- Never place anything, including clothes or other flammable

items on heater.

- Do not modify heater, or operate a heater that has been

modified.

- Adequate clearance for accessibility, combustion and ventila-

tion (air supply) must be maintained at all times when heater is operating. Do not restrict air inlet or outlet areas of heater.

- Service and repair should be performed by a qualified service

person. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qualified person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. Do not service heater while hot or operating.

Connecting to Gas Supply

CAUTION

IMPORTANT! Always use a propane (LP) cylinder that has a connection device that is compatible with the hose and regulator assembly supplied.

1. Remove the Back Cover by sliding the cover straight up and away from the Heater Body. Place the LP cylinder on the Bottom Plate and replace the Back Cover.

2. To connect LP cylinder, insert regulator end fitting into cylinder valve, rotate coupling nut clockwise and tighten.

3. Open valve on propane cylinder slowly. If the valve is not opened slowly, the excess flow check valve in the regulator will stop the flow of gas. If this should happen, close the valve, wait one minute (or until you hear the valve click), and re-open, slowly.

VENTILATION

Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at least 2,800 sq. cm for each 29 Kw/Hr. of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being used.

The Propane (LP) gas pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the heater must be used without alteration.

INSTALLATION

1. Inspect LP cylinder to ensure it is in good condition.

2. Remove the Back Cover by sliding the cover straight up and away from the Heater Body. Place the LP cylinder on the Bottom Plate and replace the Back Cover.

3. Connect regulator to a propane gas supply cylinder.

NOTE: Optimum efficiency is achieved when the heater uses the appropriate full LP cylinder

4. Slowly open the LP cylinder. Leak test all gas connections with 50/50 soap and water solution prior to start-up. Soap bubbles indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use a match or flame to test for gas leaks.

Lighting Instructions

1. Open the LP cylinder by turning the LP cylinder valve counterclockwise.

2. Turn the Valve Knob on heater to the Pilot position.

3. Wait five (5) minutes for any gas to clear. Smell for gas. If none is evident, proceed to the next step.

4. Push in the Valve Knob in pilot position.

NOTE: If this is first time use for heater or LP cylinder has been

replaced, hold the valve knob for approximately 30 seconds to allow bleeding of air from system then turn valve knob to pilot position.

5. While depressing the valve knob, press red piezo ignition button to ignite. It may be necessary to press the ignitor button several times to ignite the center burner panel.

6. Continue to hold valve knob down for 30 seconds after the panel has lit. This will heat the thermocouple. After 30 seconds, release the valve knob.

7. If heater fails to light, or does not stay lit, repeat Steps 2 through 6.

8. When the center burner panel stays lit, turn valve knob to desired setting.

Moving and Positioning the Heater

There is a brake in each of the rear casters of your heater that helps keep it in place when in use. To engage the brakes, push the lever down on each castor. To move the heater, release the brakes, simply by flipping the levers on both brakes up.

Shutdown Instructions

1. Close the LP cylinder by turning the LP cylinder valve clockwise.

2. Turn the knob at the LP cylinder clockwise to the pilot position.

3. Disconnect Regulator Hose assembly from the LP cylinder.

Maintenance / Storage

Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator assembly and remove the LP cylinder from the heater before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason the heater is to be stored indoors, the heater MUST be disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the cylinder stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area, out of the reach of children. The plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied with the LP cylinder must be reinstalled on the valve to protect the fitting from damage.

NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done by a qualified service person.

Save all packaging materials that came with your heater, and re-package the heater for safe storage. Be sure to inspect the heater before each use to look for any such obstructions such as spiderwebs. Be sure to keep the air passage-ways, burner and combustion areas clean. This heater should receive a thorough cleaning at least once every 30 days of operation. You may need to clean the heater more often if conditions are naturally dirty. Clean the Burner Panels using compressed air below 30 PSI to prevent damage to panels. A yellow tip of the pilot flame indicates that the burner area may be in need of cleaning.
