Before Turning Gas Supply ON:
1. Your heater was designed and approved for OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT use it inside a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area.
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or
liquids.
3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no
leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. 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. If
re-lighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected areas should be leak
tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose assembly
specified by the manufacturer.

several times until the pilot flame ignites. Keep the Control Knob fully
pushed in for an additional 30 seconds after the burner ignites, then
release the Control Knob.
Note: If the pilot flame does not light or if it goes out, repeat Step 3-4 above.
5. To increase the flame, turn the Control Knob towards "HI" and to decrease
the flame, turn the Control Knob towards "LO."
