■
Do not lift the heater from its shipping container by using
the cleanout as a handle.
■
Doing so may cause physical damage to the cleanout.
■
Lift the heater by its shroud or venturi tube.
1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. White
recommendations when installing this heater. If
during the installation or relocating of the heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement.
2. On initial installation and before use, position the
brooder properly regarding clearance to combustible
materials and ground clearance to protect the
brooder from livestock. Refer to the specification
table on page 4 as well as Fig. 2 for installation
information for proper hanging and clearances.
3. Position the gas hose outside of the hot zone directly
above the heater to avoid any contact with the hot
canopy surface of the heater. Refer to Fig. 2.
4. Insure that all accessories that ship with heater have
been removed from inside of heater’s shipping
container and installed. This pertains to gas hose,
regulators, etc.
5. The heater’s gas regulator (with pressure relief valve)

regulators inside the buildings must be properly
vented to the outside. Local, state and national codes
always apply to regulator installation. Natural gas
regulators with a vent limiting device may be mounted
indoors without venting to outdoors.
6. Any regulator mounted outside the building must be
protected against the weather, par ticularly ice
fo r m a t i o n . I c e fo r m a t i o n c a n l e a d to
overpressurization of the regulator and subsequent
gas leaks. See codes covering proper protection.
7. Always use pipe joint compound that is resistant to
liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas.
8. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved
gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as
follows:
-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,
fittings and adapters upstream of the gas
control with approved gas leak detectors.
-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the
components involved for cleanliness and
proper application of pipe compound before
further tightening.
-- Furthermore tighten the gas connections as
necessary to stop the leak.
-- After all connections are checked and any
leaks are stopped, turn on the main burner.
-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to
prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that
could cause flashback.
-- With the main burner in operation, check all
connections, hose connections, fittings and
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■
Do not use open flame (matches, torches, candles,
etc.) in checking for gas leaks.
■
Use only approved leak detectors.
■
Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires or
explosions.
■
Fires or explosions can lead to property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.

repopulation. Such inspection should consist of, but
is not limited to, the following points of action:
-- Insure proper clearance of heater to nearest
combustible materials.
-- Check for general cleanliness. Clean if necessary.
-- Check for tightness of the gas hose connections.
14. A qualified service person shall inspect the heater
and its gas train on at least an annual basis. This
should consist of, but is not limited to, the following
points of action:
-- Start-up and shut down of the heaters and zone
control panel to test for proper operation.
-- Leak check of all pipe joints and hose connections.
-- Thorough cleaning of the exterior of the heater, its

applicable).
-- Thorough inspection of the heater’s component
parts for corrosion, stripped threads, etc. with
subsequent parts replacement as necessary.
-- Gas pressure checks.
15. Turn off the gas supply when the heater is not in use.
