. Use only adapter hose approved by safety testing organizations (CSA, UL, etc).

2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop

4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve.

5. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.

6. Hold hose end, insert nipple (A) into LP tank valve. Hand tighten coupling nut, holding connector in a straight line with LP

tank valve

(B) so as not to cross thread the connection.

7. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid stop. The hose-end will seal on the back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance.

An additional one-half to three quarters turn is required to complete connection. Tighten by hand only—do not use tools.

NOTE: If you cannot complete connection, disconnect hose-end and

repeat steps 6 and 7. If you are still unable to complete the connection,

do not use this connector!

HOSE CHECK

Before each use, check to see if hose is cut or worn. Replace damaged hose and regulator before using Patio Heater. Use only hose and regulator assembly specified by manufacturer.

Use only tanks equipped with this type of valve. Tank must be upright in use.
