ASSEMBLY CONTINUED
OPERATION
The cylinder must have a listed overfilling prevention
device.
The cylinder must have a connection device
compatible with the connection for the appliance.
The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve.
Never connect an unregulated propane cylinder to the
heater.
• Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near
this appliance.
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
• Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve that is
provided with the cylinder valve. Other type of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
• The knob on the LP tank
must be closed. Make sure
that the knob is turned
clockwise to a full stop. The
cylinder supply system must
be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. Check that the
control knob on the control
unit is turned off. Hold the
regulator in one hand and
insert the nipple into the
valve outlet. (See Figure 15) Be sure the nipple
is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut
connects to the large outside threads on the valve
outlet.
• Hand-tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it
comes to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only.
To disconnect:
• Fully close the tank valve by turning clockwise. Turn
the coupling nut counterclockwise until the regulator
assembly detaches.
To check for a leak:
1. Make 2-3 oz. leak check solution (one part liquid
dishwashing detergent and three parts water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where regulator
connects to cylinder and to all hose and valve
connections
3. Make sure all patio heater and light valves are OFF.
4. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection:
Disconnect, reconnect and perform another leak
check. Apply the soapy solution to all hose and
valve connections. If you continue to see bubbles
after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective
and should be returned to cylinder's place of
purchase.
3. If leak is at hose/regulator connection,
this part is defective and you should contact the
customer service department for replacement.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the
connections are secure.
NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened
or removed, user must perform a complete
leak test.
DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD.
For outdoor use only. Never use inside house,
or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This
heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use
in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid
endangering your life.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to operate until you
have read and understand all general safety
information in this manual and all assembly
is complete and leak checks have been
performed.
