BEFORE TURNING GAS SUPPLY ON:
1. Your heater was designed and approved for outdoor
use only. Do NOT use it inside a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors or liquids.
3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation.
Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are
no leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be
sure any component removed during 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. If relighting a hot heater, always wait at
least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive
abrasion, cuts or wear. Suspected areas should be
leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced
prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose
assembly specified by manufacturer.
3. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with the appliance must be used.
LIGHTING:
1. Turn on valve on gas cylinder to the "ON" position.
2. Press and turn the
control knob to high

the igniter button
several times until the

minutes or more before
turning the knob to
desired temperature
setting. (See Figure 17)
5. If the burner flame goes
out, turn off the heater
and wait at least five
minutes or more to let
the gas dissipate before
re-lighting to to avoid
gas explosion. Repeat Steps 2-4.
NOTE: Improper operation can cause injury
or property damage. If burner fails to remain
lit, all valves should be closed and a waiting
period of at least five minutes should pass
before attempting to light.
If you experience any ignition problem, please consult
troubleshooting on page 10.
CAUTION! Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from
the heater's first use. Smoke and odor from
the burning of oils used in manufacturing will
appear. Both smoke and odor will dissipate
after approximately 30 minutes. The heater
should NOT produce thick black smoke.
NOTE: The burner may be noisy when initially
turned on. Turn the knob to the level of heat
desired.
