PROPANE
SUPPLY
User must provide propane gas and propane tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. The amount
of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this
amount:
1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed to operate with a minimum 9-kg propane tank. You may
need two or more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Use a 45-kg tank for
longer operation or in very cold weather. Less gas is vaporized at lower tempera-
tures. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply system.
