soap and water to all joints.

2. Connect fuel gas fitting on hose/regulator
assembly to propane tank(s). Turn fuel

regulator supplied with heater even if

tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly,

this is the check valve closing. To reset the
excess flow check valve, close propane
supply valve and open again slowly.
