INSTALLATION

WARNING: Review and un- derstand the warnings in the Safety Information Section, page

2.They are needed to safely op- erate this heater. Follow all local codes when using this heater.

WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections for leaks after installing 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 POL fitting on hose/regulator assembly to propane tank(s). Turn POL fitting counterclockwise into threads on tank. Tighten firmly using

wrench. IMPORTANT: Tighten regu- lator with black adjustment knob point- ing down. Pointing adjustment knob down protects regulator from weather damage.

3.Connect hose to inlet connector. Tighten firmly using a wrench.

IMPORTANT: Extra hose or piping may be used if needed. Install extra hose or piping between hose/regulator assembly and propane tank. You must use the regulator supplied with the heater.
