To assure safety, proper function and longevity of the heater,
regular maintenance is required. The frequency of maintenance
will depend on the usage of the unit. Review the following
concerning the criteria for a properly functioning heater. Failing
to follow proper, regular maintenance will void warranty.
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 wiring diagram 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.
