3.­ Connect­the­POL­fitting­of­hose­and­regulator­assembly­to­the­
propane­cylinder­by­rotating­the­POL­nut­counterclockwise­into­
the­propane­cylinder's­valve­outlet­and­securely­tighten­with­a­
wrench.
4.­ Connect­the­hose­to­the­heater­by­rotating­the­hose­fitting­
clockwise.
5.­ Securely­tighten­all­gas­connections.
6.­ Open­the­cylinder's­gas­valve­and­check­all­gas­connections­with­

In­this­regard,­use­only­the­hose,­regulator­and­cylinder­connection­
fitting­(called­a­POL­fitting)­supplied­with­the­heater.­IMPORTANT
Match­the­color­stripe­on­the­hangtag­attached­to­the­hose­assembly­
with­the­color­on­the­label­located­near­the­propane­inlet­fitting­on­
the­heater.­Do­not­use­alternates.­For­this­heater,­the­regulator­must­
be­set­as­shown­in­"specifications".­If­there­is­any­uncertainty­about­
