GENERAL HAZARD WARNING: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS HEATER, CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM HAZARDS OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN, ASPHYXIATION, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, AND/OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK. ONLY PERSONS WHO CAN UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD USE OR SERVICE THIS HEATER.
ABOUT APPLICATIONS. Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products in specific applications. Your local authority can advise you about these. SPECIFICATIONS Model …………………………………………………….…. FVNP-400 Input …………………………………………………….…... 390,000 btuh Fuel …………………………………………………………. Propane / Natural Gas Manifold Pressure ………………………………………….
The installation of this heater for use with natural gas shall conform with local codes or, in the absence of codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-00. This heater must be installed by a qualified gas technician, following local codes published by the authority having jurisdiction.

PIPING: This heater must be installed by a qualified gas technician following local codes published by the authority having jurisdiction. Sizing of supply piping must be determined using the length of pipe run as well as total btuh rating of the appliance(s). Appropriate piping tables must be used to determine size of supply piping dependant on the length of run from source.

FV SERIES CONSTRUCTION HEATER – VENTING REQUIREMENTS 1. VERTICAL FLUE TERMINATIONS VERTICAL FLUE RUN HORIZONTAL FLUE RUN - RISE RATIO 1:10 FLUE OUTLET OF HEATER 2. HORIZONTAL FLUE TERMINATIONS FLUE OUTLET OF HEATER EXTERIOR WALL VENT TERMINATION MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 2FT HIGHER THAN ANY POINT WITHIN 10FT.
MAINTENANCE: 1. Every construction heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qualified service person. Incorrect maintenance my result in improper operation of the heater and serious injury could occur. 2. Service and maintenance should only be done by a qualified service person. The hose assemblies shall be visually inspected prior to each use of the heater.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS: Be sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. Ensure electrical cord is grounded and heater is on a level surface. Plug in supply cord to 115v, 15amp outlet. Move switch to “MANUAL” position for manual control. Move switch to “THERMOSTAT”...
IF HEATER FAILS TO START: Press manual reset button at rear of burner. Check gas pressure supply. Supply and manifold pressure must follow those on rating plate. Ensure proper power supply and extension cord is being used. If heater fails to ignite after 3 attempts, call your supplier for service. SAFE OPERATION PRECAUTIONS: For use with propane or natural gas only.
COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENTS: NOTE: Proper combustion air adjustment must be achieved using a certified combustion analyzer to ensure complete combustion. The air adjustment should be made to achieve 10% CO on natural gas and 12% CO on propane. SETTING THE AIR ADJUSTMENT PLATE A) Regulation of the combustion air flow is made by adjustment of the manual AIR ADJUSTMENT PLATE (1) after loosening the FIXING SCREWS (2 and 3).

TEMPERATURE FEELER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (ATTACHED TO FAN SWITCH) The temperature feeler gauge is required to be always touching the heater exchanger. The temperature feeler gauge controls the air flow over the fan switch, which eliminates any unnecessary fan cycling. The temperature feeler gauge can be adjusted for different outside temperatures, by rotating the location of the temperature feeler gauge holes.
In extreme cold conditions, cover the holes on the temperature feeler gauge using foil tape. Ensure that the temperature feeler gauge is readjusted for warmer weather conditions. Failure to do so may result in burning out fan switches – not covered under warranty. PRINCIPAL BURNER COMPONENTS 1.
