1. Read all safety precautions and follow L.B. White

recommendations when using this heater.  If during

the set-up or relocating of heater, you suspect that a

part is damaged or defective, call a qualified service

agency for repair or replacement.

2. Make sure the heater is properly positioned before

use.  Observe and obey all minimum safe distances

of the heater to the nearest combustible materials.

Minimum safe distances are given on the heater

nameplate and on page 4 of this manual.

3. This heater is approved for indoor use only.

4. The heater is not for use with ductwork.

5. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible tarpaulins,

canvas, plastic wind barriers, or similar coverings

shall be located at least 10 feet from the coverings.

The coverings shall be securely fastened to prevent

ignition or upsetting of the heater due to wind action

on the covering or other material.

6. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved

gas leak detectors.  Gas leak testing is performed as

follows:  Check all pipe connections, hose

connections, fittings and adapters upstream of the

gas control with approved gas leak detectors.  In the

event a gas leak is detected, check the components

involved for cleanliness and proper application of

pipe compound before further tightening.  Further

tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop the

leak.  After all connections are checked and any leaks

are stopped, turn on the main burner.  Stand clear

while the main burner ignites to prevent injury caused

from hidden leaks that could cause flashback.  With

the main burner in operation, check all connections,

hose connections, fittings and joints as well as the

gas control valve inlet and outlet connections with

approved gas leak detectors.  If a leak is detected,

check the components involved for cleanliness in the

thread areas and proper application of pipe

compound before further tightening.  Further tighten

the gas connection as necessary to stop the leak.  If

necessary, replace the parts or components involved

if the leak cannot be stopped. Ensure all gas leaks

have been identified and repaired before proceeding.

7. Light according to instructions on heater or within

owner's manual.

8. This heater is provided with a pre-set single-stage

regulator and a gas hose, as specified by L.B. White

9. Take time to understand how to operate and maintain

the heater by using this Owner’s Manual.  Make sure

individual heater.  Contact your fuel gas supplier if you

have any questions.

10. Any defects found in performing any of the service or

maintenance procedures must be eliminated and

defective parts replaced immediately.  The heater

must be retested by properly qualified service

personnel before placing the heater back into use.

11. The heater must be installed so as not to interfere

with or obstruct normal exits, emergency exits, door,

and walkways.

12. As necessary, non-combustible railing, fencing, or

other suitable materials may be used surrounding the

heater to create a safe work environment for people

working in the structure and to maintain proper

clearances from combustible materials.

13. Locate the heater to protect it from tipover or

accidental movement.

14. The heater must be located on a flat, stable, and

horizontal surface.

15. The heater must be located so that it is not directly
