PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1.­ Check­the­heater­for­possible­shipping­damage.­If­any­is­
found,­immediately­notify­the­factory.
2.­ Follow­all­of­the­"Precautions".­
3.­ Connect­the­POL­fitting­of­hose­and­regulator­assembly­
to­the­propane­cylinder­by­rotating­the­POL­nut­
counterclockwise­into­the­propane­cylinder's­valve­outlet­and­
securely­tighten­with­a­wrench.
4.­ Connect­the­hose­to­the­heater­by­rotating­the­hose­fitting­
clockwise.
5.­ Securely­tighten­all­gas­connections.
6.­ Open­the­cylinder's­gas­valve­and­check­all­gas­connections­
with­a­soap­and­water­solution.­DO­NOT­USE­A­FLAME.
7.­ Connect­power­cord­to­well-grounded­1 15V,­60­Hz,­1Ø­source­
of­power.
8.­ When­using­an­extension­cord,­make­certain­that­it­is­a­
3-wire­(grounded)­cord­of­proper­wire­size.
START
1.­ Slowly­open­the­main­valve­at­propane­cylinder­to­prevent­
excess­flow­check­valve­from­closing.
2.­ Set­thermostat­to­full­on.­­Heater­will­ignite­automatically.
3.­ Adjust­ball­valve­on­control­panel­to­desired­burn­rate.
4.­ Set­thermostat­to­desired­temperature.­Heater­will­turn­off­
and­on­automatically­as­the­temperature­varies­in­the­heater­
area.
STOP
1.­ Securely­close­valve­on­the­propane­cylinder.
2.­ Continue­to­operate­heater­until­all­fuel­in­the­hose­has­
burned.
3.­ Turn­the­heater­thermostat­to­"off".­­For­extended­shut­down­
or­in­areas­where­the­temperature­is­below­0°F,­unplug­the­
heater.
RESTART AFTER SAFETY SHUTDOWN
1.­ Securely­close­valve­at­propane­cylinder.­Unplug­heater.
2.­ Wait­5­minutes.
3.­ Restart­following­"Start"­procedure.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1.­ The­heater­should­be­inspected­before­each­use,­and­at­least­
annually­by­a­qualified­person.
2.­ Before­each­use,­check­the­soft­"O"­ring­seat­at­the­bullnose­
of­the­POL­fitting.­If­the­"O"­ring­is­cut,­scuffed,­or­otherwise­
damaged,­replace­it­with­part­number­6681.­[Is­this­the­right­
#?]
3.­ Turn­off­the­gas­at­the­LP-gas­supply­cylinder(s)­when­the­
heater­is­not­in­use.
4.­ When­the­heater­is­to­be­stored­indoors,­the­connection­
between­the­LP-gas­supply­cylinder(s)­and­the­heater­must­
be­disconnected­and­the­cylinder(s)­removed­from­the­heater­
and­stored­out­of­doors­and­in­accordance­with­Chapter­5­of­
the­standard­for­Storage­and­Handling­of­Liquefied­Petroleum­
