TROUBLE SHOOTING
COMMERCIAL OUTDOOR HEATER
PROBLEM 1
Burner won’t remain lit.
CAUSE A
Possible Leak
SOLUTION
Check all connections
1. Use liquid soap to find leaks. Pour over
connection between hose and regulator and
regulator to tank. If soap bubbles, leaks are present.
* With all Propane tanks in the US, if a leak is
present the tank will automatically shut-down.
2. Use teflon tape on all connections.
3. Tighten all connections.
4. Check for leaks again. NEVER USE AN OPEN
FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
4 Re-light heater to test.
CAUSE B
Thermocouple may be too tight on valve.
* If thermocouple is too tight on valve, it will limit the
amount of millivolt electricity, which keeps the valve
flowing gas.
SOLUTION
Loosen Thermocouple
1.Remove cover opposite side the control knob with
phillips screwdriver.
2. With a wrench, loosen thermocouple connection
to valve (Copper lead with 1/4” flare fitting)
3. Hand tighten and slightly tighten with wrench. Do
NOT torque or over tighten.
4. Re-light heater to test.
CAUSE C
Tilt mechanism disconnected
*Your Heater has several safety features that
are connected via wires to the thermocouple.
Sometimes during movement or shipping, these may
become disconnected.
SOLUTION
Check inside of burner neck that all wires are
connected.
