ASSEMBLY

1. Locate the Tank Housing Assembly (1). Open the front panel and remove the cartons containing all parts
needed for assembly. Note: Each carton will be labeled.
2. Locate the Stability Ring (2) and attach it to the base with the 3 bolts and nuts provided in the bag with
the Stability Ring.
3. Locate the Wheels (A). Loosen and remove the nuts and bolts (4 on each wheel) pre-assembled on each
wheel. Locate the brackets on the rear bottom of the legs of the Tank Housing Assembly (Fig. A.) Align
wheels with the holes in the brackets (make sure the wheel sits flat on the ground as seen in Fig. B.) Attach
the wheels to the brackets using the nuts and bolts you have loosened and removed from the wheels. Once
attached, the wheels should sit slightly above the ground (Fig. C) as wheels should only engage for moving
the heater when the heater is tipped backwards slightly. If wheels are FLAT on the ground once attached to
the brackets with the heater in UPRIGHT position, then wheels are NOT correctly mounted on brackets.

4. Locate the Aluminum Tubes (4). Remove 8 pieces/4 sets of tubes. There will be 4 pieces of tubes that
have a rod protruding from one end and 4 pieces of tubes WITHOUT the protrusion. To fit tubes together,
locate the piece WITHOUT the protrusion and make sure there is a small hole at the bottom of the tube.
Then locate a tube WITH the protrusion and slide the protruding rod into the end of the other tube until the
two holes align. Insert one M3x16 screw (C) and tighten to secure the two rods together. Repeat this with
the other 3 sets (4 sets total, 4 –M3x16 screws total).
5. Once you have the assembled sets of the Aluminum Tubes, slide the bottom of the assembled set (note
that the bottom will have 3 holes—top has NO holes) down over the protruding rod located at each corner
of the Tank Housing Assembly and secure the assembled rod set to the heater on the inside of the rod by
using 2 - M3x16 screws (C) on each corner (4 corners total, 8 - M3x16 screws total). Then secure the
assembled rod set to the heater on the outside of the rod by using 2 –M3x16 screws (4 corners total,
8 –M3x16 screws total).
6. Locate the Damper (4). Attach the Damper to the top of the assembled Aluminum Tubes using 2 –M3x16
screws (C) on each corner (4 corners total, 8 –M3x16 screws total).

7. Locate the Reflector (5). Lean the heater slightly over and attach the Reflector to the Damper using
3 –M3x16 (C) screws.
8. Locate the Glass Tube (6) (2 pcs/1 set), Stainless Steel Ring (7) and Rubber Ring (B). Connect the 2 pcs.
of the Glass Tube with the Stainless Steel Ring by gently inserting one end of the ring into one piece of the
tube and then repeat with the other tube so you have joined the 2 pcs. of the Glass Tube together with the
Ring in the middle.
9. Place the Rubber Ring (B) on the base of the assembled Glass Tube (Fig. A). Check the 3 metal spring
tabs located on the underside of the Damper (Fig. B) and make sure they are bent outward so that when
you begin to insert the Glass Tube, you will not strike the metal spring tabs and also to make sure they do
not get inserted INSIDE the Glass Tube—the spring tabs should be on the OUTER edges of the glass tube.
Then carefully insert the assembled Glass Tube into the hole located on the top of the Tank Housing
Assembly (Fig. C) and slide the top of the assembled Glass Tube into the metal spring tabs located on the
bottom side of the Damper (Fig. D). DO NOT FORCE THE TUBE—it should insert easily.

10.Locate the Mesh Guards (8)--8 pieces/4 sets. There will be 4 pieces that are narrow and 4 pieces that
are wider (Fig A). Begin with the wider pieces and hang them with the hook attached to the mesh guards
onto the assembled Aluminum Tubes (there are 4 oblong holes in each tube—2 at the top and 2 at the
bottom –Fig. B).The wider pieces will go at the bottom and the narrower pieces will go at the top. As you
are hanging the mesh guards, use the Guard Connectors (9) to secure each edge of the wider guard to the
edge of the narrower guard (Fig. C).
11. Locate the Guard Fastening Pieces (D). Screw the Guard Fastening Pieces on the top of the mounting
plate to help keep the Mesh Guards firmly in place using 4 –M3x16 screws (C).
12. Locate the Knob with Chain (10) and screw the knob into the front panel of the Tank Housing Assembly
and attach the chain to the control box.
