ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY LP13.V4

ASSEMBLY

Fit the mounting bracket to the heater assembly using the wing nut, hinge screw and washer. The bracket should be mounted on the right hand side of the mounting flange as the heater faces you. Ensure that the side of the clamping channel with two bolts is facing forwards,
Fit the channel section of the support bracket over the shroud of the propane bottle and clamp it in place using the three screws. Be sure to fit the channel with the two screws on the outside of the shroud and one, on the inside, as shown below.
Fit the regulator to the bottle by screwing the POL nut anticlockwise into the port of the gas bottle valve. Tighten nut with a spanner. This must be undertaken in a flame free atmosphere.
Attach one end of the gas hose to the barbed male connector on the regulator and hose clip. Attach the other end of the gas hose to the barbed male connector of the heater valve inlet and hose clip. A small amount of washing up liquid would assist fitting the hose. Ensure the hose is routed so that it does not touch any part of the heater, which will become hot during operation.
Open the bottle valve and, using soapy water, check all joints for leaks.
