Owner's Manual

START
1. Fully open the valve on the propane cylinder.
2. Depress the red button on the safety valve admitting gas
to the heater. Place a lighted match near the face of the
ceramic element using the hole located on the side of the
reflector. If the hose is filled with air, allow a few seconds
for gas to reach element. DO NOT LIGHT AT THE
ORIFICE.
3. 24-IRP: Depress the red button on the safety valve
admitting gas to the heater. Push and release the
piezo ignition button until the gas on the surface of the grid
ignites. this may take several strikes of the piezo.
Ignition may be observed using the holes located on the
sides of the reflector. DO NOT LOOK OVER TOP OF
REFLECTOR! If the hose is filled with air allow a few
seconds for the gas to reach the grids.
4. When the gas on the face of the ceramic element lights,
continue to hold the button depressed for 30 seconds,
then release. On multiple head units, check to see that
all elements are burning.
5. If the flame goes out, wait 5 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure.
STOP
1. Securely close valve at propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to relight for 5 minutes.
RESTART AFTER SAFETY SHUTDOWN
1. Securely close valve at propane cylinder.
2. Wait 5 minutes.
3. Restart following "Start" procedure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING; FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS,
PAPER OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS NEVER USE THE
HEATER IN SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNER, DUST PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS.

WARNING: DO NOT LOOK OVER TOP OF
HEATER (REFLECTOR) DURING IGNITION.
This heater may produce a small puff of flame
during ignition, which could result in serious
bodily injury.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1. Inspect the heater for possible shipping damage. If any
is found, immediately notify the dealer.
2. Follow all of the “Safety Precautions” and “Operating
Information" on page 1, and “Propane Fuel Informa-
tion” on page 4.
3. Refer to the exploded view on page 3 for general
assembly layout. Regulator: Heater is to be hooked up
to the regulator (set at 28” water column) supplied with
the heater.
4. HEATER ASSEMBLY:
a) Lay the heater reflector down down on a flat level
surface (the manifold mounting lug will be up).
b) Attach the manifold to the burner/reflector assem-
bly as shown in the exploded view.
c) Be sure that the neck(s) of the manifold are
pushed all of the way into the one (1) inch tube(s)
of the burner assembly(s).
d) Position and tighten the adapter clamp(s).
e) The manifold mounting lug (the rectangular piece
of 1/8” thick steel that is welded to the manifold)
must face the direction shown in the exploded
view.
f) Attach the loose thermocouple end to the connec-
tion at the thermoelectric valve.
g) Tighten the connection finger tight, then tighten an
additional maximum ¼ turn using a 3/8” open end
wrench.
5. If you have the 24,000 BTU w/Piezo (all others go to
step7):
a) Place the piezo mounting bracket with the attach
ment surface on the left side of the manifold
mounting lug, the piezo bracket will cross over the
lug.
b) Lineup the mounting holes on the piezo bracket
and the lug, then securely attach the piezo bracket
to the lug with the two 10-24x3/8 machine screws
and hex nuts provided.
c) Insert the loose end of the electrode wire onto the
terminal on the piezo igniter.
6. HEATER MOUNTING (for Quad Heater go to step 7):
a) Assemble the flattened end of the heater support
to the manifold mounting lug with a lock bolt (3/8-
16 x 1 ¼ bolt).
b) Place the 3/8-16 whiz nut onto the remaining 3/8-
16 x 1 ¼ bolt, with the nut serrations away from the
bolt head.
c) Attach the lock bolt assembly into the remaining
base support weld nut, making sure that the nut
serrations face the base support.
d) Mount the heater onto a standard 20 or 40 #
propane cylinder by placing the slot in the heater
support over the propane cylinder flange. Tighten
the lock bolt assembly, then secure with the nut.
7. QUAD-HEAD HEATER MOUNTING
a) Mount the quad-head heater onto a 100# cylinder
by placing the collar assembly over the threaded
neck (for cylinder valve cover) and tighten the wing
nut.
b) Place the slot in the heater support over the propane
cylinder flange.
c) Tighten the lock bolt assembly, then secure with the
nut.
8. Check the ‘O’ ring on the POL before each use (see page
4). Replace the ‘O’ ring if there is any sign of ware or
damage.
9. After the heater is securely attached to the propane
cylinder connect the POL fitting of the hose and regulator
assembly to the propane cylinder by rotating the POL nut
counterclockwise into the propane cylinder’s valve out-
let. Securely tighten with a wrench.
10. Securely tighten all gas connections.
11. Open the cylinder’s gas valve and check all gas connec-
tions with a soap and water solution. DO NOT USE A
FLAME.
