THEORY OF OPERATION

The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas 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.
