OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate until you have read
and understand all General Safety Information
in this manual and all assembly is complete
and leak test has been performed.
BEFORE TURNING GAS SUPPLY ON:
1. Your heater was designed and approved
for OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT use it
inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors or liquids.
3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are
tight and there are no leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed during
assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.
BEFORE LIGHTING:
1. Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service
person at least annually. If re-lighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected
areas should be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation.
Only use the replacement hose assembly specified by the manufacturer.
LIGHTING:
NOTE: For initial start or after any cylinder change, hold the
control knob in for 2 minutes to purge air from all gas lines before
proceeding.
NOTE: This heater has an Electronic Ignition and
will require installation of 1 – AAA battery. The battery should be
installed by unscrewing the RED IGNITER BUTTON.
1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
2. Fully open the LP cylinder valve.
3. Turn the control knob half way between the small flame and the large flame symbols.
4. Push control knob in and then push the RED igniter button to ignite the main burner.
Repeat until the burner ignites. Keep the control knob fully pushed in for an additional
30 seconds after the burner ignites, then release the control knob.
