To assure safety, proper function and longevity
of the heater, regular maintenance is required.
The frequency of maintenance will depend on the
usage of the unit. Review the following concern-
ing the criteria for a properly functioning heater.
Failing to follow proper, regular maintenance will
void warranty.
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 burn-
ing 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: Do not use alternates. For this
heater, the regulator must be set as shown in Speci-
fications, page 2. If there is any uncertainty about
the regulator setting, have it checked.
