"freezing up". Evaporation

 

 

and consumptioin rate of pro-

 

 

pane from supply tank is to

 

 

great for the size of the tank

 

 

and air temperature

1, Check all connections for leaks. Ap- ply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected

2.To obtain correct mixture of propane/ LP gas and air, use a larger cylinder size, i.e. 40 lb.(minimum) or 100 lb. See Propane Supply, page 4

3.A) Use a larger supply cylinder size, i.e. 40 lb. (minimum) or 100 lb.

B) Reduce consumption rate by op- erating the heater at "LOW" setting temorarily until frost disappears from the tank
