PROPANE TANK TOP HEATER
PROPANE TANK TOP CONSTRUCTION HEATERS
The heater is designed and approved for use as a construction heater under ANSI Z83.7 CSA 2.14.
It is hard to anticipate every use which may be made of this heater. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLICATIONS.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products in specific applications.
Your local authority can advise you about these.

IMPORTANT: READ THIS USER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE TRYING TO OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS HEATER. IMPROPER USE OF THIS HEATER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM FIRE, EXPLOSION AND CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
This is a direct-fired tank top construction heater for either indoor construction or outdoor use. Its intended use is primarily the temporary heating of buildings or structures under construction, alteration or repair. All the products of combustion generated by the heater are forced through the heater and released into the area being heated. This heater operates at approximately 98%+ combustion efficiency but still produces a small amount of carbon monoxide. Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide for short periods. Carbon monoxide can build up in a heated space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in poisoning or death.

TT30 SERIES HEATER ASSEMBLY

Tools Required:
Phillips head screwdriver

Estimated Assembly Time:
5 minutes

Contents:

• Tank Top Heater (1)
• Tank Collar Bracket (1)
• M4x12 Machine Screws (2)

DUAL BURNER MODEL

The tank collar bracket must be assembled before the heaters can be attached to the propane tank.

1. Align bolt holes in tank collar bracket and piezo bracket with bolt holes in center plate on manifold.
2. Drive-in two machine screws (supplied) into the bolt holes attaching tank collar bracket to center plate on manifold. (Fig. 1)

PROPANE SUPPLY
This heater requires a 20 lb propane cylinder for operation. (Not included).

The propane (LP) gas tank must also be equipped with the following:

• A collar to protect the propane gas valve.

• A shutoff valve terminating a Propane gas cylinder valve outlet as specified in the American National
  Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections.

• A safety relief valve having direct communications with the vapor space of the tank.

• An arrangement of vapor withdrawal.
  The propane (LP) gas pressure regulator and hose assembly of 30K BTU models supplied with the heater must be used without alteration.
  The hose assembly shall be visually inspected prior to each use of the heater. If it is evident that there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater being put into operation.
  The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.

REFILLING THE PROPANE GAS TANK
ALL NEW CYLINDERS MUST BE PURGED BEFORE THE FIRST FILLING.

• Turn heater gas valve knob and gas tank valve to OFF position.
• Propane tank valve equipped with the old style fitting has LEFT HANDED THREADS. Turn POL fitting CLOCKWISE to loosen. Protect POL fitting when disconnected from tank.
• Have tank filled by your local Propane gas supplier.
• Some propane tanks have a bleed-off valve. This valve should be inspected for leaks after each filling of the tank. Turn clockwise to close the valve.
• Fasten full Propane tank and connect POL fitting to tank valve by turning COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
• With heater gas valve knob still in the OFF position, turn ON tank valve and check for leaks with soap solution.

Propane is safe to use when properly handled. Careless handling of the Propane gas tank could result in fire and/or an explosion. Therefore:

• Always keep tank/cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Avoid tipping tank on its side when connected to a regulator since this may cause damage to diaphragm in regulator.
• Handle valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated Propane tank to construction heater.
• Do not subject Propane tank to excessive heat.
• Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the Propane tank after each use.
• The POL fitting must be protected when disconnected from the propane tank.
• Never store a Propane gas tank inside a building or in the vicinity of any gas burning appliance.

THE DISCONNECTED TANK MUST NEVER BE STORED IN A BUILDING,GARAGE OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA.

CONNECTING HEATER TO PROPANE TANK
