GAS REQUIREMENTS
Use LPG gas only.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly to be used must conform to local
standard codes.
The installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the standard for the storage and handling of liquid petroleum gases.
A dented, rusted or damaged LPG cylinder may be hazardous and should be
checked by your cylinder supplier. Never use an LPG cylinder with a damaged
valve connection.
The propane tank must be arranged to provide for vapor withdrawal from the
operating cylinder.
Never connect an unregulated LPG cylinder to the heater.
4.
LEAKAGE TEST
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap
solution can be applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will
appear in case of a leak.
The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.
Turn the gas supply ON.
In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn
the gas supply on and recheck.
Never leak test while smoking or near an open flame.
