Leak Test Method
Never go over connections looking for leaks with a lighted match, cigarette lighter, or any other
flame.
Perform the Leak Test before initial lighting and when connecting a new LP-Gas Cylinder. A
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation on site due to possible miss
handing in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
1.
Make up a dish of soap and water solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.
2.
Spread the soap and water solution over the hose and the connections with a spray bottle, a small
paintbrush or a rag.
3.
With the heater shut OFF, turn the cylinder valve ON.
4.
Any leaks will result in bubbles forming in the solution. If a leak is indicated, shut OFF the cylinder
valve.
5.
Repair any leak, have only a licensed technician complete the repair. (The replacement Gas Hose
Assembly shall be as specified by the manufacturer.)
6.
Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until no leaks are indicated at all hose connection locations.
7.
If you cannot stop the leaks shut OFF the supply valve on the LP-Gas Cylinder and disconnect the
cylinder from the heater. Place the heater OUT OF SERVICE and consult a certified service
person.
*
Use the viewing holes at the top of the Pole to
check for leaks near the Burner connection.
After passing the Leak Test your patio heater is now
ready for use.
Caution:
Heater will produce smoke for the first time it is being let, this is normal. Make sure NOT to light
the heater in an enclosed area.
