OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leak Check
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak check solution (one part liquid dish washing detergent and three parts water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where hose attaches to regulator.
3. Apply several drops of solution where regulator connects to cylinder, apply the soapy solution to
all hose & valve connections.
4. Make sure all patio heater and light valves are OFF.
5. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at hose/regulator connection: Add teflon tape and re-attach the regulator to the hose with
wrenches. If bubbles continue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place of purchase.
3. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak
check. Apply the soapy solution to all hose & valve connections. If you continue to see bubbles after
several attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to cylinder’s place of purchase.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.
NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.

unventilated or enclosed areas. This heater consumes air
(oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to
avoid endangering your life.
Before Turning Gas Supply ON:
1. Your heater was designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do NOT use it inside a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapours or liquids.
3. Make sure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are tight and
there are no leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed during assembly or
servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.
Before Lighting:
1. Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at least
annually. If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected areas
should be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the
replacement hose assembly specified by manufacturer.
Lighting:
Note: This heater is equipped with a pilot light that allows for safer startups and shutdowns. Pilot must
be lit before main burner can be started.
