ATTENTION
This procedure is to be done once a year prior to the heating
season, anytime the heater is moved from one job location
to the next, or after servicing the heater.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
(To be secured through local purchase)
Quantity Description
1 High Pressure Gas Gauge capable of
reading up to 35 PSIG
1 1/4 in. Tee
1 1/4 in. Nipple
A. PREPARATION
1. Close fuel supply valve at gas supply container.
2. Allow heater to burn off gas remaining in it’s gas
supply line.
3. Close manual main burner valve on heater and
remove gas hose from heater.
4. Remove hose adapter from inlet of pilot safety control
valve.
B. GAUGE INSTALLATION
1. Connect the following materials together in the order
as given and tighten securely. See Fig. 7
-- Tee to inlet of pilot safety control.
-- Nipple to tee.
-- Hose adapter (as removed earlier) to nipple.
-- Gas hose to hose adapter.

C. READING PRESSURES
1. Start the heater. With the heater operating, the
pressure gauge should read the pressure specified
on the dataplate or in the specification section of this
owner’s manual.
2. Does the pressure reading at the inlet of the safety
control agree with that given on the dataplate? If so,
no further checking or adjustment is required.
Proceed to section D.
3. If the inlet pressures do not agree with that specified
on the dataplate, then check the following:
-- Improper regulator for heater.
-- Regulator out of adjustment. (Replace if
necessary).
-- Blockage in gas hose.
-- Insufficient size or quantity of propane gas supply
containers.
D. COMPLETION
1. Once the proper inlet pressure has been confirmed,
close fuel supply valves.
2. Allow heater to burn off fuel remaining in gas supply
line.
3. Remove gauge, hose adapter, nipple and tee.
4. Reconnect hose adapter to inlet of safety control
valve and hose to hose adapter.
5. Tighten all connections securely and check for gas
leaks.
