INSTALLATION

User must provide propane gas and propane tank(s).

Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. The amount 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 propane tank. You may need two or more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Use a 45-kg tank for longer operation or in very cold weather. Less gas is vaporized at lower tempera- tures. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply system.

Average Temperature (°C)
At Tank Location	5°	0°	-7°	-12°	-18°	-23°	-29°
Number Of Tanks
(45-kg)	1	1	1	1	1	2	2

!WARNING

Review and understand the warnings in the Safety Informa- tion Section, pages 2 and 3. They are needed to safely oper- ate 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, above).

2.Connect fuel gas connector on hose/regulator assembly to propane tank(s). Tighten fi rmly using wrench. IMPORTANT: Position regulator so that hose leaving the regulator is in a horizontal position (see Figure 3). This places the regulator vent in the proper position to protect it from the weather.
