WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Turn off the gas supply to the heater
before performing any service or maintenance.
Failure to follow these instructions will
result in death, injury or property damage.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug the electrical cord from the outlet
before performing any service maintenance.
Failure to follow these instructions will
result in death, injury or property damage.

located under the adjustment screw. Remove the spring kit from the
conversion kit, and compare the part number of the kit to the parts
you are converting, install the new spring with the adjustment screw
about (5) full rotations in the clockwise direction. Place conversion
label supplied with the spring kit on the valve near the adjustment
screw cover.
Step 3.
After converting the valve, remove the gas supply line to the unit
and remove the manifold by turning the four screws in a counterclockwise direction. This will allow the valve and manifold to pull
straight out from the burners.
Step 4.
Remove the three orifices from the manifold with a ½” open end
wrench. Turn them counter-clockwise to remove. Take the new
number stamped on the side of the orifice matches the number for
the kit you are using. If it does not, immediately contact Mr. Heater,
manifold, using caution not to cross thread.
Step 1.
Caution the gas supply shall be shut off prior to disconnecting
the electrical power, before proceeding with the conversion.
Step 2.
Remove and discard cap from gas valve/regulator with a flat blade
screw driver by turning the cap counter-clockwise. Remove the
regulator adjustment screw in the same manner. Do not discard
the screw after removing. Remove and discard the spring that is

Step 7
Reconnect thermostat, connect in main power supply, and turn main
gas supply on.
Step 8
Turn up thermostat to call for heat.
Step 9
When burner lights, set the manifold gas pressure by turning the
adjustment screw that holds the regulator spring that was replaced
in step 6, of the unit covers.
The Natural Gas unit should be set to (4” W.C.) and the LP unit
should be set to (10” W.C.). The manometer illustration
(See Figure 2) shows each of the pressure readings.

Step 11
Disconnect manometer from appliance and replace test plug on
valve.
Step 12
Connect main power, turn main gas back on, and turn up
thermostat to call for heat. When main burner lights check all
connections thoroughly for gas leaks.
Allow the heater to operate for at least 5 minutes, then observe
the main burner flame. A hard blue flame extending into the
tube is normal. Slight yellow tipping is acceptable. There is no air
adjustment on burner.
Step 13
To ensure the correct rate is obtained, the orifice size should be
verified during and after installation. The orifice size for Natural Gas
is (.074”) and for LP the size is (.046”). These sizes are stamped on
the side of the orifice. There are three (3) orifices for the
MHU/HSU-45 heaters and five (5) orifices for the MHU/HSU-75
heaters. The manifold pressure should be verified after installation
so that a natural gas pressure of (4”WC) or an LP pressure of (10”WC)
is obtained. Enerco Group Inc is confident that with proper orifices and
correct manifold pressure, your MHU/HSU heater will be operating at
its correct BTU rating.
