SERVICING
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has
been modified or is not functioning properly. When the heater
is working properly:
* The flame is contained within the heater.
* The flame is essentially yellow with some blue at the base of
the fame adjacent to the burner.
* There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or other
physical discomfort.
* There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
* There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs of the
heater.
The parts lists and exploded view show the heater as it was
constructed. Do not use a heater which is different from
that shown. In this regard, use only the hose, regulator and
cylinder connection fitting (called a POL fitting) supplied with
the heater. IMPORTANT Match the color stripe on the hang
tag attached to the hose assembly with the color on the label
located near the propane inlet fitting on the heater. Do not use
alternates. For this heater, the regulator must be set as shown
in "specifications". If there is any uncertainty about the regulator
setting, have it checked.
A heater which is not working right must be repaired, but only
by a trained, experienced service person.
In-warranty products will be repaired with no charge for either
parts or labor. Please include a brief statement indicating date,
place of purchase, the nature of the problem and proof of
purchase.
Out-of-warranty products will be repaired with a charge for
parts and labor.

otherwise damaged, replace it with part number F273786.
3. Turn off the gas at the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) when the
heater is not in use.
4. When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection
between the LP-gas supply cylinder(s) and the heater
must be disconnected and the cylinder(s) removed from
the heater and stored out of doors and in accordance
with Chapter 5 of the standard for Storage and Handling
of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA
B149.1,Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
