INSTALLATI N
The eat Wagon Model 4200 Series is a direct fired gas heater intended to be used primarily for the
temporary heating of building under construction, alteration, or repair. Since all the products of
combustion are released into the area being heated, it is imperative that adequate ventilation is pro-
vided. The flow of supply air and combustion gases must not be obstructed in any way.
1. The heater is designed for indoor or outdoor installation in a horizontal position. Allow the
following clearances from any combustible material or fuel containers.
Front Outlet: 10 feet Sides: 2 feet
Intake: 1.5 feet Top: 4 feet
Also make sure that no flammable vapors are present in the space where the heaters is being used.
2. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qualified service
person.
3. The hose assembly must be inspected prior to each use of the heater. If it is evident that there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater being put
into operation. The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer. See
parts list.
4. When connecting the heater to a natural gas or propane supply line ensure that the pressure at
the heater inlet is within the specified range. Excessive pressure (over 250 psig) will damage the
controls and void the warranty.
5. Connect the hose assembly to the heater gas inlet elbow. The elbow has a 1/2” Female NPT
thread. The hose assembly is supplied with a swivel connector to avoid kinking or twisting the
hose. Use a minimum inside diameter of 1/2” on LP or 3/4” on natural gas installations. Ensure
that the hose assembly is protected from traffic, building materials, and contact with hot
surfaces.
6. After installation, check hose assembly for gas leaks by applying a soap and water solution to
each connection.
7. Connect the heater to an adequate electrical supply as specified on the rating plate. For
protection against shock hazard the supply cord should be connected directly into a properly
grounded fused disconnect.
8. Replacement parts are available from any eat Wagon distributor or by calling 1-888-432-8924
for parts information.

PR PER SET UP
(N TE: The 4200 Series must be specifically set up for the type of available fuel PRI R to
installation)
Model 4200 Series with built-in vaporizer. The heater
will use 55-77 gallon of L.P. per hour. Use at least two
1000 gal. Liquid withdrawal tank. This will insure 20
hours of continuous operation.
When running unit on Liquid Propane, the heater must be set up onside of the building,
forcing the heat through a building opening.
• ose size for Liquid Propane
–up to 50’ 1/2” ID
Keep hose length as short as possible.
Model 4200 Series, if setup for Vapor Propane
withdraws 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 BTU’s per hour. Proper Tank sizing is essential. A propane tank
can only make X amount of Vapor per hour. With drawing the vapor at a faster rate will frost the
tank and eventually the burner will run out of fuel.
Hose sizing Vapor Propane
•Up to 50’, use 3/4” or larger hose
For Natural Gas applications you must know the available line pressure and pipe inside diameter.
Call the factory for the proper size of orifice, gas manifold and hose.
Vapor Propane and Natural Gas Units can be used inside the building or outside.
•Wire heater directly into fused disconnect

For your safety do not use this heater in a space where gasoline or other liquids, having flammable
vapors, are stored or used.
It is best to provide outside clean air to heater inlet and adequate ventilation to heated areas. The
hose assembly shall be protected from traffic, damage, building materials and contact with hot sur-
faces.
Check all connections for leaks.
Turn off fuel supply and burn out leftover fuel in hose when heater is not in use.
eater can be ducted up to 400 ft of straight 27” duct. For every 90˚ bend cut the total length in
half.
If the heater is ducted it may be necessary to adjust the air flow switch (located inside control box)
by turning adjusting screw CCW until the light on the control box turns on.
If the heater is equipped with a i/Lo Fire Thermostat, place the thermostat inside the area to be
heated, then set desired temperature. eater will cycle from high to low fire.
INSTALLATI N USING A PR PANE SUPPLY TANK(S)
1) The propane supply system must be set up for vapor withdrawal from the operating tank(s).
Liquid propane can cause the heater to overfire and will damage valve train components, unless
unit is supplied with a built in vaporizer.
2) The heater must be at least 6 ft. from any LP-Gas container, and not directed toward any LP-Gas
container with in 20 ft.
3) Minimum Tank Size Outdoor Temperature
500 Gal. Above +25˚F
1000 Gal. +25˚F to + 10˚ F
2 x 1000 Gal. Below +10˚F
4) The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
Standard for Storage and andling of Liquefied Petroleum Gasses ANSI/NFPA 58.
5) Turn off the propane supply valve at the tank(s) when the heater is not in use.
6) When the heater is to be stored indoors the propane tank(s) must be disconnected from the
heater and the tank(s) stored in accordance with Chapter 5 of the above National Standard.

C MM N INSTALLATI N AND PERATI NAL PR BLEMS
1) LOW VOLTAGE AT T E EATER
This is one of the most common problems and is usually the result of the supply cord having
too small a wire gauge for its length, or low voltage at the power source. Low voltage results in
the motor overheating, burnt relay contacts, or a relay that will not make contact. Check
voltmeter on heater before start-up.
2) SUPPLY LINE TOO SMALL
Minimum Size: 1/2” for LP, 3/4” for Natural Gas.
3) INSUFFICIENT VAPORIZATION AT SUPPLY
Normally caused by undersized supply tank.
4) IMPROPER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE
Usually a result of propane supply pressure being too high because of improper or lack of
regulation or too low of natural gas pressure at meter.
5) DIRTY GAS SUPPLY
Dirty gas can cause strainers to plug or form a build-up in the burner orifice.
6) LACK OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
eaters must be cleaned as required, especially when used in a dirty environment.
7) IMPROPER SUPPLY OF FRES AIR
It is strongly recommended that the intake air of the heater be taken from outside the enclosed
area. This provides a slight pressurization and prevents any problems associated with
recirculation of products of combustion.
