Connecting the Controllers to Your System:
WARNING!
–
Make sure that the tower is NOT plugged in until you have fully connected the ignition and
ground wires or electric shock could occur from the ignition wire!
CAUTION!
–
Heat damages electronics.
Locate the control units, solenoid valves, tower and wiring as far
from heat sources (burners) as possible. You should never feel your control modules getting warm to the
touch. If they do, they are too close to heat sources! The maximum surface temperature should never exceed
125F (52C). While the solenoid valves will get somewhat warm during operation they should never be
uncomfortably hot to the touch. Locate them as far from the heat source as possible.
Caution!
Always route wires away from heat sources and hot surfaces to prevent burning and short circuits.
Important Warranty Information!
Electronics damaged from excessive heat are not covered under
warranty! We have installed a non-reversible heat detector inside the control enclosure to detect excessive
heat. There are no user-serviceable components inside of the enclosure. Tamper labels that have been
removed or damaged will void your warranty.
Never Do These Things!
NEVER
LEAVE THIS EQUIPMENT UNATTENDED
NEVER
ALLOW CHILDREN NEAR THIS EQUIPMENT
NEVER
Expose to heat or moisture. If it is warm to the touch it is too close to heat source.
NEVER
HEAT COOKING OIL WITH THIS EQUIPMENT
NEVER
operate on soft, combustible or uneven surfaces like dirt, gravel, wood or asphalt
NEVER
operate indoors, in a garage, under an overhang, porch, deck, carport or similar structure
NEVER
use near and combustible chemicals, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids
NEVER
Bypass the GFCI circuit protection
NEVER
Exceed 125F (52C) surface temperature
NEVER
use the gas solenoid valve as a normal shutoff
Always Do These Things!
ALWAYS
OPERATE OUTSIDE ONLY, AT LEAST 30FT FROM OTHER STRUCTURES
ALWAYS
USE ONLY ON LEVEL AND STABLE CONCRETE, BRICK OR SIMILAR HARD NON-FLAMMABLE
SURFACES
.
ALWAYS
Connect to a GFCI circuit
ALWAYS
Check that all fasteners are properly tightened prior to each use
ALWAYS
Ensure that the base of the tower is resting on a hard surface
ALWAYS
Use the propane tank shutoff valve or a separate valve when not in use
ALWAYS
Use genuine Blichmann Engineering replacement parts
Install the gas solenoid valve:
The gas solenoid valve is turned on and off by the controller as needed to maintain the temperature of the
tank. Locate it as close to the burner as possible but DO NOT locate it in an area that will expose it to
excessive heat. If you can’t comfortably rest your hand on the valve during operation it is too hot! We have
included a male and a female flare X ¼” NPT fitting to aid you in connecting the valve to your gas supply.
