as well as from building materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.) which can aff ect safe operation and could
result in property damage or injury.
5. Ensure that all accessories that shipped within the heater have been removed and installed.
6. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as
follows:
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections, fittings and adapters upstream of the gas control with
approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the components involved for cleanliness and proper application
of pipe compound before further tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop the leak.
-- Aft er all connections are checked and any leaks are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that could cause
flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all connections, hose connections, fittings and joints as well as
the gas control valve inlet and outlet connections with approved gas leak detectors.
-- If a leak is detected, check the components involved for cleanliness in the thread areas and proper
application of pipe compound before further tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to stop the leak.
-- If necessary, replace the parts or components involved if the leak cannot be stopped.
-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identified and repaired before proceeding.
7. A qualified service technician must check for proper operating gas pressure upon installation of the
heater.
8. Light according to instructions on heater or within owner’s manual.
9. The heater must have the proper gas regulator for the application. Use only the 2-way manifold regulator
assembly supplied with the heater. This 2-way manifold includes a POL fittings incorporating an excess
flow valve. The excess flow valve is a safety device which protects against discharge from the propane gas
supply container if the regulator is broken off . If the POL fitting is ever replaced, it needs to be replaced
with an excess flow valve POL fitting. Failure to do so can result in fires, explosions, loss of property, injury
or death.
