GAS SUPPLY:    (PROPANE CYLINDER - NOT INCLUDED)

 

A dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your gas 
supplier. The heater comes equipped with a hose assembly for hook-up to a standard propane gas 
tank. 
 

 

Never use a propane cylinder with a     

       damaged valve connection. 

 Never connect an unregulated propane  

       cylinder to the heater 
 

The propane cylinder must be designed to provide for vapor withdrawal from the operating cylinder. Gas 
connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. For your safety a complete 
gas tightness check of all connections and hoses, must also be performed at the installation site prior to 

This appliance is an infrared transportable patio, deck and garden heater for operation with LPG 
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas). The burner is controlled and adjusted by the gas control knob, and the gas 
supply is controlled by the valve on the portable gas cylinder. These installation and operating instruc-
tions are intended for the Series 4003 / 4403 Heaters.  All installations must conform to the following in-
stallation requirements. Also, all local and national code requirements including the current CAN/CGA-
B149.1-00 (latest edition) installation code and the ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) for the U.S.A. for gas 
burning appliances and equipment. Due to ever changing standards and requirements, revision to our 
equipment and installation procedures may be necessary. In case of discrepancies, the latest installa-
tion manual will take priority.

 

TO LEAK TEST: 
Make a soapy solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be 
applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear where a gas leak is present.
