WARNING 

The equipment described in this manual is designed to operate with 
LP-gas, a flammable fuel under pressure.  The nature of the 
application involves inherent hazards that could result in injury.  
ONLY a trained and fully qualified person should service this 
equipment. 

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 

1.

Gas must pass through the FILTAIRE for it to work properly.  Mount it
downstream of the vaporizer and the first stage regulator.  Mount it level for
the filter to work efficiently.

2.

Insulation may be required depending on gas pressure, outside temperature
and system requirements.

3.

The FILTAIRE must have a bypass around the filter with shut-off valves for
removal and cleaning.  

See the accompanying diagram

.

4.

The filtered impurities must be drained to proper containers.  Make
provisions for draining and disposing of the material safely.

5.

A customer supplied relief valve must be installed to protect Filtaire and
downstream equipment from potential overpressure damage.
