8. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-
proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use open fl ame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fi res
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property dam-
age, personal injury or loss of life.
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fi ttings and adapters upstream of the gas control
with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and proper
application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop
the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any leaks
are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to
prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that could
cause fl ashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fi ttings and joints
as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet
connections with approved gas leak detectors.
-- If a leak is detected, check the components
involved for cleanliness in the thread areas and
proper application of pipe compound before
further tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to stop
the leak.
-- If necessary, replace the parts or components
involved if the leak cannot be stopped.
-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identifi ed and
repaired before proceeding.
9. A qualifi ed service agency must check for proper
operating gas pressure upon installation of the
heater.

10. Light according to instructions on heater or
within owner's manual.
11. The heater must have the proper gas
regulator for the application. Use only the
L.B. White regulator originally supplied with
the heater. This regulator includes a POL
fi tting incorporating an excess fl ow valve. The
excess fl ow valve is a safety device which
protects against discharge from the propane
gas supply container if the regulator is broken
off. If the POL fi tting is ever replaced, it needs
to be replaced with an L.B. White POL fi tting.
Failure to do so can result in fi res, explosions,
loss of property, injury or death.
12. A regulator must be connected to the gas
supply so that the pressure to the inlet of
the gas control valve is regulated within the
range specifi ed on the dataplate at all times.
Contact your gas supplier or the L.B.white
Co., if you have any questions.
13. This heater is confi gured for use for propane
gas vapor withdrawal only. Do not use the
heater in an propane gas liquid withdrawal
system or application. If you are in doubt,
contact the L.B. White Co., Inc.
14. The heater must be installed so as not to
interfere with or obstruct normal exits, emer-
gency exits, doors and walkways.
15. Railing, fencing or suitable substitute
materials must be used to keep the heating
equipment from any people using and visiting
the structure.
16. The unit shall be located so that rain, ice,
or snow drainage from the structure does
not affect equipment operation. If the unit is
mounted outside, it must be mounted above
any pooled or standing water. If the unit is
to be located on the ground, a surrounding
trench is recommended to drain any rain, ice
or snow away from the unit.
17. The ground and surrounding terrain must be
cleared of any combustible vegetation and
other combustible materials when the heater
is mounted outside.
18. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical
devices, the thermostat can fail. Thermostat
failure may result in an underheating condi-
tion. The thermostat should be tested to
