Unpacking and Assembly

- Remove heater and base from carton (sav

carton and packing materials for later storage)

- Remove all protective packaging protectin

heater during shipping.

- Place heater base on flat surface with wheel

on ground.

- Line up holes in bottom of heater cabinet wit

locking tabs on top of base (see figure 2)

- Mount heater cabinet to heater base, slidin

tabs through holes in bottom of cabinet and

sliding cabinet backward approximately 1/4" or

until cabinet will not move further back.

heater base.

- Inspect heater closely for any damage that ma

have occured during shipping. If there is any

damage, return the heater to place of purchase.

Connecting to Gas Supply

IMPORTANT! - Always use a propane (LP) 

cylinder that has a connection device that is 

compatible with the hose and regulator assembly 

supplied.

- Remove the back cover by sliding the cove

straight up and away from the heater body.

Place the LP cylinder on the bottom plate and

replace the back cover.

- To connect LP cylinder, insert regulator end

fitting into cylinder valve, rotate coupling nut

clockwise and tighten firmly (see figure 3)

- Open valve on propane cylinder slowl . If the

valve is not opened slowly, the excess flow

check valve in the regulator will stop the flow of

gas. If this should happen, close the valve, wait

one minute (or until you hear the valve click),

and re-open, slowly.

- Be sure to inspect all connections for leaks, b

using a 50/50 mixture of dish soap and water on

all connection. Any bubbles forming indicate a

leak.
