Procedure for Leakage Test
1. This portable heater is intended for outdoor use only. Always
ensure adequate fresh air ventilation.
2. Always maintain proper clearance to combustible materials:
a minimum of 24 in. from the top and 36 in. from the sides
3. Place the heater on a strong and stable table.
4. Never operate the heater in an explosive atmosphere like in
areas where gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors
are stored.
Gas connections on this heater are leak tested at the factory
prior to shipment. Possible mishandling of this appliance during
shipping may impair product integrity. Perform a complete leakage
test again at the installation site. Please follow the procedure below.
1. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be
applied to hoses and connections with a spray bottle, brush or rag.
2. Make sure that the safety control valve is in the "OFF" position.
3. Turn the cylinder valve ON and check for soap bubbles forming on and around connections and
hoses. If bubbles appear, there is a leak present.
4. If a leak is present, remove the gas cylinder immediately, tighten any leaking fittings, replace the
gas cylinder, and recheck.
