WARNING
Fire or explosion hazard.
Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
1. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn off
the gas supply at the heater service valve before
starting installation, and perform gas leak test after
completion of installation.
2. Do not force the safety gas control button. Use only
normal hand pressure to depress the button. Never
use any tools. If the button will not operate by
normal hand pressure, the control should be
replaced by a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in fire or explosion.
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. Position heater properly before use. The heater must
be installed on a level, flat, horizontal and stable
surface when hot or in operation and according to
minimum clearances from combustible surfaces
such as walls, or ceilings. Do not place combustible
materials within this zone of clearance. Minimum
safe distances are as follows:
Top to Ceiling:
5 ft. (1.52 m)
All Sides:
5 ft. (1.52 m)
Gas Supply:
U.S. 6 ft. min. (1.83 m)
Canada 10 ft. min. (3.05 m)
3. L.P Gas Installation Requirements
■
Ensure all L.P. gas containers are secured and
protected from people, tipover, vehicular traffic
and contact.
■
L.P. gas containers must be located on a flat,level,
and stable surface.
Contact your local authorities, L.P. gas dealers, or fire
marshalls for specifics dealing with installation in
your area.
4. Position the heater and its gas supply hose so as to
protect heater and its gas supply hose from traffic.
Protect hoses with a shielding device of suitable
nature to protect the hose from traffic and movement
or other construction equipment.
5. The heater is approved for indoor use only. The
heater shall be installed so it is not directly exposed
to water spray, rain, and /or dripping water.
6. 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
Installation Instructions
materials (tar, concrete, plaster, etc.) which can
affect safe operation and could result in property
damage or injury.
7. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible
tarpaulins, canvas, plastics, wind barriers, or similar
coverings shall be located at least 10 feet from the
coverings. The coverings shall be securely fastened
to prevent ignition or upsetting of the heater due to
wind action on the covering or other material.
8. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as
follows:
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■
Do not use open flame (matches, torches, candles,
etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■
Use only approved leak detectors.
■
Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires or
explosions.
■
Fires or explosions can lead to property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
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.
-- Furthermore 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.
-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary to
stop the leak.
