OPERATION

bEFORE TURNING GAS SUPPlY ON

Your heater was designed and approved
for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT use it
inside a building, or any other enclosed

area. Make sure surrounding areas are free

of combustible materials, gasoline and

other flammable vapors or liquids.

Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections

are tight and there are no leaks. Be sure that access panels are 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 re-lighting 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 the

manufacturer.

lIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
