Leak Checking & Location Heater; Lighting & Shutdown Instructions - Dyna-Glo ANSI Z83.7-2000 Instruction Manual

Propane is safe to use when properly handled. Careless handling of the Propane gas tank could result
in fire and/or an explosion. Therefore:
• Always keep tank/cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Avoid tipping tank on its side when connected to a regulator since this may cause damage to
diaphragm in regulator.
• Handle valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated Propane tank to construction heater.
• Do not subject Propane tank to excessive heat.
• Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the Propane tank after each use.
• The POL fitting must be protected when disconnected from the propane tank.
• Never store a Propane gas tank inside a building or in the vicinity of any gas burning appliance.
THE DISCONNECTED TANK MUST NEVER BE STORED IN A BUILDING, GARAGE OR
ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA.
LEAK CHECKING:
Check all gas connections with a soap solution to be sure they are tight and leak proof.
• The installation of your heater must meet all local codes and/or gas utility requirements or, in the
absence of local codes, with the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases,
ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
• The minimum clearances to combustible construction shown above must be maintained at all
times.
• The hose assembly should be visually inspected prior to each use of the heater. If it is evident that
there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater being
put into operation.
• The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer (See page 11 for part
numbers).
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: Motor and fan must be running before lighting, during operation and shutdown, in
order to prevent a flame-out condition which could result in personal injury or property damage.
1. Connect power cord to a properly grounded three (3) prong 120V, 60Hz, single phase receptacle.
2. Turn gas valve knob clockwise to OFF position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes to clear any gas. Then smell for gas, if you don't smell gas, go to next step.
4. Turn gas supply ON by turning Propane tank valve counterclockwise.
5. Push in and turn gas control knob counterclockwise to "LOW/IGN". This will light the burner. If
needed, keep pressing control knob until the burner lights and keep depressing and turning from
OFF to LOW/IGN on Piezo electric spark models. ("HIGH/IGN": In case of RMC-FA40DLX)
6. Keep the valve knob depressed for at least 30 seconds after lighting the burner. After 30 seconds
release valve knob.
7. If burner does not stay lit, repeat the lighting procedure.
8. When burner is lit, turn gas valve knob counterclockwise to desired setting. (All models, except
RMC-FA40DLX, RMC - 40 has only one heat setting)
