WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug the electrical cord from the outlet before
performing any service maintenance.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death,
injury or property damage.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Turn off the gas supply to the heater before perform-
ing any service or maintenance.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death,
injury or property damage.
The electrode and sensor are not adjustable. DO
NOT change location or position as part of this
conversion kit.
Step 1
CAUTION THE UNIT MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO EITHER
THE GAS SUPPLY OR THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY, BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH CONVERSION.
Step 2
Remove and retain the four screws holding the manifold on to the
burner box (Figure 10). Rotate the valve/ manifold assembly, away
from the burners (Figure 11). The valve/manifold assembly holds
the orifices (3 orifices on unit MHU50, 5 orifices on unit MHU80, 8
orifices on unit MHU125). This will allow access to the orifices on the
manifold, and also the adjustment spring in the valve/regulator.
Step 3
Remove and discard the adjustment spring cap from gas valve/
regulator with a flat blade screw driver by turning the screw counter-
clockwise. Remove and discard the regulator adjustment screw found
under the cap. Remove and discard the spring that is located under
the adjustment screw. Take the spring kit from the conversion kit,
and compare the part number of the kit to the parts list on page 3. If
it does not match, immediately contact Mr. Heater, Inc. for the correct
kit. After confirming the spring kit is correct for the heater model you
are converting, install the new spring and adjustment screw. Turn
spring adjustment screw clockwise (in) until the screw stops, then turn
it counter-clockwise (back) 1 ½ turns. Place conversion label supplied
with the spring kit on the valve near the adjustment screw cover
opening.
Step 4
Remove and discard the orifices (3 orifices on unit MHU50, 5 orifices
on unit MHU80, 8 orifices on unit MHU125) from the manifold with
using a ½ “ open end wrench. Turn them counter-clockwise to
remove. Take the new orifices from the conversion kit and before
installing, confirm that the number stamped on the side of the
orifice matches the number for the kit being installed. If it does not,
immediately contact Mr. Heater, Inc. for the correct kit. If they are
the correct orifices, install them in the manifold using caution not to
cross thread.
