Chapter 2 Operating Instructions
Do not disconnect power from the running heater except in an emergency.
Stopping the heater before it has finished its cooldown cycle will cause it
to wear out significantly faster. Wait to use the switch on the side of the
heater until the fans have stopped. Please turn down the thermostat or turn
off the propane during normal operation to force the heater to enter its
cooldown cycle.
Propane has a chemical added to give it a distinctive odor. If you are not familiar with
that odor, please contact your local LP supplier. They can provide you with a scratch and
sniff pamphlet. Use extra caution if you smoke or strong odors are present as this can
make the odor difficult to notice. Like most other odors, extended exposure can reduce
your sensitivity to the smell. Since LP gas is heavier than air, please remember that the
odor will be stronger at lower levels.
2.2 Running the Heater For the First Time or After the Unit Has Been
Idle for a Long Time
Whenever you need to verify that the heater is working properly, please follow the four
steps below.
1) Check inlets and outlets
Check that the air inlets and outlets are undamaged and unblocked.
2) Check fuel system
Check that the propane tank(s) are securely mounted and the gas lines and fittings
between the propane tank(s) and the heater are tight and undamaged. Turn on the valve
on the propane tank(s).
If you smell propane, immediately discontinue operation of the
heater until the source of the leak has been found and fixed.
3) Set the thermostat to the maximum value
If the temperature is above 80 or 90 degrees, you may not be able to turn the thermostat
high enough for the heater to start in the next step. If you wish to continue setting up the
heater you will need to chill the thermostat probe or wait for a cooler day.
4) Turn on the heater
The heater will start and, after a few seconds, ignite. The red indicator light in the control
box will turn on until the heater has ignited. If the heater doesn’t ignite right away, the
ignition system will try to ignite the heater again after a short delay. If the heater still
doesn’t ignite after a few minutes (the red indicator light will turn on and stay on), please
refer to the troubleshooting guide to help fix the problem.
5) Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
Your heater is now ready for use. The heater will automatically turn on and off as
necessary to maintain the desired temperature in the trailer.
