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

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 decide this amount.

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

2.The temperature of tank(s)

The chart below shows the minimum number of 45 kg (100 lb) tanks needed to run the heater. Connect tanks together with a manifold.
