The Fuel System:
moves through the solenoid valve and out the nozzle.
The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around the combustion chamber.
The Air System:
This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.
The Ignition System:
the fuel and air mixture.
The Safety Control System:
motor will continue to run, but no heat is produced.

PROPANE SUPPLY

Propane/LP gas and propane/LP tank(s) are to be
furnished by the user.
Use this heater only with a propane/LP vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the
Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Propane
Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.2. Your lo-
cal library or fire department will have these
booklets.
The amount of propane/LP gas ready for use from
propane/LP tanks varies. Two factors decide this
amount:
1. The amount of propane/LP gas in the tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the number of 100-pound

Air For Heating
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. You
may need a larger tank in colder weather. Your
local propane/LP gas dealer will help you select
the proper supply system. The minimum sur-
rounding air temperature rating for each heater
is -20°F (-7° C).

VENTILATION

WARNING: Follow the mini-
mum fresh, outside air ventila-
tion requirements. If proper
fresh, outside air ventilation is
not provided, carbon monoxide
poisoning can occur. Provide
proper fresh, outside air ventila-
tion before running heater.
Provide a fresh air opening of at least three square
feet for each 100,000 Btu/Hr (105,500 k/j) rating.
This heater requires a fresh air opening of at least
11.25 square feet (1.05 m
if more heaters are being used.
