THEORY OF	The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas
OPERATION	supply. This provides fuel to the heater.
	The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around
	the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.
	The Ignition System: The piezo ignitor lights the burner.
	The Automatic Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down
	if the flame goes out.	Fan

SUPPLY
	of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this
	amount:

1.The amount of propane gas in tank(s)

2.The temperature of tank(s)

This heater is designed to operate with a minimum 9-kg (20-pound) propane tank. You may need two or more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Use a 45-kg (100-pound) tank for longer operation or in very cold weather. Less gas is vapor- ized at lower temperatures. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply system.
