■ Reducing the number of bends will ensure that the
warm air exiting the heater flows freely, thereby
preventing overheating. If there are excessive bends,
the high limit switches may open.
4. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible tarpaulins,
canvas, plastics, wind barriers, or similar coverings
shall be located at least 10 ft./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.
5. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as
follows:
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections, fittings
and adapters upstream of the gas control with
approved gas leak detectors.
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.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and proper
application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Furthermore, 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.
Premier Ductable Heaters
-- 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.
6. A qualified service agency must check for proper
operating gas pressure upon installation of the
heater.
7. Light according to instructions on heater or within
owner's manual.
8. Make sure the heater has the proper gas
regulator for the application. A regulator must be
connected to the gas supply so that gas pressure
at the inlet to the gas valve is regulated within the
range specified on the dataplate at all times.
• The regulator supplied with the Premier 350DF 2.0
heaters are suitable for use with propane gas and
natural gas.
• Contact your gas supplier, or the L.B. White Co.,
LLC. if you have any questions.
9. The heater must be installed so as not to interfere
with or obstruct normal exits, emergency exits,
doors and walkways.
10. Railing, fencing or suitable substitute materials
must be used to keep the heating equipment
from any people using and visiting the structure.
11. The heater shall be located so that rain, ice, or
snow drainage from the structure does not affect
equipment operation. If the heater is mounted
outside, it must be mounted above any pooled or
standing water. If the unit is to be located on the
ground, a surrounding trench is recommended to
drain any rain, ice, or snow away from the unit.
12. The ground and surrounding terrain must be
cleared of any combustible vegetation and other
combustible materials when the heater is utilized
outside.
13. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical devices,
the thermostat can fail. Thermostat failure may
result in an underheating condition. The
thermostat should be tested to make sure it
