completion of installation.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement.
2. The heater must sit on its wheels and front support.
It shall be installed on a flat, level, and horizontal
surface when in operation and according to mini-
mum safe distances from combustible materials.
Safe distances are given on the heater dataplate
and on page 4 of this manual.
3. L.P Gas Installation Requirements
Ensure all L.P. gas containers are secured and
protected from people, vehicular traffic and
contact.
L.P. gas containers must be located on a
flat,level, and stable surface.
L.P. gas cylinders (100 lb. cylinders/tanks) must
be secured from tip-over.
Contact your local authorities, L.P. gas dealers, or
fire marshalls for specifics dealing with installation in
your area.
4. The heater's gas pressure regulator (with pressure
relief valve) must be protected from adverse
weather conditions (rain, ice, snow) as well as
from building materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.)
which can affect safe operation and could result in
property damage or injury.

fittings and adapters upstream of the gas control
with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and proper
application of pipe compound before further
tightening.
-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to
stop the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any leaks
are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to
prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that
could cause flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fittings and joints
as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet
connections with approved gas leak detectors.
-- If a leak is detected, check the components
involved for cleanliness in the thread areas and
proper application of pipe compound before
further tightening.
