Propane Supply
This heater requires a 20 lb propane
cylinder for operation. (Not included).
The propane (LP) gas tank must also be
equipped with the following:
• A collar to protect the propane gas
valve.
• A shutoff valve terminating a Propane
gas cylinder valve outlet as specified
in the American National Standard
for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve
Outlet and Inlet Connections.
• A safety relief valve having direct
communications with the vapor
space of the tank.
• An arrangement of vapor withdrawal.
The propane (LP) gas pressure
regulator and hose assembly of
30K BTU models supplied with
the heater must be used without
alteration.
The hose assembly shall be visually
inspected prior to each use of the
heater. If it is evident that there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose
is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
heater being put into operation. The
replacement hose assembly shall be that
specified by the manufacturer.
Refilling the Propane Gas
Tank
ALL NEW CYLINDERS MUST BE
PURGED BEFORE THE FIRST FILLING.
• Turn heater gas valve knob and gas
tank valve to OFF position.
• Propane tank valve equipped with
the old style fitting has LEFT
HANDED THREADS. Turn POL fitting
CLOCKWISE to loosen. Protect POL
fitting when disconnected from tank.
• Have tank filled by your local Propane
gas supplier.
• Some propane tanks have a bleed-off
valve. This valve should be inspected
for leaks after each filling of the
tank. Turn clockwise to close the
valve.
• Fasten full Propane tank and connect
POL fitting to tank valve by turning
COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
• With heater gas valve knob still in the
OFF position, turn ON tank valve and
check for leaks with soap solution.
Propane is safe to use when properly
handled. Careless handling of the
Propane gas tank could result in
fire and/or an explosion. Therefore:
• Always keep tank/cylinder securely
fastened in an upright position.
• Avoid tipping tank on its side when
connected to a regulator since this
may cause damage to diaphragm in
regulator.
• Handle valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated
Propane tank to construction heater.
• Do not subject Propane tank to
excessive heat.
• Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on
the Propane tank after each use.
• The POL fitting must be protected
when disconnected from the
propane tank.
• Never store a Propane gas tank inside
a building or in the vicinity of any
gas burning appliance.
THE DISCONNECTED TANK MUST
NEVER BE STORED IN A BUILDING,
GARAGE OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED
AREA.
