propane gas can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Makecertainyoureadandunderstandallwarnings.Keepthismanualforreference.

It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

• For indoor use only. Provide adequate ventilation.

• Do not use heater outdoors or in occupied dwellings.

• Do not use heater in living or sleeping quarters.

• Use only in well-vented areas. Before using heater, provide at least a 0.14 m2

(1.5-square-foot) opening of fresh, outside air.

• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint

thinner, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in areas

with high dust content.

• Keep heater away from strong drafts, water spray, rain, or dripping water.

• Install and use heater with care. Follow all local ordinances and codes. In the

absence of local ordinances and codes, refer to CAN/CGA-B149.2 Installation

Code for Propane. This instructs on the safe storage and handling of propane

gases.

• Check heater for damage before each use. Do not use a damaged heater.

• Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Keep propane tank(s) below 38°C (100° F).

• Do not use heater below ground level. Propane gas is heavier than air. If a

leak occurs, propane gas will sink to the lowest possible level.

• Use only the electrical voltage and frequency speciﬁed on model plate.

• Use only a three-prong, grounded extension cord.

• Use only the hose and factory preset regulator provided with the heater.

• Inspect hose before each use of heater. If highly worn or cut, replace before

using heater. Use the replacement hose assembly speciﬁed in this manual.

• Keep heater at least 2 meters (six feet) from propane tank(s). Do not point

heater at propane tank(s) within 6 meters (20 feet).

• Minimum heater clearances from combustibles:

Front outlet: 2 m (6 Ft.) Sides: 0.61 m (2 Ft.)

Top: 2 m (6 Ft.) Rear: 0.61 m (2 Ft.)

• Locate heater on stable and level surface if heater is hot or running.

• Keep children and animals away from heater.

• Turn off propane supply and unplug heater when not in use.

• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front) of heater.

• Never move, handle, or service a hot, operating, or plugged-in heater.

• Do not alter heater. Do not use heater if altered. Keep heater in its original state.

• Never attach duct work to front or rear of heater.

• Use only original replacement parts. This heater must use design-specific

parts. Do not substitute or use generic parts. Improper replacement parts could

cause serious or fatal injuries.

(Back)

The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas

supply. This provides fuel to the heater.

The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around

the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.

The Ignition System: The piezo ignitor lights the burner.

The Automatic Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down

if the ﬂame goes out.

SUPPLY

Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be furnished by the user.

Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. The amount

of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors decide this

amount:

1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)

2. The temperature of tank(s)

This heater is designed to operate with a minimum 9-kg (20-pound) propane tank.

You may need two or more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Use a 45-kg

(100-pound) tank for longer operation or in very cold weather. Less gas is vapor-

ized at lower temperatures. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the

proper supply system.

INSTALLATION

Figure 4 - Hose and Inlet Connector

1. Provide propane supply system (see Propane Supply, page 5).

2. Connect POL ﬁtting on hose/regulator assembly to propane tank(s). Turn POL

ﬁtting counterclockwise into threads on tank. Tighten ﬁrmly using a wrench.

IMPORTANT:

Position regulator so that hose leaving the regulator is in a

horizontal position (see Figure 3). This places the regulator vent in the proper

position to protect it from the weather.

VENTILATION

OPERATION

To Start Heater

1. Follow all installation, ventilation, and safety information.

2. Locate heater on stable and level surface. Make sure strong drafts do not blow

into front or rear of heater.

3. Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded extension cord.

Extension cord must be at least two meters (six feet) long, CSA listed, and of

a proper size.

4. Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, 3-hole, grounded outlet. Depress

start switch for three seconds to start motor and fan. This will force air out

front of heater.

Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements

Up to 15 meters (50 feet) long, use 18 AWG rated cord.

15.5 to 30.5 meters (51 to 100 feet) long, use 16 AWG rated cord.

31 to 61 meters (101 to 200 feet) long, use 14 AWG rated cord.
