Operation
Use only a 20 lb. propane/LP cylinder (not included). See safety information for proper cylinder selection. Connect hose/regulator assembly to propane cylinder (see Figure 12). Hose should already be connected to heater. When connecting regulator assembly to cylinder valve, hand tighten nut clockwise to a positive stop. DO NOT use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may damage quick closing coupling nuts and result in a hazard- ous condition.
Route retention chain through at least one handle of propane/LP tank (see Figure 12). Make sure to route chain through handle on tank and NOT around tank valve. Chain must not interfere with valve. Attach hooks on both ends of chains to ring retainers installed on burner support plate. See Figure 7, page 6.

BURNER OPERATION
