Always ensure that adequate fresh air ventilation is provided. Ceiling (28") 70cm • Always maintain proper clearance to combustible materials, i.e. top 45cm(18") and sides 70cm (28") minimum. • Heater must be placed on level firm ground. • Never operate heater in an explosive atmosphere like areas where gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors are stored. • To protect heater from strong wind, anchor the base securely to the ground with screws. • Water tank should be full of water or sand. Otherwise heater would filt. GAS REQUIREMENTS Wall (18") 45cm • Use LPG gas mixtures. • Maximum inlet pressure of propane regulator must not exceed 100 PSI. • 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 codes, with standard codes. • The installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of codes, with the standard for storage and handling of liquid petroleum gases. • A dented, rusted or damaged propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your tank supplier. Never use a propane tank with a damaged valve connection. • The propane tank must be arranged to provide for vapor withdrawal from the operating cylinder. • Never connect an unregulated propane tank to the heater. 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. • The heater must be checked with a full cylinder. • Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position. • 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. • Leakage test points. See pictures below. • 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.Contact your dealer for assistance if bubbles continue to appear. Never leak test while smoking. FUEL GAS ODOR LP gas and natural gas have manmade odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks. If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. Since Propane (LP)is heavier than air you should smell for the gas odor low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION! • Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do not operate any electrical switches.Do not pull any power supply or extension cords. Do not light matches or any other source of flame. Do not use your telephone. • Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately. • Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane leak, keep out of all low areas. • Use your neighbor's phone and call your fuel gas supplier and your fire department. Do not reenter the buiding or area. • Stay out of the building and away from the area until declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas supplier. • FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the building and area before you return. Properly trained service people must repair any leaks, check for further leakages, and then relight the appliance for you. PROBLEMS CHECK LIST PROBLEMS PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS Pilot will not light Gas valve may be OFF Tank fuel empty Opening blocked Air in supply system Loose connection Turn the gas valve ON Refill LPG tank Clean or replace opening Purge air from lines Check all fittings Pilot will not stay on Burner will not light Debris around pilot Loose connections Thermocouple bad Gas leak in line Lack of fuel pressure Pressure is low Opening blocked Control not on Thermocouple bad Pilot light assembly bent Not in correct location Clean dirty area Tighten connections Replace thermocouple Check connections Tank near empty. Refill LPG tank. Tank near empty. Refill LPG tank. Remove and clean Turn valve to ON Replace thermocouple Place pilot properly Position properly and retry
