valve connection.
The cylinder must have a listed overfilling prevention
device. The cylinder must have a connection device
compatible with the connection for the appliance. The
cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. Never connect an unregulated propane
cylinder to the heater.
The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked

The knob on the LP tank must be closed. Make sure that
the knob is turned clockwise to a full stop. The
cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. Check that the control knob on the control
unit is turned off. Hold the regulator in one hand and
insert the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple
is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut connects
to the large outside threads on the valve outlet.
Hand-tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes
to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only.
To Disconnect:
Fully close the tank valve by turning
clockwise. Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise
until the regulator assembly detaches.
To check for a leak:
1. Make 2-3 oz. leak check solution (one part
liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts
water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where
regulator connects to cylinder and to all hose
and valve connections
3. Make sure all patio heater and light valves
are OFF.
4. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a
leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection:
Disconnect, reconnect, and perform another
leak check. Apply the soapy solution to all hose and
valve connections. If you continue to see bubbles
after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective
and should be returned to cylinder’s place of
purchase.
3. If leak is at hose/regulator connection:
This part is defective and you should contact the
customer service department for replacement.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.
NOTE:
Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.
WARNING
• Perform all leak tests outdoors.
• Extinguish all open flames.
• NEVER leak test when smoking.
• Do not use the heater until all connections have been
leak tested and do not leak.
