1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation 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 installed before use.
Observe and obey all minimum safe distances of the
heater to the nearest combustible materials. Safe
distances are given on the heater dataplate and on
page 4 of this manual.
3. The heater is approved for indoor use only.
4. The heater shall not be used with ductwork.
5. The heater’s gas pressure regulator (with pressure
relief valve) must be protected from adverse weather
conditions (rain, ice, snow) as well as from building
materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.) which can affect
safe operation and could result in property damage or
injury.
6. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible tarpaulins,
canvas, plastics, 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.
7. 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.
-- Furthermore 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.
-- 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.
