SERVICING
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has
been modified or is not functioning properly. When the heater is
working properly:
* The flame is contained within the heater.
* The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some yellow tipping.
* There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or other
physical discomfort.
* There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
* There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs of the
heater.
The parts lists and exploded view show the heater as it was
constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from that
shown. In this regard, use only the hose, regulator and cylinder
connection fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied with the heater.
IMPOrTanT
Match the color stripe on the hang tag attached
to the hose assembly with the color on the label located near
the propane inlet fitting on the heater. Do not use alternates. For
this heater, the regulator must be set as shown in "specifications".
If there is any uncertainty about the regulator setting, have it
checked.
A heater which is
not
working right must be repaired, but
only
by
a trained, experienced service person.
