Operation
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at hose/regulator connection: tighten connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles
continue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place of purchase.
3. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak check. If
you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to
cylinder’s place of purchase.
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.
4. Complete installation.
Caution: Do not attempt to operate until you have read and understand all General Safety Information
in this manual and all assembly is complete and leak checks have been performed.
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.
