Propane tank top construction heaters
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLICATIONS. Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing prod-ucts 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.

Important safety information

• Children should be carefully supervised, when they are in the area.

• Always maintain proper clearance from combustible materials. Minimum clearance from combustibles. Side & Rear: 36” (91cm); Top: 36” (91cm); Front: 60” (152cm); Floor: 0” when installed on 20lb cylinder.
  Note: Not for use on finished floor.

• Heater must be placed on level and stable surface.

• Never place anything including clothes or other flammable items on the heater.

• The appliance area shall be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

• Do not modify or operate a heater which has been modified.

• Adequate clearance for accessibility and for combustion & ventilation air supply must be maintained at all times when the heater is operating.

• Service and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before each use and at least annually by a qualified person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. Do not service while hot or operating.

• Never connect heater to an unregulated gas supply.

• The heater is shipped from the factory for LP (Propane) gas. This heater is for use with propane gas only, do not convert heater to any other gas. Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1.

• The minimum and maximum inlet pressures to the regulator from the gas tank are 17.5 psi and bottle pressure, respectively. Use only the regulator & hose assembly provided with the heater. Inspect the regulator/hose assembly prior to each use of the heater. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or hose is cut, replace with regulator/hose assembly listed on the parts list prior to using this heater.

• Gas supply connections should be checked using a 50/50 solution of liquid dish soap and never use a flame to check for gas leaks.

• Do not restrict inlet or outlet by any means. The flow of combustion and ventilation air is not to be obstructed.

• This heater should not be directed toward any propane-gas container within 20 ft (6M). The heater must be located at least 6 ft. (1.83 m) in the U.S.; or (ii) 10 ft. (3 m) in Canada, from any other propane gas container.

Wiring Diagram

Propane Safety

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 inthe 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

Read and understand all safety information before connecting heater to propane tank.

1. (Applies to dual burner models only). Place heater onto tank with tank collar bracket over tank collar (Fig.1). Mounting bolt knob should be positioned to the outside of tank collar and be positioned as closely as possible directly opposite to the cylinder valve outlet. See Fig.1 and 2.

2. (Applies to dual burner models only). Firmly secure to tank by hand-tightening mountingbolt knob. Do not overtighten mounting bolt knob.

3. Make sure heater regulator knob is in the OFF position.

4. Insert regulator’s connector into tank’s valve outlet fitting and turn left (counterclock-wise) until fully tightened. Threads are left-handed (Fig.3).
   NOTE: Heater features a hand wheel that can be used to tighten the fitting to the cylinder. No wrench required.
   NOTE: The vertical stem of this heater must be installed in the vertical position. This heater is equipped with a safety shutoff switch in the event that the heater is tipped over during operation.
   The heater may fail to remain lit if the vertical stem is not installed vertically.

5. For single burner models loosen the wing bolt securing the support leg and position it firmly on the surface of the cylinder. Tighten wing bolt firmly.

6. Open propane tank valve slowly by turning counterclockwise .

7. Check all fittings for leaks. Apply a 50/50 mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
   WARNING: NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

8. Always remove propane tank from heater after each use. Do not store heater while attached to propane tank.

Checking For Leaks

Check all gas connections with a 50/50 soap and water solution to be sure they are tight and leak proof. The formation of bubbles indicate a gas leak. Correct all leaks before using the heater.

• The installation of your heater must meet all local codes and/or gas utility requirements or, in the absence of local codes, with the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
