See Pages 4-17 and 4-18 of this Training Manual for
general instructions on replacing the orifice. Use only
factory authorized replacement parts for fuel conver-
sions. See Repair Parts, Page 5-3, for information on
Gas Orifice Kits. Follow instructions included with
Conversion Kits when converting the heater from nat-
ural gas to Propane or vice versa.

Explosion hazard. Improper installa-
tion, service or maintenance can cause an explo-
sion or fire resulting in death, serious injury or
property damage.
Warranty is void if heater has been improperly
installed, serviced, or maintained.
Explosion hazard with Propane gas
heaters. Propane gas is heavier than air and will
settle to the ground or floor. Do not install a
heater using Propane gas in pits or other loca-
tions where gas might collect. Follow the require-
ments for heater location as specified by the Standard
for Storage and Handling of Liquifed Petroleum
Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition) so that the
heater is installed a safe distance from Propane gas
storage and filling equipment.
