OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1. Extend the shell fully and lock into place as shown in the
enclosed instructions sheet before lighting or operating the
heater.
2. Check the heater for possible shipping damage. If any is
found, immediately notify the factory.
3. Follow all of the Safety and Operating Precautions.
4. Assemble the regulator to the heater fuel inlet with the gas
flow arrow pointed toward the heater. You should use a
pipe sealant compound that is resistant to natural gas. Place
sealant onto the male pipe thread, since this will insure that

thread into the inlet and tighten by rotating clockwise.

using approved flexible gas connector, observing all local,
state, etc. codes.

connections with a soap and water solution. DO NOT USE A
FLAME. This includes the connection between the regulator
assembly and the heater.

SERVICING
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has
been modified or is not functioning properly. When the heater is
working properly:
* The flame is contained within the heater.
* The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some yellow tipping.
* There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or other
physical discomfort.
* There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
* There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs of the
heater.
The parts lists and exploded view show the heater as it was
constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from that
shown. In this regard, use only the regulator supplied with the
heater. Do not use alternates. For this heater, the regulator must
be set as shown in "specifications". If there is any uncertainty
about the regulator setting, have it checked.
A heater which is not working right must be repaired, but only by
a trained, experienced service person.
