OPERATION STORAGE MAINTENANCE

OPERATIONSTORAGE

WARNING: Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation requirements. If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon monoxide poison- ing can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air ven- tilation before running heater.

WARNING: Review and understand the warnings in the Safety Information section, page 2. They are needed to safely operate this heater. Follow all local codes when using this heater.

TO START HEATER

1.Follow all installation, ventilation and safety information.

2.Locate heater on stable and level surface. Make sure strong drafts do not blow into front or rear of heater.

3.Make sure the control knob is in the OFF position.

4.Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long, UL/CSA listed, and of a proper size.

Extension Cord Size Requirement

Up to 100 feet long, use 16 AWG rated cord.

101 to 200 feet long, use 14 AWG rated cord.

5.Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, 3-hole, grounded outlet. Motor will start. Fan will turn, forcing air out front of heater.

6.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. You may hear a click from the excess-flow check valve closing. If this happens, reset the excess-flow check valve by closing propane supply valve and open again slowly.

7.Press and hold in control knob. Turn counterclockwise to the LOW position. Heater should ignite within a few seconds.

Note: If heater fails to ignite, hose may have air in it. If so, keep control knob pressed and wait 20 seconds. Release auto- matic control valve button and wait 20 seconds for unburned fuel to exit heater. Repeat step 7.

8.After heater ignites, wait 30 seconds. This activates the auto- matic control system. Release the control knob.

9.When burner remains lit, set heater at the desired heat level by turning the control valve counterclockwise. If burner goes out, turn off gas. Turn control knob fully clockwise to the lowest position. Check fuel supply. If adequate fuel is available, re- start heater beginning at step 1.

CAUTION: Disconnect heater from propane sup- ply tank(s).

1.Store propane tank(s) in safe manner. See Chapter 5 of Stan- dard for Storage and Handling of Liqueﬁed Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.2. Follow all local codes. Always store propane tanks outdoors.

2.Place plastic cover caps over brass ﬁttings on inlet connector and hose/regulator assembly.

3.Store in dry, clean, and safe place. Do not store hose/regulator assembly inside heater combustion chamber.

4.When taking heater out of storage, always check inside of heater. Insects and small animals may place foreign objects in heater. Keep inside of heater free from combustible and for- eign objects.

MAINTENANCE

WARNINGS

•Never service heater while it is plugged in, con- nected to propane supply, operating, or hot. Se- vere burns and electrical shock can occur.

•Keep heater clear and free from combustible mate- rials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

•Do not block the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

1.Keep heater clean. Clean heater annually or as needed to re- move dust and debris. If heater is dirty or dusty, clean heater with a damp cloth. Use household cleaners on difficult spots.

2.Inspect heater before each use. Check connections for leaks. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to connections. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

3.Inspect hose/regulator assembly before each use. If hose is highly worn or cut, replace with hose specified by manufacturer.

4.Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service agency.

5.Keep inside of heater free from combustible and foreign ob- jects. Remove motor and other internal parts if needed to clean inside of heater (see Service Procedures, page 7).

6.Clean fan blades each season or as needed (see Fan, page 8).

TO STOP HEATER

1.Tightly close propane supply valve on propane tank(s).

2.Wait a few seconds. Heater will burn gas left in supply hoses.

3.Turn control knob to the OFF position.

4.Unplug heater.
