MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1.
The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a
qualified person.
2.
Before each use, check the soft "O" ring seal at the bullnose of the POL
fitting. If the "O" ring is cut, scuffed, or otherwise damaged, replace it with
part number 73786.
3.
Turn off the gas at the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) when the heater is not in
use.
4.
When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection between the
LP-gas supply cylinder(s) and the heater must be disconnected and
the cylinder(s) removed from the heater and stored out of doors and in
accordance with Chapter 5 of the standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA B149.1, Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code.
Size and Capacity of Propane
Cylinders Required
The charts on the following page show the approximate size of the cylinder
required for these heaters. To use the chart:
1. Select the lowest air temperature expected (at the bottom of the chart).
2. Move straight up to time of operation desired (left side of chart).
3. Read the cylinder size required.
All heaters should have:
full cylinders
good air circulation
no frost on cylinders
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 wiring diagram show the heater as it was constructed. Do
not use a heater which is different from that shown. In this regard, use only the
hose, regulator and cylinder connection fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied
with the heater. IMPORTANT Match the color stripe on the hangtag attached
to the hose assembly with the color on the label located near the propane
inlet fitting on 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.
In-warranty products will be repaired with no charge for either parts or labor.
Please include a brief statement indicating date, place of purchase, the nature
of the problem and proof of purchase.
Out-of-warrranty products will be repaired with a charge for parts and labor.
