THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS 12" TOP BY 6" SIDE.
INSTALLER: Please leave instructions with the appliance for the consumer to retain for future reference
POST INSTALLATION (for standard burial steel or aluminum post):
1. Obtain a 3" outside diameter post with notch for valve access at top.
2. Install ¼"OD refrigeration type copper tubing inside post with ¼" flare nuts at each end.
Tubing should be coiled 2½ times at top and protrude approximately 5" through hole at bottom of post.
3. If supplied, insert ladder rest through ladder rest holes and attach ornamental balls to each end.
4. Dig a hole 21" deep x 12" wide.
5. If using ladder rest, position post with ladder rest facing desired direction.
6. Attach the ¼" flare nut at the bottom of the post to the gas supply and tighten the flare nut clockwise.
No sealants are necessary.
7. Secure post in plumb position and pour concrete around post to just below the level of the line access hole.
Back fill.
8. If using a cast pedestal base: Remove the (4) screws and nuts from each side and place each piece of the base
around the bottom of the post. Secure it together using the (4) screws and nuts. Push the base approximately
1–2" into the ground and secure in place using the back fill from the post. If the base is not secured in the
ground, the freeze and thaw of the ground can cause the base to rise and fall, causing the finish of the post to
scratch.

LAMP INSTALLATION:

1. Attach the ¼" flare nut at the top of the post to the gas valve inside the lamp collar. Tighten well.
2. Lower lamp head onto post or stud, aligning valve with access slot in top of post or stud. Check!
Make sure hole is lined up with the valve stem, allowing you access to the valve.
3. Tighten set screw(s) in collar of lamp so lamp is well secured to post.
4. To install glass: Follow glass installation instructions on pages 3-4. *Note: Install all but one panel.
5. Be certain the lamp valve is in the OFF position (3 o'clock position) before turning on the main gas supply.
6. Leaving lamp valve in OFF position, turn on main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using a
soapy solution. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Tighten any leaky
connections and recheck for leaks.
7. If using mantles, install mantles per instructions on packaging before turning lamp valve on.
If using open flame, turn lamp valve ON (12 o'clock position) with a flathead screwdriver and slowly move
flame toward burner tip until it ignites.
8. Install last pane of glass.
9. For gas mantle, leave valve full open. For open flame, adjust flame to ½ - ¾ open.
