assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.
Before lighting
1. Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use and by a qualified service
person at least annually
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Sus-
pected areas should be leak tested. If the hose leaks it must be replaced prior to op-
eration. Only use the replacement hose assembly specified by the manufacturer.
