GAS LEAKS
If a gas leak is suspected…Inform everyone in the area, asking
them to extinguish or turn off everything that may ignite the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, THEY MAY
GENERATE SPARKS.
If safe to do so, open any doors or windows, close cylinder valves
and take cylinders into the open. If a large amount of gas has
escaped, evacuate the area and call the Fire Brigade, informing
them that gas cylinders are involved and how many there are.

HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS
The use and storage of LPG cylinders is governed by specic
regulations/legislation. Make sure you know and understand the
regulations that apply and follow them. If in any doubt, contact
Event Hire for advice.
GAS SAFETY
Read the “LPG Safe Use & Set Up” instructions.
Propane is highly ammable and heavier than air, this increases
the risk of explosion. Keep gas cylinders upright at all times, do not
drop or knock them. Damaged cylinders can be dangerous. Store
gas cylinders in the open air, in a secure, cool area; away from heat,
possible ignition source and clear of drains or depressions where
leaked gas may collect.
Do not smoke or permit naked ames in the area when changing
gas cylinders. Handle gas cylinders and connectors with care.
Carefully check the connections for leaks (the use of a proprietary
leak detector is recommended).
NEVER test for leaks with a naked ame.

OPERATING GUIDE
• For outdoor use only.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes of the cylinder housing.
• Do not attempt to move the heater when it is lit or attached to
the cylinder.
Position the heater with care, on a rm, level surface. The heater
must be absolutely upright to reduce any risk of it falling over.
There must be a minimum clearance of 1 metre around the heater
to minimise the risk of heat damage.
You can now t the regulator to the cylinder.
Make sure the black tap on the regulator is in the “off” position
(down) and t the regulator by rmly pressing down onto the
cylinder’s valve until you feel it lock into place.
Check for leaks (see GAS SAFETY)
Turning on the Heater:

black tap on the regulator “up”.
Press and turn the variable control knob to the PILOT position
(counter clockwise 90°).
Press down the variable control knob and hold for 30 seconds.
While holding down the variable control knob, press the igniter
button several times until the pilot ame lights. Release the
variable control knob after the pilot ame lights.

If a new cylinder has been connected it may take slightly longer for
the gas to reach the pilot hole.
The pilot ame can be viewed and checked from the small round
window with sliding lid, located at the bottom of the ame screen.
If the pilot ame does not light or goes out, wait 3 minutes and
