PROPANE SUPPLY
You must provide propane gas and propane
tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5
of the
Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/
or CAN/CGA B149.2
. Your local library or fire
department will have this booklet.
This heater will operate with a 20-pound (9,07
kg) propane tank. However, you can only
operate it in the LOW position during mildly
cool weather. At higher heat settings or during
colder weather, you must use larger tanks.
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)
The chart below shows the minimum number
of 100-pound (45 kg) tanks needed to run
the heater. Connect tanks together with a
manifold.

Your local propane gas dealer will help you
select the proper supply system.
WARNING: Review and un-
derstand the warnings in Safety,
page 2. They are needed to safely
operate this heater. Follow all lo-
cal codes when using this heater.
CAUTION: Never ignite and/
or run this heater unless the
shells are fully extended and
locked into position.
OUTER SHELL
IMPORTANT:
When the heater is first re
-
moved from carton, the outer shell is in the
down position. Protect hands before lifting
outer shell. Never grasp bare metal without
hand protection.
1. Care must be taken to protect hands
during this step. Lift outer shell straight
up as shown in Figure 2, until screw holes
line up and slotted holes are visible.
2. Install 3 screws in lower holes as shown
in Figure 2. Let upper shell rest on lower
screws. Holes and slots will line up.
3. Install 3 screws into upper holes to secure
upper shell. The heater must not be op-
erated unless the outer shell is properly
extended and fully secured into place.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections for leaks after
installation or servicing. Never
use an open flame to check for
a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid
soap and water to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
Correct all leaks at once.
1. Provide propane supply system (see
Propane Supply, above
).
