1. Provide propane supply system (see
Propane Supply, page 5).
2. Connect POL fitting on hose/regulator
assembly to propane tank(s). Turn POL
fitting counterclockwise into threads on
tank. Tighten firmly using wrench.
IMPORTANT: Position regulator so that
hose leaving the regulator is in a hori-
zontal position (see Figure 3). This places
the regulator vent in the proper position to
protect it from the weather.
3. Connect hose to valve inlet (see Figure
4). Tighten firmly using a wrench.
IMPORTANT: Use extra hose or piping
if needed. Install extra hose or piping
between hose/regulator assembly and
propane tank. You must use the regulator
supplied with heater.
4. Open propane supply valve on propane
tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly,
excess-flow check valve on propane tank
will stop gas flow. You may hear a click
from the excess-flow check valve closing.
If this happens, reset the excess-flow
check valve by closing propane supply
valve and open again slowly.
