Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 15).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equip-
ment shutoff valve for natural gas or pro-
pane/LP supply to equipment shutoff valve
for propane/LP (see Figures 16 and 17).
Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.

COnnECTIOnS
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Fig-
ure 15).
2. Open main gas valve located on or near
gas meter for natural gas or open pro-
pane/LP supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the
OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff
valve to control valve (see Figures 16 and
17). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid
to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light heater (see
Operation
, page 17).
Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see

, page 18).
InSTALLInG LOGS
CAUTION: After installa-
tion and periodically thereafter,
check to ensure that no flame
comes in contact with any log.
With the heater set to HI, check
to see if flames contact any log. If
so, reposition logs according to
the log installation instructions
in this manual. Flames contact-
ing logs will create soot.
WARNING: Failure to posi-
tion the parts in accordance
with these diagrams or failure
to use only parts specifically
approved with this heater may
result in property damage or
personal injury.
Each log is marked with a number. These
numbers will help you identify the log when
installing. It is very important to install these
logs exactly as instructed. Do not modify logs.
Only use logs supplied with heater.
1.
Place front log (#1) on grate fingers. Make sure
front log rests firmly between grate fingers and
grate base (see Figure 18, page 16).
2. Place base of middle log (#2) in U-shaped
slots of grate base. The large cutout on bot-
tom right of middle log should fit over burner
(see Figure 19, page 16). Make sure front of
middle log is resting on tabs of grate base.
