Refilling the Propane Tank
ALL NEW PROPANE TANKS MUST BE PURGED BEFORE THE
FIRST FILLING.
▪ Turn heater gas valve knob and gas tank valve to OFF position.
▪ Thread POL fitting into interior threads of propane tank valve. This
fitting has LEFT-HANDED THREADS(reversed). Turn POL fitting
COUNTER CLOCKWISE to tighten and CLOCKWISE to loosen.
Protect POL fitting from damage when disconnected from tank.
▪ Have tank filled by your local propane gas supplier.
▪ Some propane tanks have a bleed-off valve. This valve should be
inspected for leaks after each filling of the tank. Turn clockwise to
close the valve.
▪ Fasten full propane tank and connect POL fitting to tank valve by
turning COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
▪ With heater gas valve knob still in the OFF position, turn ON tank
valve and check all gas connections with a 50/50 liquid dish soap and
water solution to be sure they are tight and leak proof. The formation
of bubbles indicate a gas leak. Correct all leaks before using the
heater. Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Propane is safe to use when properly handled. Careless handling of
the propane gas tank could result in fire and/or an explosion.
Therefore:
▪ Always keep tank securely fastened in an upright position.
▪ Avoid tipping tank on its side when connected to a regulator since
this may cause damage to diaphragm in the regulator.
▪ Handle valves with care.
▪ Never connect an unregulated propane tank to heater.
▪ Do not subject propane tank to excessive heat.
▪ Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the propane tank after each
use.
▪ The POL fitting must be protected when disconnected from the
propane tank.
▪ Never store a propane gas tank inside a building or in the vicinity of
any gas burning appliance.
WARNING! THE TANK MUST NEVER BE STORED IN A BUILDING,
GARAGE OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA.
