1. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn
off gas supply at the heater service valve before
starting installation, and perform gas leak test after
completion of installation.
2. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use
any tools. If the knob will not operate by normal hand
pressure the gas control valve should be replaced by
a qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in fire or explosion.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement.
2. Make sure the heater is level and properly positioned
before use. Observe and obey all minimum safe
distances of the heater to the nearest combustible
materials. Safe distances are given on the heater
dataplate and on page 4 of this manual.
3. This heater may be installed either indoors or
outdoors. For outdoor installations, use only the
following air distribution accessory part numbers:
-- 12 in. x 12 ft. Duct
Black: 08978
White: 20685
-- Unit Diffuser
Premier 80: 09389

Do not use any other ductwork or field fabricated
duct, tarps, stove pipe, etc. on this heater.
4. The heater's gas pressure regulator (with pressure
relief valve) must be protected from adverse weather
conditions (rain, ice, snow) as well as from building
materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.) which can affect
safe operation and could result in property damage or
injury.
5. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible tarpaulins,
canvas, plastics, wind barriers, or similar coverings
shall be located at least 10 feet from the coverings.
The coverings shall be securely fastened to prevent

Do not use open flame (matches, torches, candles,
etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■
Use only approved leak detectors.
■
Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires or
explosions.
■
Fires or explosions can lead to property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fittings 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 flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fittings 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.
