UNPACKING The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas supply. The propane gas moves through the thermoelectric valve and out the nozzle. The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air. The Ignition System: The piezo spark ignitor (Model 5070A) or Electronic Module (Model 5075A) sends voltage to the electrode. The spark at the electrode ignites the fuel air mixture.
PROPANE SUPPLY Continued The chart below shows the minimum number of 20-pound or larger tanks needed to run these heaters at the temperature indicated for at least 10 hours. Do not operate them with tanks smaller than indicated. Reduced performance will result. NUMBER OF TANKS REQUIRED Average Temperature (°F) At Tank Location 5070A751 (40,000 BTU/Hr.) 5075A751 (80,000 BTU/Hr.
PREPARATION Continued ENGLISH 3. Connect POL fitting on hose/regulator assembly to propane tank(s). Turn POL fitting counterclockwise into threads on tank. Tighten firmly. IMPORTANT: Tighten regulator with vent pointing down. Pointing vent down protects regulator from weather damage. Regulator With Vent Pointing Down 4. Open valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. If this happens, close propane valve and open again slowly.
OPERATION Continued 4. Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long. Extension cord must be UL listed. Extension Cord Size Requirement Up to 50 feet (15 m) long, use 18 AWG rated cord. 51 to 100 feet (30 m) long, use 16 AWG rated cord. 101 to 200 (61 m) feet long, use 14 AWG rated cord. 5. Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, three-hole, grounded outlet. The motor will start, turning the fan forcing air through the heater. 6.
To Stop Heater OPERATION Continued ENGLISH 1. Tightly close valve on propane tank(s). 2. Wait a few seconds. Heater will burn gas left in hose. 3. Unplug heater. WARNING STORAGE Disconnect heater from propane supply tank(s) before storage. 1. Store propane tank(s) in safe manner. See Chapter 5 of Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58. Follow all local codes. 2.
MAINTENANCE Continued 6. FAN - Clean every 500 hours of operation or as needed. A. Remove screws along each side of heater and on top of the motor guard using a Phillips screwdriver. These screws attach top and lower shells together. B. Lift top shell off. C. Lift out motor/guard assembly. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the motor/guard assembly to rest on the fan or damage may be caused to the blades. D. Clean fan using soft cloth moistened with kerosene or solvent. Dry fan thoroughly.
Never attempt to service heater while it is plugged in, connected to propane supply, operating or hot. Severe burns and electrical shock can occur. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Fan does not turn when heater is plugged in. No electrical power to heater Check voltage to electrical outlet. If voltage is good, check heater power cord for breaks. Fan blades bent Replace fan. See Replacing Fan, Page 13. Defective motor Replace motor. See Replacing Motor, page 12.
