INSTALLATION OPERATION

INSTALLATION

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.

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installation or servicing. Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

1.Provide propane supply system (see Propane Supply, page 3).

2.Connect fuel gas fitting on hose/regulator assembly to pro- pane tank(s). Turn fuel gas fitting counterclockwise into threads on tank. Tighten firmly using a wrench. IMPORTANT: Tighten regulator with vent pointing down. Pointing vent down pro- tects regulator from weather damage.

3.Connect hose to the valve inlet. Tighten firmly using a wrench. You must use the regulator supplied with heater even if pro- pane tank has one.

4.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank may stop gas flow. If this happens, you may hear a click inside the regulator assembly, this is the check valve closing. To re- set the excess flow check valve, close propane supply valve and open again slowly.

5.Check all connections for leaks. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected.

6.Close propane supply valve.

ROPANE CONSTRUCTION CONVECTION HEATER specifications

The Desa Ropane Construction Convection Heater is an efficient and durable heating solution designed for both residential and commercial use. This portable heater provides rapid warmth and is ideal for construction sites, workshops, garages, and other large, open areas where traditional heating methods may not be practical.

One of the standout features of the Desa Ropane heater is its robust propane fuel source. Propane is known for its efficiency and high heat output, making it suitable for spaces that require immediate warmth. The heater is designed to deliver impressive heat levels quickly, ensuring that users remain comfortable even in the harshest conditions.

The heater employs convection heating technology, which means it warms the air around it. This method not only heats the space efficiently but also maximizes circulation, allowing for consistent warmth throughout the area. Unlike radiant heaters, which primarily heat objects and people directly in front of them, convection heaters distribute warmth evenly, making them ideal for larger spaces.

Built with durability in mind, the Desa Ropane heater features a sturdy construction that can withstand the rigors of job sites. It’s constructed with high-quality materials that ensure longevity and reliability in demanding environments. The heater's design includes safety features such as a safety shut-off valve, which helps prevent accidents and enhances user safety.

Another significant characteristic of the Desa Ropane heater is its portability. The heater is lightweight and comes equipped with convenient handles, allowing users to easily move it from one location to another as needed. This feature is particularly beneficial for construction professionals who frequently relocate their equipment.

The heater is also designed with user-friendliness in mind. It typically includes easy-to-operate controls, allowing users to adjust settings quickly and efficiently. Additionally, maintenance is straightforward, making it easy for owners to ensure their heater operates at optimal levels.

In summary, the Desa Ropane Construction Convection Heater is a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly heating solution for anyone needing powerful warmth in large, open spaces. Its propane-powered efficiency, convection heating technology, robust construction, and portability make it an essential tool for construction workers and tradespeople alike.
