3. Connect hose to valve inlet (see Figure 4,
page 6). Tighten firmly using a wrench.
IMPORTANT: Use extra hose or piping
if needed. Install extra hose or piping
between hose/regulator assembly and
propane tank. You must use the regulator
supplied with heater.
4. Open propane supply valve on propane
tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly,
excess-flow check valve on propane tank
will significantly reduce gas flow. If this
happens, you may hear a click inside
the regulator assembly and/or notice the
heater burning at a very low heat output.
You will not be able to increase heat output
when you adjust heat setting knob. Do not
run heater in this condition. To reset the
excess flow check valve, close propane/LP
supply valve and open again slowly.
