PROPANE SUPPLY

Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be furnished by the user.

Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA B149.2. Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.

The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors de- cide this amount.

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

2.The temperature of tank(s)

The chart below shows the minimum num- ber of 45 kg (100 lb) tanks needed to run the heater. Connect tanks together with a mani- fold. Do not operate this product with any tank smaller than 45 kg (100 lb).

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. You may need two or more 45 kg (100 lb.) tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply system. The mini- mum surrounding air temperature rating for each heater is -29°C (-20°F).

THEORY OF

OPERATION

The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas sup- ply. This provides fuel to the heater.

The Ignition System: The piezo ignitor lights the burner fuel supply.

The Automatic Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down if the flame goes out.

WARNING: Provide at least a

.56 m2 (6 ft2) opening of fresh, outside air while running heater. If proper fresh, outside air venti- lation is not provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air ventilation before running heater.
