Make sure that the package contains the following parts and hardware before you begin assembly:

Tools required for assembly (not included):
– Philips screwdriver
– Leak-test solution (see step 11 for more information)

Assembly Instructions

Step 1:
Remove the four large screws and large nuts that secure the base to the sandbox, then pry open the plastic cap on the top. Fill the sandbox with water or sand, then replace the plastic cap. Slide the base back on the sandbox, then reinsert the screws and secure by tightening the nuts on the bolts.

Step 2:
Align holes in the wheel assembly with the holes in the base, then insert two small bolts through the holes and hand tighten. Make sure that the wheel assembly is parallel to the base, then tighten the bolts with the wrench.

Step 3:
Align the holes in the bottom of the post support H and base, then secure with a small bolt (hand tighten). Repeat with the other two post supports, then tighten all bolts with the wrench.

Step 4:
Align the holes in the post F with the holes in the tops of the post supports. Insert a large bolt through each hole, then secure with a small flange nut. Tighten with the wrench after all bolts have been inserted.

Step 5:
Insert the Gas Cylinder Housing D onto the post and lower it until it rests on the base.

Step 6: Insert the reflector studs into the large flat washers, then push them into the holes on the top of the head assembly C. Step 7: Route the gas hose CO down through the post, then place the head assembly on the top of the post, making sure that the screw holes on the head assembly align with the holes in the top of the post (the control knob should be above the decal on the post). Insert the four small bolts and lock washers and tighten securely.

Step 8a: Slide two of the reflector panels together, then insert one small screw and loosely screw on a cap nut. Add the third and fourth reflector panels to the assembly. Step 8b: Slide the reflector center cap B onto the assembled reflector panels. Insert one small screw and loosely screw on a cap nut. Repeat with two more small screws and cap nuts to complete reflector assembly. Fully tighten all screws and cap nuts.
Assembly Tip: If the reflector sections aren’t aligning, loosen each screw before further assembly and retighten after the sections are aligned.

Step 9: While supporting the heater, tilt the head assembly and slide three large flat washers over the reflector studs. Place the reflector assembly onto the reflector studs, then slide three more large flat washers over the reflector studs and onto the reflector assembly. Secure with three wing nuts. Step 10: Lift the tank housing up and rest the proper LPG Gas Cylinder (sold separately) on the top of the assembled post supports. Move the LPG Gas Cylinder onto base of the heater. Secure the LPG Gas Cylinder by attaching the chain to the post supports. Lower the LPG Gas Cylinder housing.
CAUTION
The regulator and hose are supplied with this appliance and you must use the proper attachments as required by National Rules in force. The regulator must be 28-30/37/50 mbar. If other any other pieces or materials are required to ensure proper attachment, they must be in accordance with Standard EN 751 only. Make sure to perform a proper leak test each time you disconnect/re- connect the regulator and hose.
NOTICE
Only use the proper LPG Gas cylinder as approved by National Rules in force. Use this heater only with a LPG Gas Cylinder not to exceed 15 kg (maximum). A dented, rusted or damaged LPG Gas Cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your LPG Gas Cylinder supplier. Never use a LPG Gas Cylinder with a damaged valve connection. The LPG Gas Cylinder must be arranged to provide for vapor withdrawal from the operating cylinder. Never connect a LPG Gas Cylinder without a regulator to this appliance. Disconnect the LPG Gas Cylinder when the appliance is not in use.
Step 11: Perform a leak test. Gas connections on the appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. Possible mishandling of the appliance during the shipment might contribute to product integrity as a whole. A complete gas leakage test must be performed again at the installation site. Please follow the procedure below for leak test:

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be applied with spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
• Make sure the control knob is in the “OFF” position on the control panel.
• Turn on the gas supply and check for bubbles from the hoses and connections. Presence of bubbles means that a leak is present.
• If a leak is present, turn OFF the gas supply immediately, tighten any leaking fitting carefully, turn gas supply on again and re-check for leak.

Never leak test while smoking or near an open flame.
IF NO BUBBLES APPEAR AT ANY CONNECTION, THE CONNECTIONS ARE SECURE.
NOTICE
Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed,you must perform a complete leak test.
