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 blue.
* 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 shutdowns of
the heater.
The parts list shows 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. Do not use alternates. For this heater, the regulator
must be set to supply 11" W.C. pressure. 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. Contact the
factory for the service center closest to you, phone number
