OPERATION
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections for leaks after
installation or servicing. Never
use an open ame to check for
a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid
soap and water to all joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
Correct all leaks at once.
1. Provide propane supply system (see
Propane Supply, page 4).
2. Connect fuel gas tting on hose/regulator
assembly to propane tank(s). Turn fuel
gas tting counterclockwise into threads
on tank. Tighten rmly using a wrench.
IMPORTANT: Tighten regulator with vent
pointing down. Pointing vent down pro-
tects regulator from weather damage.
3. Connect hose to the valve inlet. Tighten
rmly using a wrench. You must use the
regulator supplied with heater even if
propane tank has one.
4. Open propane supply valve on propane
tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly,
excess-ow check valve on propane tank
may stop gas ow. If this happens, you may
hear a click inside the regulator assembly,
this is the check valve closing. To reset the
excess ow check valve, close propane
supply valve and open again slowly.
5. Check all connections for leaks. Apply
mixture of liquid soap and water to gas
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak that
must be corrected.
