FOR YOUR SAFETY
If you smell gas:
1. Shut off gas to the appliance.
2. Extinguish any open flame.
3. If odor continues, immediately
call gas supplier.
THE LAMP HEAD MUST BE INSTALLED TO CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES
OR IN ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z21.42-2013 OR CSA B149.1 OR CSA B149.2
THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM CONBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS 12" TOP BY 6" SIDE
POST INSTALLATION (for standard burial steel or aluminum post)
1. Obtain from your dealer 3" OD post with notches for valve access at top.
2. Install inside post (1/4" OD) gas feed line tubing with ¼" flare nuts at each end. Tubing should be coiled 2 ½ times at top.
3. Tubing should protrude about 5" through the access hole at the bottom of post.
4. If supplied, insert ladder rest through hole and attach ornamental ball to each end.
5. Dig a hole 21" deep X 12" wide.
6. If a pedestal base is being used proceed to step 7, if no base is being used attach the ¼" flare nut from the gas feed line at the
bottom of the post to the main gas supply and secure post in plumb position, pour concrete around the post to just below the
level of the line access hole. Back fill the hole.
7. If using a pedestal base, pour the concrete in the hole, place the pedestal base over the hole and slide the post down through
the center of the base into the concrete leaving the access hole just above the concrete line. Attach the ¼" flare nut from the
gas feed line at the bottom of the post to the main gas supply and secure the post in plumb position. Back fill the hole and
push the base about 1"-2" down in the ground and secure in place using the back fill. 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. Install screen, rain cap and finial if not already on the lamp. The screen is to be inside the top of the roof. (make sure the rain
cap is sitting on the tabs or indentations at the top of the roof, this will raise the rain cap to allow for ventilation.)
2. Attach the flare nut from the ¼"OD gas feed line tubing to the gas valve on the lamp. Tighten Well.
3. Lower lamp onto post or stud, aligning valve with the slot in the post or stud. Check! Make sure you have access to your
valve.
4. Tighten set screw(s) in collar of lamp so lamp is well secured to post.
5. Install glass by fitting top corner into frame top, then opposite corner. (Refer to illustration)
Press glass against tabs inside of frame and allow it to slide into bottom frame.
(Install all but one panel) (If using bevel glass install with bevel facing inside lamp)
6. Be certain the lamp valve is in the OFF position before turning on the main gas supply line.
7. 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.
8. Follow Lighting Instructions on back.
9. Install last panel of glass.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
No combustible material, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids should be stored near lamp. Nothing should obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Occasionally the glass will need to be cleaned with household glass cleaner and the tip of the brass stem on the burner will need to
be cleaned using steel wool and some dental floss to clean the top opening.
