NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD—ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE HEATER FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY (WALL OUTLET) BEFORE REMOVING
THE POWER CORD FROM THE HEATER. UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS, WITH THE HEATER PLUGGED INTO THE POWER
SUPPLY, THE EXPOSED CONNECTOR CAN BE SHORTED BY
FOREIGN MATERIAL AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE. FOREIGN
MATERIALS OF A CONDUCTIVE NATURE, SUCH AS, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, STEEL WOOL, ALUMINUM FOIL, OR ANY
BUILD-UP OF METALLIC PARTICLES, SHOULD BE KEPT FROM
THE CONNECTOR. ALWAYS UNPLUG HEATER BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN.

HEATER OPERATION

START
1. The HERO heater is equipped with a blower fan switch, located
on the control panel of the heater. Press the on/off switch to
start the blower fan. Once the fan has been turned on, the
green LED light on the control panel will turn on solid, indicating
that the fan is operating. The blower fan must be turned on
before the gas/igniter valve is SLOWLY pressed to light the
heater.
NOTICE: The fuel valve (orange button) has a safety lockout
and cannot be depressed until after the fan has been
started.
2. Open propane supply valve on propane tank slowly. Note: If
not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will
stop gas flow. If this happens, close propane supply valve and
open again slowly. Wait 15 seconds before Step 3.
3. After the blower fan has been started, SLOWLY depress the
orange gas/igniter valve button located on the control panel to
ignite the heater. If the heater fails to light, release the orange
button and repeat this step. Keep the valve depressed for 30-60
seconds, after burner lights, then release and the heater will
continue to operate. If the burner shuts off, wait 20 seconds and
repeat these steps.
NOTICE: This heater is equipped with a safety solenoid lockout
that prevents the gas valve being depressed until the heater
is turned on and the fan is operating. This system allows 30
seconds for ignition attempts. After 30 seconds the heater must
be reset for additional attempts. To reset, switch the on/off
switch to off and then back on.
SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE
When the heater detects a power source change (connect or
disconnect AC power while operating) it will automatically shut
down.
After shut down, the "START" procedure will have to be used to
restart the heater.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
This heater is equipped with a low battery voltage lockout
safety system that prevents operation if the battery voltage is too
low.
STOP
1. Press the on/off switch to turn off the heater.
2. Turn off gas supply when heater is not in use.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least
annually by a qualified person.
2. Before each use, check the soft "O" ring seat at the bullnose
of the POL fitting. If the "O" ring is cut, scuffed, or otherwise
damaged, replace it with part number F273786.
3. Turn off the gas at the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) when the heater
is not in use.
4. When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection
between the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) and the heater must
be disconnected and the cylinder(s) removed from the heater
and stored out of doors and in accordance with Chapter 5 of
the standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code.
5. It is recommended that the internal battery be maintained on a
constant maintenance charge by leaving it plugged into a 120V
power source. If constant maintenance charging is not possible,
it is recommended that the battery be fully charged every 3
months.
6. The heater may be stored with the charger disconnected if all of
the following conditions are met.
•The battery is fully charged before storing. (Failure to store fully
charged will shorten battery life.)
•The average temperature of the storage location is below 50°
(10°C).
•Storage duration is less than 6 months.

SERVICING

A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has been
modified or is not functioning properly. When the heater is working
properly:
* The flame is contained within the heater.
* The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some yellow tipping.
* There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or other
physical discomfort.
* There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
* There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs of the
heater.
The parts lists and exploded view show the heater as it was
constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from that shown.
In this regard, use only the hose, regulator and cylinder connection
fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied with the heater. IMPORTANT
Match the color stripe on the hangtag attached to the hose assembly
with the color on the label located near the propane inlet fitting on
the heater. Do not use alternates. For this heater, the regulator must
be set as shown in "specifications". If there is any uncertainty about
the regulator setting, have it checked.
A heater which is not working right must be repaired, but only by a
trained, experienced service person.
In-warranty products will be repaired with no charge for either parts
or labor. Please include a brief statement indicating date, place of
purchase, the nature of the problem and proof of purchase.
Out-of-warrranty products will be repaired with a charge for parts,
labor and shipping.
