For Easiest Assembly:

•  To avoid losing any small components or hardware, assemble your product on a hard level 

surface that does not have cracks or openings.

•  Clear an area large enough to layout all components and hardware.
•  When applicable, tighten all hardware connections by hand first. Once the step is 

completed go back and fully tighten all hardware.

•  Follow all steps in order to properly assemble your product.

To complete assembly you will need:

•  (1)  Leak Detection Solution (Instructions on how to make solution are included in step 

Operations Section)

•  (1)  Precision Filled LP Gas Grill Tank with Acme Type 1 external threaded valve connection 

(4-5 gallon size)

Note:

 You must follow all steps to properly assemble heater.

Typical assembly: approximately 1 (one) hour.

Step

2

Attach Legs

A.  Attach legs to base using 6 sets of small bolt (D), small lock washer (K), and 

medium nut (H). Finger tighten only.

Note:

 Do not fully tighten until Step 4.

B. Attach the “S” hook on the tank retention chain to the left and right leg.

Step

3

Attach weight plate

A. Lay base assembly on its side.

B.  Insert weight plate into base, feet out. Secure using a 9/16” wrench, and 1 set of 

carriage bolt (F), large lock washer (L), and extra large nut (J).

Note:

  If you plan to anchor your heater permanently, be sure to line up two outer 

holes in base with those in weight plate so that your anchor bolt will pass through 
both holes.

C. Place base assembly upright.

Step

4

Attach platform and post

A.  Attach post to platform and legs using 7/16” wrench, 6 sets of small bolt (D), 

washer (M), small lock washer (K), medium nut (H).

B.  Fully tighten all nuts and bolts from Step 2.

Tip: 

To tighten use a 7/16” wrench on bolt and a 7/16” socket wrench on nut.

Step

5

Attach shroud

Slide shroud cover over pole and base assembly until bottom of shroud rests on 
base.

Step

1

Unpacking heater

Note:

 When unpacking your heater from the carton, you will find that the engine 

assembly and the base have been bolted together for shipping purposes.  

Remove the three nuts at the top of the base and separate the engine from the 
base. 

Note:

 Retain these nuts as you will use them later.
