LOCATION
•
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Always ensure adequate
ventilation is provided.
•
Maintain proper clearance
from combustible materials i.e.
100cm from the sides and top
•
Heater must be placed on level
firm ground.
•
NEVER operate the heater
in the vicinity of combustible
materials.
•
Use base screws to anchor the
unit if there is a possibility of
strong wind.
LEAK TEST
The leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free
from any flames or other sources of ignition.
•
With the cylinder connected to
the heater. Open the cylinder
valve.
•
Brush the connections (heater
to cylinder) with a solution of
equal parts soap and water
(make sure it’s foamy).
•
A stream of bubbles forming in-
dicates a gas leak. (See Fig.J)
•
If bubbles appear, turn the
cylinder valve OFF (clockwise)
and disconnect the heater from
the gas cylinder.
•
Tighten the connection and
retry the leak test.
•
If you are unsure or if you
cannot tighten the connection,
place the cylinder outside in a
cool, well-ventilated area and
contact Alva on 086 100 ALVA
(2582).
•
A leak between the heater and
cylinder can lead to a high
pressure fire, which is very
dangerous and can result in
extensive injury or even death.
