20. This heater is designed to heat larger areas such as workshops. DO NOT use

the heater for any other function. It is not suitable for drying clothes or

laundry.

21. Young children must be kept away unless continuously supervised.

FRESH AIR REQUIREMENTS

• DO NOT use in unventilated areas.

• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

RISKS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion

efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) is toxic.

• Pregnant women, persons with a heart or lung condition, anaemia

or under the influence of alcohol, or those at high altitude, are more

likely to be effected by Carbon Monoxide.

• CO can build up in a confined space and failure to provide

adequate ventilation can be fatal.

The early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:

•headaches

•dizziness

• nausea

• dry mouth or sore throat

• blurred vision

• shortness of breath

• confusion

• loss of consciousness

Should anyone show these symptoms they must GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.

Turn off the heater and have it serviced before using it again.

Be sure to follow all warnings in this manual.

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR

WARNING: IF FRESH OUTSIDE AIR VENTILATION IS NOT PROVIDED,

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN OCCUR.

IF YOU SMELL GAS

Liquid Propane gas has a man-made odourant added specifically for

detection of gas leaks.

If a leak occurs you should be able to smell the gas. Since Propane (LP) is

heavier than air you should smell for the gas odour near to the floor. ANY GAS

ODOUR requires immediate attention.

1. DO NOTHING that could ignite the gas. DO NOT operate any electrical

switches. DO NOT unplug any power supply or extension cables. DO NOT

light matches or use any other source of ignition.

2. Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately.

3. Close all propane (LP) gas bottle fuel supply valves.

4. Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas. When you

have reason to suspect a propane leak, keep out of all low areas.

5. Call the fire brigade. DO NOT re-enter the building or area.

6. Stay out of the building until declared safe by the firefighters.

7. FINALLY let the firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them ventilate the

building before you return. Properly trained service people must repair any

leaks, check for further leakages and then re-light the heater for you.

8. IF YOU SMELL EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS, CONTACT THE FIRE

BRIGADE. DO NOT WAIT!

NO ODOUR DETECTED

1. Some people cannot smell the odour added to propane (LP). You must

determine if you can smell the odourant in this fuel.

2. Learn to recognize the odour of propane (LP) gas. Local propane (LP) gas

dealers will to give you a “scratch and sniff” pamphlet. Use it to become

familiar with the fuel gas odour.

3. Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odour for a

period of time can affect your sensitivity to that particular odour. Odours

present in animal confinement buildings can mask fuel gas odour.

ODOUR FADING

1. The odourant in propane (LP) gas is colourless and the intensity of its odour

can fade under some circumstances.

2. Propane (LP) gas odour may differ in intensity at different levels. Since LPG

is heavier than air, there may be more odour at lower levels.

3. ALWAYS be sensitive to the slightest gas odour. If you continue to detect

any gas odour, no matter how small, treat it as a serious leak.

CRITICAL POINTS TO REMEMBER!

1. Propane (LPG) gas has a distinctive odour. Learn to recognize the odour.

2. A periodic sniff test around the joints; i.e. hose, connections. etc, is a good

safety practice under any conditions.

FEATURES OF THE GSH15 HEATER

Understanding the basic operation of the heater will reinforce the need to

maintain it in top condition at all times whilst always observing the safety

precautions.

The heater comprises of three basic systems:

1. The gas system.

2. The ignition system.

3. The safety control system.

GAS SYSTEM

The gas supply to the heater is by means of a high pressure hose, connected

to a LPG cylinder via a pressure regulator. When the gas shut off valve is

opened, gas will flow to the control valve and finally into the burner.

This heater is designed for use with PROPANE GAS ONLY. Gas bottles are readily

available from builders merchants or gas suppliers etc.

This heater is designed to operate with a 5-13 kg propane bottle. Note that less

gas is vaporised at lower temperatures. Your local propane gas dealer will

help you select the proper gas supplies.

IGNITION SYSTEM

A Piezo-electric igniter is positioned at the burner head. When the igniter

button is depressed a high intensity spark is generated which ignites the gas.

Heat from the flame is sensed by a thermocouple connected to the control

valve. As the thermocouple heats up, the control valve opens so that after a

short period, the control valve button (see Operation page 11) may be

released and the gas flame is established.

SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM

Should the flame extinguish for any reason the thermocouple will quickly cool,

causing the control valve to close, shutting off the gas supply.

ASSEMBLY

UNPACKING

Remove the heater from the carton and remove all protective material used

for shipment. Check the heater for possible shipping damage. Should any

damage be apparent, please notify your CLARKE dealer immediately.

ASSEMBLING THE SUPPORT STAND

1. Fit the mounting bracket onto the collar of

the gas cylinder and tighten the mounting

screw so that so that it engages with the

collar of the gas cylinder.

2. Attach the heater to the mounting

bracket using the bolt, washers and

wingnut supplied.

LOCATING THE HEATER

The heater and gas cylinder must be located

on a hard, level surface to minimize the risk of

accidental tipping. The gas cylinder should

be adequately restrained if needed. Only

operate this heater with the cylinder in the

upright position.

This heater must only be used in locations

where the potential for damage to the heater or personal injury (burns), is

reduced to a minimum.

It must be located where it will not be exposed directly to rain and/or dripping

water.

Use of this heater in a drafty area reduces its efficiency. Wherever possible,

operate in a draft free area.

Position the heater at a safe distance of 1.5 metre from combustible materials.

The heater must not be used on floors covered in combustible materials.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

GAS CONNECTION

The hose for connecting the heater to the gas bottle is supplied loose and

must be fitted by the user.

Make the connection to the gas cylinder in a well ventilated area using the

regulator and hose assembly supplied. The gas hose and cylinder must

ALWAYS be positioned behind the heater.

1. Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder ensuring the cylinder connection is

perfectly clean. Blow out with compressed air if necessary to blast away

any dust or dirt. (Use eye protection when working with compressed air).

2. Remove the protective plug by

unscrewing clockwise.

3. Check the bullnose connection on

the regulator for any visible

damage before connecting to the

cylinder.

WARNING: GAS CYLINDERS MUST BE USED AND STORED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE ‘HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AND LIQUEFIED

PETROLEUM GASES REGULATIONS 1972.

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A

FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE,

PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

4. Place the regulator on the cylinder

connection and hand tighten by

turning anti-clockwise.

5. Tighten firmly using a gas spanner

(or an adjustable spanner),

continuing in an anti-clockwise

direction.

6. Simply turn the valve hand wheel on the cylinder anti-clockwise when you

need to start the flow of gas. Ensure that you turn the cylinder off when not

in use.

7. In order to reduce the risk of icing up when operating for long periods at

maximum capacity, you should use a larger capacity gas bottle.

8. Open the cylinder gas valve and check all gas connections with a soap

and water solution. To check for leaks using soapy water or liquid soap

ONLY. NEVER USE A FLAME.

9. Use a full cylinder wherever possible with good air circulation and no frost

on the cylinders.
