Pre-Lighting Instructions:
Connecting the LP Cylinder
ALL NEW LP CYLINDERS MUST BE PURGED
BEFORE THE FIRST FILLING.
–
Turn heater gas valve knob and LP cylinder
valve to OFF position.
–
LP cylinder valve equipped with old style fitting
has LEFT HANDED THREADS. Turn fitting
CLOCKWISE to loosen. Protect this fitting
when disconnected from LP cylinder.
–
Have your LP cylinder filled by your local
propane gas supplier.
–
Some LP cylinders have a bleed-OFF valve.
This valve should be inspected for leaks after
each filling of the LP cylinder. Turn the valve

Fasten full propane tank and connect
proper fitting to LP cylinder valve by turning
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (see Figures 2 & 3).
–
With heater gas valve knob still in OFF position
turn ON the LP cylinder valve and check for
leaks with soap solution.
Checking For Leaks
–
To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution
of dish soap and water. Apply this solution to
all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there
is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas
supply, and re-connect the leaking connection.
If the leak persists after several tries, contact
Pinnacle Customer Service at 800-641-6996.
–
The installation of this heater must meet all
local codes and/or gas utility requirements. In
the absence of local codes, the National Fuel
Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed.
–
The minimum clearances to any combustible
construction materials must be maintained at
all times (See Page 3).
–
Inspect the heater before each use, and at
least annually by a qualified service person.
Purging and filling of the
LP cylinders must be
performed by personnel who have been
thoroughly trained in accepted LP gas
industry procedures. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in explosion, fire,
severe personal injury or death.
