OPERATION

CAUTION: Do not stand in front of heater while lighting. Stand at the side when lighting the heater.

Use only a 20 lb. propane/LP cylinder (not included). See safety information for proper cylinder selection. Connect the hose/regulator assembly to the cylinder (see Figure 4). The hose should already be connected to the heater. When connecting regulator assembly to cylinder valve, hand tighten nut clockwise to a positive stop. DO NOT use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage quick closing coupling nuts and result in a hazardous condition.
