The connection of Model 35-R to an LP-Gas cylinder must be made in a well ventilated area using the regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance. DO NOT attempt to adjust this regulator. It has been preset at the factory to provide safe and proper operation of the appliance. Use a 7/8” open end wrench to connect the POL fitting (supplied with the LP regulator) to the LP-Gas cylinder. Turn the POL nut in a counter-clockwise direction (left hand thread) until tight. DO NOT use pipe compound on POL threads.

The heater must be located at least six feet away from any LP-Gas cylinder and must not be directed toward any LP- Gas cylinder within 20 feet. If more than one heater is used, they and the supply cylinders must be separated by at least 20 feet.

The gas supply must be turned off at the LP-Gas supply cylinder when the heater is not in use.

When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection between the LP-Gas supply cylinder and the heater must be disconnected and the cylinder removed from the heater and stored in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases,ANSI/NF-PA 58 (U.S.), OR CAN/CGAB149.2 (Canada).

If connected to a permanently installed LP Gas supply system, the system requires the use of a two-stage gas regulator assembly which is normally provided by your LP-Gas dealer as part of the LP-Gas supply system. Consult with your local LP-Gas dealer for details concerning proper equipment and installation.

Piping must be clean and free from scale or burr.

Before attempting to ignite the appliance, all gas fittings and connections must be thoroughly checked for gas leaks. Apply a small amount of a mild soap and water solution to all fittings and connections and observe for escaping bubbles. If any leaks are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance immediately. Wait a minimum of five minutes, repair the leak(s) and retest for leakage. Dry all fittings and connections after leak testing.
