Safety Practices & Precautions
• Read and become familiar with the entire manual.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere, keep heater away from areas where gasoline or other
flammable liquids or vapors are stored or used.
• Before each use check for damaged parts such as hoses, regulators, pilot or burner.
• Do not attempt to alter unit in any manner, ie: shorten post length, bypass safety valve or operate
heater without the reflector.
• Heater must always be placed on a hard and level surface.
• Always maintain proper clearance to combustible materials. (Top 19’’ sides and rear 27”),
see page 12.
• Never replace or substitute the regulator with any other regulator other than a factory suggested
replacement.
• It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageways of the heater
must be kept clean. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a
qualified service person, for the presence of spiders, webs or other insects. The burner area is a
common and desired spider haven. Spider webs can present a dangerous condition which can
damage the heater and render it unsafe for use.

CONDITIONS EXIST
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flames.
2) The heater does not reach temperature.
3) The heater glow is excessively uneven.
4) The burner makes popping noises during use. (a slight popping noise is normal when the
burner is extinguished).
• Installation must be carried out in accordance with local regulations in force.
• Do not clean heater with combustible or corrosive cleaners.
• Do not use if wind velocity is greater than 10 miles per hour, because of flame out possibility.
• To avoid the risk of burns or accidental clothing ignition, do not touch the heater anywhere near the
burner assembly during operation.
• Do not touch the burner assembly or reflector shield until after the heater has cooled for
approximately 20 minutes after use.
• Carefully monitor young children in the vicinity of any operating heater.
• Never connect an unregulated gas supply.
• Always ensure that there is ample fresh air ventilation. this unit is for
outdoor use only.
• Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials from, on, or near the heater.
• A minimum inlet pressure must not exceed 100 psi.
• The heater is shipped from the factory for LP use. never substitute gases without first converting the
heater with a factory supplied conversion kit.
• A minimum supply pressure of 11.2 in W.C. is required for the purpose of input adjustment.
• Do not paint either the emitter screen, valve panel or reflector.
• All leak tests should be done with a soap solution.
• Matches should never be used for this purpose.
• The LP tank should be turned off when the heater is not in use.
• Do not install unit in basements or below ground level.
• Avoid twisting the flexible tube. Regularly check the gas supply hose for wear, replace as necessary.

pipe (fig. 01)
STEP 3
Locate the heater head assembly. Place the head
assembly on a stable horizontal surface. Please
