1. GENERAL
These installation and operating instructions
are intended for Series 4SN/L5 and 4BN/L6
Heaters. This appliance is an infrared fixed
post patio, deck and garden heater for operation with Natural Gas (4SN5 and 4BN6) or Propane (4SL5 and 4BL6).
The burner is controlled and adjusted by the
gas control knob at the top of the heater, and
the gas supply is fed up through the inside of
the pole using flexible gas hose. All installa-
2. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This heater must only be serviced by a trained
gas service technician. Failure to comply could
result in personal injury, death, fire and/or property damage.
The Series 4SN/L5 and 4BN/L6 Heaters must
always maintain the proper clearance to combustible materials. (Top 18” sides 24” below
24”). Do not use this heater in an explosive
atmosphere. Keep heater away from areas
where gasoline or other flammable liquids or
vapors are stored.
tions must conform to the following installation
requirements, as well as local and national
code requirements, including the current CAN/
CGA-B149.1-00 (latest edition) installation
code and the ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) for
the U.S.A. for gas burning appliances and
equipment. Due to possible Code or Standard
changes, revision to equipment and installation
procedures may be necessary. In case of discrepancies, the latest installation manual, local
and national codes will take priority.
WARNING:
Improper operation, installation, adjustment, alteration, servicing or maintenance
can cause severe property damage, serious injury or death.
Carefully read this User Guide before installing and setting up the heater.
3. GAS SUPPLY:
NATURAL GAS PROPANE
The heater comes pre-piped with a flexible
hose assembly inside the pole with 3/8” male
flared fitting for hook-up to a 5” w.c. Natural
Gas supply.
This heater requires a natural gas pressure
regulator (not supplied). Heaters may be connected to a regulator individually or in zones.
Regulators must be properly sized and adequate for each particular installation.
As per code requirements, and for your safety a complete gas tightness check of all connections
and hoses must be performed at the installation site, prior to use.
TO LEAK TEST: also refer to Leak Test procedures on page 8
Make a soapy solution part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be
applied liberally to all gas system connections with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear where a gas leak is present. If bubbles appear, valve off the gas supply.
Repairs must be made by a trained gas service technician.
Page 1
The heater comes equipped with a hose assembly for hook-up to a propane gas supply.
Never use a propane supply with a
damaged valve connection.
Never connect an unregulated propane
supply to the heater

6. CONNECTION AND TESTING:
NATURAL GAS CONNECTION:
Connect the natural gas supply line to the flexible hose at the base of the post as per local or
national gas code.
A 5”w.c. gas pressure regulator is required (not supplied) after the shut off valve to each
heater or zone.
PROPANE CONNECTION:
Connect the propane gas supply line to the flexible hose at the base of the pole as per local
or national gas code.
A 10”w.c. gas pressure regulator is required (not supplied) after the shut off valve to each
heater or zone.
WARNING
LEAK TEST:
This heater must only be serviced by a trained gas service technician. Failure to comply could result in
personal injury, death, fire and/or property damage.
Now that the heater is assembled, for safety a leak test of all connections and hoses must be
performed.
Mix equal parts of water and soap, apply mixture liberally to all gas connections.
1. Ensure that the heater gas control knob is fully closed by turning
completely clockwise.
2. Open the gas supply valve
3. Apply the soap solution generously to all connections and hoses.
If bubbles are detected, there IS a leak.
Close gas supply valve completely.
Retighten the leaking connection and repeat leak test process, until ALL leaking has ceased, no
matter how small.
If the leak cannot be repaired permanently, close the gas supply valve completely. A trained gas
service technician must replace any defective part(s).

7. A SAFE LOCATION FOR THE HEATER:
Caution:
The main application of this heater is to provide radiant heat comfort in the outdoors, at
poolside, spa areas, terraces, patios and work
areas, etc.
It is necessary to provide “wind breaks”,
against wind and breezes to maximize com-
If objects are left under a heater in operation,
such objects will be subject to radiant heat.
Always maintain at least the minimum certified clearances to combustibles from the
heater to any adjacent combustible materials.
Refer to Fig 12 below.
fort.
NOTE : This heater is approved for outdoor use only:
Always maintain minimum clearances to combustibles as shown in figure 12 below.
Install heater on a level, solid and stable surface.
Do not install in an explosive environment. Keep away from areas where gas vapours
are present or inflammable liquids are stored or used.
In case of high winds, completely shut-off the heater and gas valve. Remove reflector
dome if necessary
7. 1 CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES:
The clearances to combustibles represent a surface temperature of 90F° (50C°) above ambient
temperature.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that materials with a low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures are protected to prevent degradation.
Maintain clearances as shown:
Sides of Reflector: 24 inches
Above Reflector: 18 inches
Below Reflector: 24 inches

9.1 STORAGE
When heater is not in use for a prolonged period of time verify that the gas valve is fully and
tightly closed.
To avoid damage, the reflector may be removed and stored separately in a secure location.
9.2 PREVENTATIVE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The burner area is likely to attract spiders, especially inside the gas orifice. Regularly, and at
least once a year, the heater should be inspected for spider webs, insects, and debris around
burners and orifices. A plugged orifice will obstruct the gas flow to the burner. This will result in
burner malfunction and possible damage.
Have heater inspected by a trained gas service technician if.…..
You smell gas
Heater does not provide expected heat capacity or flame appearance is abnormal
Burner makes popping sounds while operating (other than when shutting down). When
heater is warming up or cooling down a pinging metallic noise is normal.
9.3 SAFETY
Check periodically for leaks in the system, or immediately when you smell gas.
In case a leak is detected, extinguish all open flames in the area.
Never leak test while smoking.
If you cannot repair a leak, turn off gas supply at the supply valve and contact your gas sup-
plier
or a qualified, licensed gas technician.
Do not alter or modify this heater in any way
