Step 5–Center Lockup
Slide the threaded portion of the large thumbscrew through the slot
in the center of the bracket mounted to the base.
Thread the bottom bracket on to the thumbscrew with the round flat
rubber pads facing up.
To mount the heater to a hole in your table, tilt the bottom
bracket/thumbscrew assembly until it fits through the hole.
Straighten the thumbscrew, and pull it up until the rubber pads
contact the underside of the table. Hand tighten only.
Note: If the hole in the surface you are mounting your heater to is less
than 1-1/2” in diameter, it will be necessary to center your heater over
the hole and slide the thumbscrew through the slot in the bracket and
the hole in the table. Attach the bottom bracket from underneath, and
tighten from the top with the thumbscrew.
Notice
Do not use tools to tighten the
thumbscrew. Hand tighten only. Do
not over tighten to prevent possible
damage to table surface.
Caution:
Before you attempt to use a propane
cylinder, understand all cylinder and
propane related precautions in Section
#1 – “Safety First.”

through small slot in base.
