3.Connect hose to valve inlet (see Figure 7). Tighten ﬁrmly us- ing a wrench.

IMPORTANT: Use extra hose or piping if needed. Install ex- tra hose or piping between hose/regulator assembly and pro- pane tank. You must use the regulator supplied with heater.

4.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. You may hear a click from the excess-flow check valve closing. If this happens, reset the excess-flow check valve by closing propane supply valve and open again slowly.

5.Check all connections for leaks. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected.

6.Close propane supply valve.

OPERATION

WARNING: Review and understand the warnings in the Safety Information section, page 2. They are needed to safely operate this heater. Follow all local codes when using this heater.

TO START HEATER

1.Follow all installation, ventilation, and safety information.

2.Locate heater on stable and level surface. Make sure strong drafts do not blow into front or rear of heater.

3.Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded exten- sion cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long. Exten- sion cord must be UL listed.

Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements

•Up to 50 ft long, use 18 AWG rated cord.

•51 to 100 ft long, use 16 AWG rated cord.

•101 to 200 ft long, use 14 AWG rated cord.

4.Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, 3-hole, grounded outlet. Motor will start. Fan will turn, forcing air out front of heater.

5.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. You may hear a click from the excess-flow check valve closing. If this happens, reset the excess-flow check valve by closing propane supply valve and open again slowly.

WARNING: Be sure motor and fan are running before pushing in automatic control valve button. Flames could flash outside heater if motor and fan are not running.

6.Push in and hold automatic control valve button (see Figure 8). Push piezo ignitor button (see Figure 8). Keep pushing ig- nitor button until the burner lights. When burner lights, keep automatic control valve button pushed in. Release button after 30 seconds. This activates the automatic control system.

Note: If heater fails to ignite, hose may have air in it. If so, keep automatic control valve button pressed and wait 20 seconds. Re- lease automatic control valve button and wait 20 seconds for un- burned fuel to exit heater. Repeat this step.
