Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See
chapter 5 of the standard for storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gas,
ANS/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department should have this book.
Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the appliance. A cylinder must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
A disconnected cylinder must have dust caps tightly installed and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. The maximum inlet gas
supply pressure: 250 psi /1750 kPa.
The minimum inlet gas supply pressure: 5 psi /35kPa. Manifold pressure with
regulator provided: 11-inch W.C/ 2.74 kPa. The minimum hourly of 17000 Btu
/4.98 kW is required input rating for an appliance for automatic operation at
ratings less than full input rating.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be
used.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with national fuel gas code, ANS Z223.1/NFPA54, natural gas and propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or propane storage and handling code, B149.2.
The knob on the propane 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. 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.
A dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be
checked by your cylinder supplier. Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged
valve connection.
The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for propane gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) or the standard for cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of
dangerous goods and commission, CAN/CSA-B339.
