exterior surfaces from the pole down. Do not apply to emitter screen or domes.
Before Turning Gas Supply “ON”
WARNING: Your heater was designed and approved for OUTDOOR USE
ONLY. DO NOT use it inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
WARNING: Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.
1. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation.
2. Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks.
3. Be sure the access panel is clear of debris.
4. Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened
prior to starting.
Before Lighting
1. Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at
least annually.
2. If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes for gas to dissipate.
Lighting
1. Turn control knob to “OFF” position. (Figure 11)
2. Connect LP gas tank.
3. If using an 20 lb LP gas tank, turn LP gas tank valve
“OPEN”.
4. Push in control knob and rotate to “ON/HIGH”
position. This will activate the built-in ignitor and
light the burner. If necessary, keep depressing and
rotating knob until burner lights. (Figure 12)
5. Once burner is lit, hold control knob in for at least 30
seconds and release.
6. If burner does not stay lit, turn to “OFF” position and
wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 2 and 3.
7. If ignitor does not light burner, use a lit match
positioned against the bottom of emitter screen at
burner location, and repeat steps 2 and 3.
(Figure 13)
8. Once burner is lit, rotate knob to desired heating
level.
If you experience any ignition problem, turn off the
heater and gas supply, and consult “Troubleshooting”.
Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from
the heater’s first use. Smoke and odor from
the burning of oils used in manufacturing will
appear. Both smoke and odor will dissipate
after approximately 30 minutes. The heater
should NOT produce thick black smoke.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on.
To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the
control knob to the “LOW” position. Then, turn the knob
to the level of heat desired.
When heater is “ON”:
1. Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense
heat. The color is more visible at night.
2. Burner will display tongues of blue flame. These
flames should not be yellow or produce thick black
smoke, indicating an obstruction of airflow through
the burners.
3. If yellow flame is detected, turn off heater and gas
supply and consult “Troubleshooting”.
4. Visually check burner flames at each use and make sure flame height matches illustration.
