SAFETY TIPS
1. Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure propane cylinder valve
outlet is clean.
2. Inspect hose before use. Replace if there is evidence of abrasion or wear.
3. During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy water.
See directions for performing a leak test in the Yearly Maintenance section.
4. Check entire hose at least once a year.
YEARLY MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning out the pilot feed tube.
•
Remove the mesh screen around the control panel (igniter switch and control knob).
•
Inside the unit you will see a thin copper tube going up into a brass cylinder. The copper tube is called the pilot
feed tube, and the brass cylinder is called the venturi tube. Loosen the small set screw on the side of the venturi
tube and pull down on the pilot feed tube to remove it.
•
On the end of the pilot feed tube is a small brass fitting. This can be unscrewed (you may need to use needle
nose pliers to loosen) and placed in a cup of hot water for 5 minutes. This will loosen up any blockages.
•
While the fitting is soaking in the hot water, use a pipe cleaner or compressed air to clean out the venturi tube.
•
Remove the fitting from the cup of water and make sure it is completely dry. When held up to a light, you should
be able to see a tiny point of light through the hole in the center. If it is still blocked, you can use a single wire from a
wire bristle brush to clean out the hole. Do not use a safety pin or anything with a diameter larger than a wire bristle
as this could damage the fitting.
•
Screw the fitting back on to the pilot feed tube, reinsert the feed tube back into the venturi tube, and tighten the
set screw.
•
Replace the mesh screen around the control panel.
2. Leak test
•
Perform all leak tests outdoors.
•
Extinguish all open flames.
•
NEVER leak test when smoking.
•
Do not use the heater until all connections have been leak tested and do not leak.
