General Installation Instructions
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn off
gas supply at the heater service valve before starting
installation, and perform gas leak test after comple-
tion of installation.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement.
2. Using a level, make sure the heater is level and
properly positioned before use. Observe and obey
all minimum safe distances of the heater to the
nearest combustible materials. Safe distances are
given on the heater dataplate and specifications on
page 4 of this manual.
3. This heater may be installed either indoors or
outdoors. For indoor installations, the heater must
be vented to the outside. See installation of inside
structure section of this manual.
4. The heater's gas pressure regulator (with pressure
relief valve) must be protected from adverse
weather conditions (rain, ice, snow) as well as
from building materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.)
which can affect safe operation and could result in
property damage or injury.
5. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible
tarpaulins, canvas, plastics, wind barriers, or
similar coverings shall be located at least 10
feet/3.05 meters from the coverings. The coverings
shall be securely fastened to prevent ignition or
upsetting of the heater due to wind action on the
covering or other material.
6. Extension cord wire size requirements
- Up to 50 Feet, use 12/3 AWG
- Up to 100 Feet, use 10/3 AWG
- Beyond 100 ft., consult your electrician

7. Check all connections for gas leaks using
approved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is
performed as follows:
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not use open flame (matches, torches,
candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■ Use only approved leak detectors.
■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires
or explosions.
■ Fires or explosions can lead to property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fittings and adapters upstream of the gas control
with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and proper
application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop
the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any leaks are
stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to prevent
injury caused from hidden leaks that could cause
flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fittings and joints
as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet
connections with approved gas leak detectors.
-- If a leak is detected, check the components
involved for cleanliness in the thread areas and
proper application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to stop
the leak.
-- If necessary, replace the parts or components
involved if the leak cannot be stopped.
-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identified and
repaired before proceeding.
