Make sure burner orifice/hose connection is in the
down position so the hose curves to the ground
(figure 20). If hose does not curve to the ground,
turn hose at the orifice hose connection end until the
hose curves to the ground.

Check regulator control valve
Close regulator control valve and slowly open LP tank valve by turning it counterclockwise two
complete turns. If gas passes through the regulator to the burner, hear or smelling gas escaping,
immediately close the LP tank by turning LP valve clockwise. The regulator control valve is faulty,
do
not
use and call Eastman Outdoors Customer Service Department at 1-800-241-4833 for replacement.
If no gas passes through the regulator control valve, proceed to next step.
The LP tank must be in the upright position for proper function of the cylinder supply system so it is
arranged for vapor withdrawal.
NOTE:
Most LP tanks are equipped with a safety device to shut off the flow of gas if the hose is cut or
severed. Sometimes this safety device may be tripped when lighting the burner or opening the LP tank
valve too quickly. To prevent this, always make sure regulator control valve is closed before opening
LP tank valve and always open LP tank valve slowly.
If the safety device is activated (shuts off/limits gas supply to appliance), close LP tank valve and open
regulator control valve to release gas remaining in the regulator. Close regulator control valve and
disconnect the QCC1 fitting from LP tank. This will reset the safety shut off device. Reconnect the
QCC1 to the LP tank by following above instructions.
Step 1.6 Leak Testing
Close regulator control valve, by turning it clockwise. Apply a mixture of equal parts liquid detergent
(dishwashing soap) and water to LP tank valve, QCC1 connection, regulator, regulator control valve, all
connections, hose crimps, entire length of hose and hose/burner attachment connections with a sponge
(figures 21, 22 and 23).

Open LP tank valve one turn by slowly turning it counter clockwise. If you hear gas rushing, smell gas,
or see growing bubbles, immediately turn LP tank off and make sure all connections are tight.
•
Do not
smoke when checking regulator control valve.
•
Do not
check regulator control valve near ignition sources such as gasoline,
open flame, or electrical appliances.
•
Do not
open LP tank valve for more than 5 seconds.
•
If gas is escaping, close LP tank valve and
do not
use appliance.
•
Conduct leak test every time LP tank is connected or reconnected.
•
Do not use open flame to check for gas leaks.
•
Do not smoke during the leak test.
•
Always conduct leak test outdoors in well ventilated area away from ignition
sources such as gasoline, open flame, sparks or electrical appliances.
