PROPANE SUPPLY

You must provide propane gas and propane tank(s).

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 100-pound tanks needed to run the heater. Connect tanks together with a mani- fold. Do not operate this product with any tank smaller than 100 pounds.

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Two or more 100-pound tanks or one larger tank may be needed in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply system.

UNPACKING

1.Remove all packing items applied to heater for shipment. Keep plastic cover caps (attached to valve inlet and hose/ regulator assembly) for storage.

2.Remove all items from carton.

3.Check all items for shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer where you bought heater.

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 pilot fuel supply.

The Automatic Control System: The automatic control valve shuts off the heater if the flame goes out.
