INSTALLATION TO THE PROPANE GAS TANK
IMPORTANT: You must use a propane/LP gas supply cylinder that is compatible with the connection device
provided with the hose and regulator.
REFILLING THE PROPANE GAS TANK
ALL NEW CYLINDERS MUST BE PURGED BEFORE THE FIRST FILLING.
• Turn heater gas valve knob and gas tank valve to OFF position.
• Propane tank valve equipped with the old style tting has LEFT HANDED THREADS. Turn POL tting
CLOCKWISE to loosen. Protect POL tting when disconnected from tank.
• Have tank lled by your local Propane gas supplier.
• Fasten full Propane tank and connect POL tting to tank valve by turning COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
• With heater gas valve knob still in the OFF position, turn ON tank valve and check for leaks
with soap solution.
WARNING
: Purging and lling of LP gas tanks must be performed by personnel who
has been thoroughly trained in accepted LP gas industry procedures. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in explosion, re, severe personal injury, or death.
1. Provide propane/LP supply system. Ensure that the valve on the cylinder is fully closed by turning the knob
fully clockwise ( ). Ensure that the cylinder is fully upright for vapor withdrawl. (see size/capacity, page 7).
2. Connect hose to heater inlet. (See Figure 1). Tighten rmly using a wrench. You must use the regulator
supplied with heater.
3. Connect fuel gas tting hose/regulator assembly to propane LP tank(s).
(See gure 2) Turn POL Fuel tting counterclockwise into threads on tank. Tighten
rmly using a wrench. Some models have a hand wheel that can be used to tighten the tting. This hand
wheel can be slid off of the nut so that a wrench can also be used to tighten the tting. IMPORTANT:
Position regulator so that hose leaving the regulator is in a horizontal position.
4. Open propane/LP supply valve on propane/LP tank(s) slowly. NOTE: If not opened slowly, excess ow
device in regulator may stop gas ow. If this happens, close propane/LP supply valve, wait one minute
(or until you hear a click) and open again slowly.
5. Check all connections for leaks. Apply a 50/50 solution of liquid dish soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected.
6. Close propane / LP supply valve before attempting to repair connection.
