WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this Owner’s Manual carefully and completely

before trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper

use of this heater can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire,

explosion, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNING ICON G 001

DANGER

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resembletheflu,withheadaches,dizziness, ornausea.If youhavethese signs,the

heatermay not beworking properly.Getfreshairat once!Haveheater serviced.

Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include

pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the

influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Natural Gas: Natural gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to natural

gas. The odor helps you detect a natural gas leak. However, the odor added to

natural gas can fade. Natural gas may be present even though no odor exits.

Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for

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

For convenience and efficiency, install heater

•where there is easy access for operation, inspection, and service

•where strong wind gusts from an open door or garage door can not blow

directly into heater.

An optional fan kit is available from your dealer. See ACCESSORIES, page 23. If

planning to use fan, locate heater near an electrical outlet.

Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket To Wall

Only use last hole on each end of mounting bracket to attach bracket to wall. These

two holes are 16 inches apart from their centers. Attach mounting bracket to wall in

one of two ways.

1. Attaching to wall stud

2. Attaching to wall anchor

Attaching to wall stud This method provides the strongest hold. Insert mounting

screws through mounting bracket and into wall studs.

Attaching to wall anchor This method allows you to attach mounting bracket to

hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls (concrete or masonry).

Decide which method better suits your needs. Either method will provide a secure

hold for the mounting bracket.

INSTALLING HEATER TO WALL

Mounting Bracket

The mounting bracket is located on back panel of heater. It has been taped there for

shipping. Remove mounting bracket from back panel.

2. Place mounting bracket onto wall. Line up last hole on each end of bracket with

holes drilled in wall.

3. Insert mounting screws through bracket and into wall studs.

4. Tighten screws until mounting bracket is firmly fastened to wall studs.

Attaching to wall anchor method

For attaching mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or solid

walls (concrete or masonry)

1. Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16" drill bit. For solid walls (concrete or

masonry), drill at least 1" deep.

2. Fold wall anchor as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 5 - Mounting Bracket Clearances

2. Mark screw locations on wall (see Figure 5).

Note:

Only mark last hole on each end of mounting bracket. Insert mounting

screws through these holes only.

3. Remove tape and mounting bracket from wall.

WARNING ICON G001

WARNING

Maintain minimum clearances shown in Figure 5. If you can,

provide greater clearances from floor and joining wall.

3. Insert wall anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap anchor flush to wall.

Installing Bottom Mounting Screws

1. Locate two bottom mounting holes. These holes are near bottom on back panel

of heater (see Figure 9).

2. Mark screw locations on wall.

3. Remove heater from mounting bracket.

4. If installing bottom mounting screws into hollow or solid wall, install wall

anchors. Follow steps 1 thru 4 under Attaching To Wall Anchor Method, page 8.

If installing bottom mounting screw into wall stud, drill holes at marked loca-

tions using 9/64" drill bit.

5. Replace heater onto mounting bracket.

6. Place spacers between bottom mounting holes and wall anchor or drilled hole.

7. Hold spacer in place with one hand. With other hand, insert mounting screw

through bottom mounting hole and spacer. Place tip of screw in opening of wall

anchor or drilled hole.

8. Tighten both screws until heater is firmly secured to wall. Do not over tighten.

Note:

Do not replace front panel at this time. Replace front panel after making

gas connections and checking for leaks (see pages 10-12).

CONNECTING

TO GAS

SUPPLY

NOTICE

A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply.

Follow all local codes.

WARNING ICON G 001

WARNING

Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is

commonly known as well-head gas.

IMPORTANT:

Check gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas

line pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is

higher, heater regulator damage could occur.

Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.

Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream

from heater (see Figure 10, page 11).

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant

from going into pipe. Excess sealant in the pipe could result in clogged heater

valves.

CAUTION

Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

WARNING ICON G 001

CAUTION

Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Copper tubing may be used

in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter

or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small,

undue loss of pressure will occur.

WARNING ICON G001

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 10. Locate sediment trap

where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is

not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps

them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed

wrong, heater may not run properly.
