Do not fully tighten until Step 2. Attach small ‘S’ hook on Tank Restraint Chain to left leg.

Owner’s manual: model 200605C outdoor patio heater

Contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

Do not return to place of purchase.

Step 2 – Attach Platform to Legs

Line up hole in Clip with small threaded hole on bottom of Platform. Attach Clip loosely to Platform with (1) Large Screw. Note: Do not tighten until step 9. Using 7/16” wrench, secure Platform to Legs using (2) Small Bolts, (2)

Small Lock Washers and (2) Small Nuts per Leg. Tighten fully. Fully tighten all nuts and bolts from Step 1.

TIP:

To tighten use a 7/16” wrench on Bolt and a 7/16” socket wrench on Nut.

Step 3 – Attach Weight Plate to Base

Lay Base Assembly on its side. Place Weight Plate in Base, feet out. Note: If you plan to anchor your heater permanently, be sure to line up

two outer holes in Base with those in Weight Plate so that your anchor bolt will pass through both holes.

Do not return to place of purchase.

Step 4 – Insert Gas Line through Platform/Attach Shroud Cover

Insert Gas Line up through large hole in Platform from underneath between center and left leg as shown in illustration.

Slide Shroud Cover over Gas Line, then over Platform/Leg assembly until bottom of Shroud rests on Base.

Step 5 – Attach Engine to Post

Lay Engine Assembly on its side, using carton for support. Remove and save Control Knob. Remove and save Engine Access Panel by removing (1) black

Thumbscrew from bottom of Access Door. Disconnect wire from Igniter by gently pulling wire from back of box. Align (4) holes in top of Post with (4) holes in bottom of Engine. Note: One hole is at a different level than the rest. Make sure that all 4

holes line up properly. Insert (4) Small Screws enough to hold Engine in place. They will be fully

Step 6 – Attach Engine/Post to Platform

Insert end of Post without holes over Gas Line, being careful not to bend Gas Line.

Slide Post into collar of Platform so Post rests completely on Platform. Tighten bottom three setscrews with hex (Allen) wrench supplied. Make sure Post is perpendicular to Base. Use top three setscrews to adjust Post’s angle as necessary. Tighten all six setscrews. Note: Post must be perpendicular to Base. Failure to do so will

adversely affect burner performance.

Step 7 – Connect Gas Line to Engine

Attach Gas Line to Control Valve: Pull collar of Gas Line back. Insert Gas Line over Control Valve. Release collar and it should lock in place. (Tip – push Gas Line up from

bottom of Post to make a good seating before releasing the collar.) Gently tug on line to test for proper connection. If Gas Line moves

Step 8 – Assemble dome

Note: Each dome section has a pin mounted in place in the rolled bottom edge. If necessary for proper alignment of dome sections, loosen each screw prior to further assembly and retighten after sections are aligned.

• With the large side facing up, slide a dome rib on to the same side of one dome section as the pin. Slide two dome sections together, allowing the exposed end of the pin slide into the rolled edge of the next dome section. Line up hole in dome with threaded hole in pin.

• Insert one Dome Screw and secure loosely.

• Repeat procedure to complete the assembly of all three sections.

• Slide Dome bolt through bottom check plate (with small center hump), being sure that the rolled edge faces down.

• Slide bolt from previous step through the center of the assembled dome sections, and be sure that the rolled edge of the check plate fits inside of the ends of the three Dome Ribs. Also be sure that the slots in the check plate line up with the holes on the dome sections.

• Slide the other check plate over the Center bolt with the rolled edge facing up, again making sure that the plate fits inside of the Ribs and the holes line up with those in the dome.

• Spin the medium nut all the way down the bolt, clamping all of the pieces in place, making sure that all of the humps fit inside one another.

• Fully tighten all of the screws in the rolled edge.

Step 9 – Attach Dome to Emitter

Line up holes in dome assembly with the studs from the emitter assembly and lay dome assembly in place. Secure with three nuts.
