Symptom

Problem

Solution

Heater shuts down while

running.

Heater producing odor.

Propane / L.P. supply may be

inadequate.

High surrounding air temperature

causing thermal limit device to shut

down heater.

Restricted air flow.

Damaged fan.

Excessive dust or debris in

surrounding area.

Gas leak

Heater operating on a 20 lb.

Propane / L.P. cylinder. Insufficient

Propane / L.P. gas will be supplied

by a 20 lb. cylinder resulting in odor

Propane / L.P. supply tank is "freez-

ing up". Evaporation and consump-

tion rate of propane from supply

tank is to great for the size of the

tank and air temperature

a. Refill tank

b. Provide additional and/or larger

tanks. See "Preparation: Propane

Supply".

This can happen when running heater

in temperatures above 85° F (30° C).

Run heater in cooler temperatures.

Check heater inlet and outlet. Re-

move any obstructions.

Replace fan. See "Maintenance:

Fan".

Clean heater. See "Maintenance".

Check all connections for leaks. Apply

mixture of liquid soap and water to

gas joints. Bubbles forming show a

leak that must be corrected

To obtain correct mixture of Propane /

L.P. gas and air, use a larger cylinder

size, i.e. 40 lb. (minimum) or 100 lb.

See "Preparation: Propane

Supply".

a. Use a larger supply cylinder size,

i.e. 40 lb. (minimum) or 100 lb.
b. Reduce consumption rate by

operating the heater at LOW

setting temporarily until frost

disappears from the tank

WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE. NEVER SERVICE SPACE HEATER WHILE IT IS PLUGGED IN,

OPERATING, OR HOT. SEVERE BURNS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN OCCUR.

WARNING: Use only in areas free

of high dust content.
