cover. The heater control panel assembly on top of the
jacket can be turned to any of six positions for convenient
access to the panel as follows:

2. Pull hair pin clips.
3. Depress plastic clips on the control panel assembly.
4. Lift panel off of support plate.
5. Turn the assembly to the desired position and snap in

OUTDOOR SHELTER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This pool heater can only be installed outdoors or in an
enclosure that is not normally occupied and does not
directly communicate with occupied areas.
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correct-
ly vented. Follow venting instructions exactly when
installing heater. Do not use a draft hood with this heater,
as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower
and a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the
room housing the heater. Exhaust venting to the outdoors is
required for all outdoor shelter installations.
Risk of explosion if a unit converted to
propane gas is installed in a pit or other low spot. Propane is
heavier than air. Do not install the heater using propane in
pits or other locations where gas might collect. Consult your
local building code officials to determine installation require-
ments of heater relative to propane storage tanks and filling
equipment. Installation must meet the requirements for the
Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum
Gases, CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition) or ANSI/NFPA 58
(latest edition). Consult local codes and fire protection
authorities about specific installation restrictions.
The heater is design certified by CSA International for
installation on combustible flooring; in alcoves; basements;
in closet or utility rooms (in the U.S.)
INSTALLATION IN A GARAGE
OR UTILITY ROOM
In Canada, this must be not normally occupied and must
not directly communicate with occupied areas.
Risk of fire and explosion if installed at floor
level in an automotive garage or near gasoline or flamma-
ble liquid storage. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and
will settle to floor level in closed spaces. Gasoline fumes
and spilled gasoline or other volatile liquids (such as some
paints and varnishes) will travel across the floor and can be
ignited by a gas appliance. In a utility room or residential
garage installation, install the heater with the base at least
18 inches (.5M) above the floor. In a garage, install a rail
or wall to protect the heater from physical damage by a
moving vehicle.
Provide an adequate ventilation air supply (See Table 2,
Page 11). Choose a location that will avoid contamination
by chemical fumes.
NOTICE: PROPANE (LPG) fired heaters must not be
installed in garages in Massachusetts, by order of the
Massachusetts State Fire Marshall. For more information,
call the State Fire Marshall’s office.
NOTICE: Combustion air contaminated by corrosive
chemical fumes can damage the heater and will void the
warranty (See Table 1, Page 11).
