5. While depressing the valve knob, press red piezo ignition but-
ton to ignite. It may be necessary to press the ignitor button
several times to ignite the center burner panel.
6. Continue to hold valve knob down for 30 seconds after the
panel has lit. This will heat the thermocouple. After 30 sec-
onds, release the valve knob.
7. If heater fails to light, or does not stay lit, repeat Steps 2
through 6.
8. When the center burner panel stays lit, turn valve knob to
desired setting.
Moving and Positioning the Heater
There is a brake in each of the rear casters of your heater that
helps keep it in place when in use. To engage the brakes, push
the lever down on each castor. To move the heater, release the
brakes, simply by flipping the levers on both brakes up.
Shutdown Instructions
1. Close the LP cylinder by turning the LP cylinder valve
clockwise.
2. Turn the knob at the LP cylinder clockwise to the pilot position.
3. Disconnect Regulator Hose assembly from the LP cylinder.
Maintenance / Storage
Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator
assembly and remove the LP cylinder from the heater
before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason
the heater is to be stored indoors, the heater MUST be
disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the cylinder stored
outdoors in a well- ventilated area, out of the reach of chil-
dren. The plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied with
the LP cylinder must be reinstalled on the valve to protect
the fitting from damage.
NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done by a
qualified service person.
Save all packaging materials that came with your heater,
and re-package the heater for safe storage. Be sure to
inspect the heater before each use to look for any such
obstructions such as spiderwebs. Be sure to keep the air
passage-ways, burner and combustion areas clean. This
heater should receive a thorough cleaning at least once
every 30 days of operation. You may need to clean the
heater more often if conditions are naturally dirty.
Clean the Burner Panels using compressed air below 30
PSI to prevent damage to panels.
A yellow tip of the pilot flame indicates that the burner
area may be in need of cleaning.
Connecting to Gas Supply
IMPORTANT! Always use a propane (LP) cylinder that has a
connection device that is compatible with the hose and regulator
assembly supplied.
1. Remove the Back Cover by sliding the cover straight up and
away from the Heater Body. Place the LP cylinder on the
Bottom Plate and replace the Back Cover.
2. To connect LP cylinder, insert regulator end fitting into cylinder
valve, rotate coupling nut clockwise and tighten.
3. Open valve on propane cylinder slowly. If the valve is not
opened slowly, the excess flow check valve in the
regulator will stop the flow of gas. If this should happen, close
the valve, wait one minute (or until you hear the valve click),
and re-open, slowly.
VENTILATION
Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at
least 2,800 sq. cm for each 29 Kw/Hr. of heater output. Provide a
larger opening if more heaters are being used.
The Propane (LP) gas pressure regula-
tor and hose assembly supplied with the
heater must be used without alteration.
INSTALLATION
1. Inspect LP cylinder to ensure it is in good condition.
2. Remove the Back Cover by sliding the cover straight up and
away from the Heater Body. Place the LP cylinder on the
Bottom Plate and replace the Back Cover.
3. Connect regulator to a propane gas supply cylinder.
NOTE: Optimum efficiency is achieved when the heater uses
the appropriate full LP cylinder
4. Slowly open the LP cylinder. Leak test all gas connections with
50/50 soap and water solution prior to start-up. Soap bubbles
indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use a match or flame to test for
gas leaks.
Lighting Instructions
1. Open the LP cylinder by turning the LP cylinder valve counter-
clockwise.
2. Turn the Valve Knob on heater to the Pilot position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes for any gas to clear. Smell for gas. If
none is evident, proceed to the next step.
4. Push in the Valve Knob in pilot position.
NOTE: If this is first time use for heater or LP cylinder has been
replaced, hold the valve knob for approximately 30 seconds to
allow bleeding of air from system then turn valve knob to pilot
position.
