bypassed for testing and troubleshooting purposes
only. Never ooperate tthe aappliance w
with aany ssafety
device bbypassed.
17. Position heater properly before use—heater must set
level and according to minimum clearances. (See
Specifications.)
18. Keep all propane fuel gas containers at least
6 ft. (1.83 m) from heater. DO NOT locate fuel gas
containers or fuel supply hoses anywhere near the
blower outlet of the heater.
19. The hose assembly of the heater shall be visually
inspected periodically to insure a good, safe
condition. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced
prior to heater being put into operation. The hose
assembly shall be protected from traffic, building
materials, and contact with hot surfaces during use.
20. Check for gas leaks and proper function upon
installation, periodically and when relocating.
21. Installation must comply with applicable codes.
Use pipe joint compound that is resistant to liquefied
petroleum gas and natural gas.
22. Never light the heater or smoke in areas where there
is gas odor. Allow sufficient fresh air to replace that
used by combustion.
23. Use only the pre-set regulator as recommended by
the L. B. White Company.
24. Open the valve on gas supply vessel slowly. This will
prevent lock-up of excess flow valve. If this happens,
close gas supply valve, wait several minutes—it will
reset itself.
25. The heater should be inspected before each use and
at least annually by a qualified service person for
proper operation.
26. Always turn off the gas supply when the heater is not
in use.
27. When the heater is to be stored indoors, the
connection between the propane cylinder(s) and the
heater must be disconnected and the cylinder(s)
removed and stored in accordance with the Standard
for the Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum
Gases-ANSI/NFPA 58.
28. Propane gas cylinders and ASME vessels have left-
hand threads. Always use a wrench to make the
connection and removal of the P.O.L. fitting. Do not
use pliers. Check for gas leaks.
29. This heater is equipped with a ground wire within the
power cord for your protection against shock hazard
and must be connected into a properly grounded
electrical supply.
30. If the gas flow is interrupted and the heater flame is
extinguished, shut off gas and wait a minimum of five
(5) minutes or until gas clears away before relighting.
31. Installations not using the gas hose supplied with
this appliance must connect dimensionally using
American National Standard Wrought Steel and
Wrought Iron Pipe B36/10-1970. (Aluminum piping
or tubing shall not be used.) Copper tubing when
used for conveying natural gas, shall be internally
tinned or equivalently treated to resist sulphur.
WARNING
The appliance area shall be kept clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Otherwise, a fire
or explosion may result.
WARNING
Do not attempt to field fabricate hose assemblies using
clamps, barbed fittings, or any other components. These
can loosen over a period of time, leading to gas leaks and
consequently fire or explosions. Use only the hose
assembly supplied by the L. B. White Co., Inc. for the
appliance being installed.
WARNING
Never use a rigid connection, hard pipe or copper
tubing, to an appliance inlet when the appliance is
using chain, cable, or other material allowing appliance
movement. If the appliance is moved or jarred, hard
piping or tubing can crack, causing gas leaks leading to
fire, explosion, serious injury or death. Always use an
approved propane gas hose to convey gas to the
appliance in a hanging type of installation.
WARNING
Do not block the air inlets of the appliance. Doing so,
when in operation, will lead to:
A. Improper combustion, leading to carbon monoxide
poisoning and asphyxiation.
B. Burner flame damage to wires, electrical controls and
components, and gas controls.
Either situation can lead to serious injury or death,
property damage or animal loss.
