PROPANE SUPPLY

Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be fur-
nished by the user.
Use this heater only with a propane vapor with-
drawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the Stan-
dard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Pe-
troleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA
B149.2. Your local library or fire department will
have this booklet.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from
propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this
amount:
1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed to operate with a minimum
20 lb. (9 kg) tank. You may need two or more tanks
or one larger tank in colder weather. Use a 100 lb.
(45 kg) tank for longer operation or in very cold
weather. Less gas is vaporized at lower tempera-
tures. Your local propane gas dealer will help you
select the proper supply system.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Test all gas pip-
ing and connections for leaks
after installation or servicing.
Never use an open flame to
check for a leak. Apply a mixture
of liquid soap and water to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak. Correct all leaks at once.
1. Wrench tighten the fuel connector nut into the
propane tank valve (see Figure 2). Turn fuel
connector nut counterclockwise to tighten.
Threads are left-handed.
2. Connect hose to inlet connector (see Figure 3).
Tighten firmly using a wrench.
3. Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s)
slowly. Note: if not opened slowly, excess-flow
check valve on propane tank may stop gas flow.
If this happens, you may hear a click inside the
regulator assembly, this is the check valve clos-
ing. To reset the excess-flow check valve, close
propane supply valve and open it again slowly.
