OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• For outdoor use only. Never use inside house, or other
unventilated or enclosed areas. This heater consumes air
(oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to
avoid endangering your life.

Before Turning Gas Supply ON:
1. Your heater was designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do NOT use it inside a building, 
garage, or any other enclosed area. 
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable 
vapors or liquids.
3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are tight and 
there are no leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed during assembly or 
servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.

Before Lighting: 
1. Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at least 
annually. If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes. 
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected areas 
should be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the 
replacement hose assembly specified by manufacturer.

Lighting:

Note:

This heater is equipped with a pilot light that allows for safer startups and shutdowns. Pilot must 

be lit before main burner can be started.

1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
2. Fully open LP cylinder valve.
