WARNING: Review and un-
derstand the warnings in the
Safety, page 3. They are needed
to safely operate this heater. Fol-
low all local codes when using
this heater.
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 noncorrosive
leak detection fluid to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
Correct all leaks at once.
1. Provide propane supply system (see
Propane Supply
).
2. Connect POL fitting on hose/regulator
assembly to propane tank(s). Turn POL
fitting counterclockwise into threads on
tank. Tighten firmly using wrench.
IMPORTANT:
Position regulator so that
hose leaving the regulator is in a hori
-
zontal position (see Figure 4). This places
the regulator vent in the proper position to
protect it from the weather.

mum fresh, outside air ventila-
tion requirements. If proper
fresh, outside air ventilation is
not provided, carbon monoxide
poisoning can occur. Provide
