Installation To The Propane Gas Tank; Refilling The Propane Gas Tank - Dyna-Glo ANSI Z83.7-2000 Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION TO THE PROPANE GAS TANK:

IMPORTANT: You must use a propane/LP gas supply cylinder that is compatible with the connec-
tion device provided with the hose and regulator.
1. Provide propane/LP supply system (see Propane/LP Supply, page 6).
2. Connect fuel gas fitting hose/regulator assembly to propane LP tank(s). Turn fuel fitting counter-
clockwise into threads on tank. Tighten firmly using a wrench. IMPORTANT: Position regulator
so that hose leaving the regulator is in a horizontal position (see Figure 1)
3. Connect hose to heater inlet. Tighten firmly using a wrench. You must use the regulator supplied
with heater.
4. Open propane/LP supply valve on propane/LP tank(s) slowly. NOTE: If not opened slowly, excess
flow device in regulator may stop gas flow. If this happens, close propane/LP supply valve, wait
one minute (or until you hear a click) and open again slowly.
5. Check all connections for leaks. Apply a 50/50 solution of liquid dish soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected.
6. Close propane / LP supply valve before attempting to repair connection.
WARNING: Purging and filling of LP gas tanks must be performed by personnel who has
been thoroughly trained in accepted LP gas industry procedures. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

REFILLING THE PROPANE GAS TANK:

ALL NEW CYLINDERS MUST BE PURGED BEFORE THE FIRST FILLING.
• Turn heater gas valve knob and gas tank valve to OFF position.
• Propane tank valve equipped with the old style fitting has LEFT HANDED THREADS. Turn POL
fitting CLOCKWISE to loosen. Protect POL fitting when disconnected from tank.
• Have tank filled by your local Propane gas supplier.
• Some propane tanks have a bleed-off valve. This valve should be inspected for leaks after each fill-
ing of the tank. Turn clockwise to close the valve.
• Fasten full Propane tank and connect POL fitting to tank valve by turning COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE.
• With heater gas valve knob still in the OFF position, turn ON tank valve and check for leaks with
soap solution.
