OPERATION

After the heater is properly assembled and all
gas connections to the regulator have been
tested for gas tightness (Refer page 9, To test
for gas tightness.), the heater is ready for
operation.

Connecting gas bottle:

1 Slide the bottle cover up until it is clear of

the leg assembly and rests on top of legs
so that it will not fall down while you are
installing the bottle.

2 ALWAYS CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY

HOSE FOR DAMAGE BEFORE
PROCEEDING AND HAVE THE HOSE
REPLACED IF THERE ARE ANY
CRACKS, HOLES, ABRASION MARKS
OR SIGNS OF PERISHING.

3 Attach the regulator to the bottle NOTE: the

thread on the regulator tightens by turning
counter-clockwise.

4 Fully open the valve on the gas bottle and

check the connection for leaks as described
in the assembly instructions.

5 Replace the bottle cover so that it is resting

completely on the base, taking care not to
trap the gas supply hose against the legs.
