INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE LIGHTING, OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN

WHEN CONNECTING HEATER TO BULK TANK

The LP-gas supply cylinder to be used:

-Must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

-Must be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.

-Must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the No. 600 valve connection of the heater.

Do not connect the heater to propane tanks greater than 20 pounds LPG capacity (5 pounds water capacity) without checking with your local fire department. The LP-gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

The pressure regulator and hose assembly sup- plied with the heater must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specific by the heater manufacturer.

This heater may be used in a recreational enclo- sure or temporary construction work enclosure with a remote refillable propane cylinder ONLY when the cylinder is located outdoor and the heater is used with Paulin hose kit number 4122 or 3123 (Figure 7).

NEVER bring a refillable propane cylinder in- doors. A fire or explosion can occur causing property damage, serious injury or death.

Inspect the hose before each use of the heater. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater being put into operation. The re- placement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.

Connecting Heater to Bulk Propane Tank: Always connect the heater to an outside bulk tan kin the outdoors. NEVER connect this heater to a bulk tank near an open flame.

USE OF HEATER:

Always use your hater in an upright position on a level noncombustible surface in a location where it could not be accidently tipped over by humans or animals. NEVER place the heater or propane tank on its side or in a horizontal position when operating as this could lead to dangerous flare up or fire. Pick heater up by handle and return to upright position. Make certain control knob is in the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes before relighting to allow propane in tank to stabilize.

Screw appropriate end of the hose into the heater regulator and the other end into the propane tank valve. Tighten connections at both ends.

Before each use look through opening at back of heater and look at connection at tank valve to check connections with soap solution to be sure there are no leaks (Figure 3). Never check for leaks with a match. DO NOT USE HEATER if bubbles form from the soap solution, if you smell gas, or if there are any other leaks in your propane system.

Open propane tank valve.

Depress completely and turn control knob counterclockwise to PILOT position and hold for 15-30 seconds allowing gas to flow to the pilot. You may have to hold longer depending on hose length.

Keeping the control knob depressed, turn from the PILOT to the OFF position and immediately back to the PILOT position to utilize spark igniter.

Repeat the PILOT-OFF-PILOT sequence until the pilot lights.

Continue to depress the control knob at the PILOT position for 15-30 seconds to activate the Pilot Light Safety System.

NOTE: If the spark igniter fails to light the pilot, turn knob OFF, allow at least 2 minutes for gas to dissipate and light with a match.

Release control knob after the pilot is lit and Immediately turn to HIGH position to light heater.

NOTE: Within a few minutes the ceramic tile will develop a steady bright orange glow ex- cept for a 1/4’’ border along its outside edges. When lit the first time, the top of the reflector will discolor to a bluish-brown.

Adjust heat output by depressing control knob slightly and turning to LOW or HIGH position. To shut off heater, push down control knob and turn clockwise to OFF position.

Close propane tank valve. The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the heater is not in use.

When the LP-gas supply cylinder is not discon- nected from the heater, the heater and the cylinder must be stored outdoors, in a well ventilated space, out of the reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Indoor storage of the heater is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the heater.
