Trouble Shooting
Problem will correct itself when winds subside.
This can occur in high winds
Use a pressure washer to clean the screen. Allow
to dry before lighting
Check for build up of dirt or asphalt on the screen
Tighten Bolts. There is a ceramic gasket around
the perimeter that must be sealed
Check that all the nuts and bolts around the
perimeter of each heater are tightened.
Tighten or reseat and tighten flare fittings until leaks
are sealed
Check for leaks in the tube running from the
manifold to the heaters using soapy water and
blowing compressed air into the system (DO NOT
USE PROPANE; EXPLOSION HAZARD!)
Set to between 6 and 7 PSI. Too high pressure can
cause gas to leak out of the bell, fall to the ground
and ignite inside the heater.
Check that the pressure is not set too high
Propane is burning inside the heater:
If you hear a continuous “whooshing” sound and
the top of the heater is turning blue, it is because it is burning internally. Here are some

Heater is lit but is not glowing red:
Here are some things to check for:
Set between 6 and 7 PSI.
2. Check that the pressure is not too low.
If it is still blocked there may be a larger piece that
necessitates the removal of the tip altogether (See the
Maintenance Section of this manual for instructions).
Use the supplied tip cleaner to clean out the orifice.
To do this, blow compressed air into the system and
run tip cleaner in and out while the air is blasting out
(DO NOT USE PROPANE; EXPLOSION HAZARD!)
1. Check that there is no blockage in the orifice
(the tip that injects the propane into the heater).
