contamination. If present, DO NOT USE HEATER. Have a qualified technician
disassemble LPG supply line and components to remove liquid fuel or oil before
use.
6.02 Place heater on secure level surface. Heater must be positioned such that it is not
directly exposed to wind, water, spray, rain and/or dripping water.
6.03 Connect LPG supply hose with first stage regulator assembly to a 20 or 40 LB.
approved cylinder. (First stage regulator should take bottle pressure down to
10 to 35 PSI.) Connect to heater by either a quick disconnect fitting or 9/16"
Left Hand threaded fitting. Tighten all connections.
Locate LPG gas cylinder at least 6Ft. from heater, in a position away from the
Direct path of radiant heat from the heater.
6.04 Turn on the fuel at cylinder and recheck all fittings for possible leaks using a soap
solution. Tighten any leaks found and retest. Never use a match to check for leaks.
