The leak(s) should be located by applying a mixture of liquid of detergent and water to all
connections and other suspect points and checking for bubbles. Do not attempt to locate
leaks by using an open flame. Repair and re-test the system before putting it into
operation.
For more detailed general instructions on the installation of Propane systems on boats,
please refer to the American Boat and Yacht Council’s pamphlets #A-1 and #A-22
respectively. These pamphlets may be ordered directly from A.B.Y.C.
If you are replacing an older diesel/kerosene or an older propane version you may need to
drill out the old pop rivets with ( 1/8” drill ) connecting the burner bottom base to the
heater. Place the new base so the bottom of the base is flush with the bottom of the heater
and mark 2 holes on each side of the heater flanges. Drill with 3/16” and use 8-32 or M6
size screws and nuts. Some versions may have the 4 holes already tapped to fit 8-32
thread screws.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Check all gas connections for possible leaks. Turn the valve on your heater to the
“OFF” position. Open valve on gas supply tank. Using a strong solution of half
liquid soap and half water check each gas connection, one at a time, by brushing
the soap and water solution over
all the connections.
Presence of bubbles
indicates a leak. Tighten fitting and re-check for leaks.
Do not use an open
flame to check for gas leaks
.
2.
The first time you use your heater you will have to purge the air out of the supply
lines before it will light. Turn the knob to the “pilot” position and push in. You
may hear a hissing sound. Keep the knob pushed in until you smell gas, then
immediately turn the knob to the “OFF” position. Wait a few moments before
lighting to allow any excess propane to dissipate. Purging air can take quite a
while if you have a long supply line. This is only necessary when the supply line
is disconnected from the fuel supply.
3.
Do not forget to remove any plastic before using.
4.
Push control knob in, hold it in and turn counter-clockwise to pilot position. If this
is the first time or the first time in a while that the heater is being used, push in the
knob on the pilot setting for 60 second or until you smell gas. This will purge the
pilot light parts of air. Then, with the knob depressed on pilot, push in the black
spark-ignition button to ignite pilot. Once ignited, hold control knob in for 10 to
20 seconds. If it does not light, repeat this procedure. If it still does not light,
purge the line some more or hold match over pilot.
