VENTILATION
Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm.) for
each 100,000 BTU/Hr of heater output. For example, a MH-0150-LM10 will require:
a two-car garage door open 6 inches, or
a single car garage open 9 inches, or
two thirty two inch wide windows open 15 inches.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS (MODELS MH-0050-LM10, MH-0150-LM10)
1. Connect power cord to a properly grounded three (3) prong 120V, 60 Hz, extension cord.
EXTENSION CORD WIRE REQUIREMENTS:
6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) long, use 18 AWG conductor.
11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.53 meters) long, use 16 AWG conductor.
101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use 14 AWG conductor.
2. Connect heater to a proper LP cylinder.
3. Turn gas valve clockwise to OFF position.
4. Wait ve (5) minutes for any gas to clear. Smell for gas; if you do not smell gas, go to Step 5.
5. Push in and turn gas control knob counterclockwise to LOW/IGN position. This will light the burner. If
needed, keep pressing control knob until the burner lights.
6. Keep the valve knob depressed for at least 30 seconds after lighting the burner. After 30 seconds, release

7. If burner does not stay lit, repeat lighting procedure.
8. When burner stays lit, turn gas valve knob counterclockwise to desired setting.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS (MODELS MH-0150-LMT0)
The theory of operation for the 150T thermostat is the incoming power is controlled by the thermostat, which
uses a resistance temperature detector (RTD ) to open and close a circuit to shut off the incoming power to
the circuit board. The circuit board controls a solenoid valve to control the gas ow to the nozzle and power
to the fan. [This is possible for this heater because it does not use a thermocouple to rectify ame presence.
Flame presence is rectied through the igniter.
1. Follow all safety, installation and ventilation instructions in this manual.
2. Position the heater on a stable and level surface, and be sure that no drafts blow into the inlet or outlet of
the heater.
3. Plug the power cord of the heater into a three hole grounded extension cord. Be sure that the extension
cord is at least 6 feet long, and is UL listed.
Up to 50 feet long, use 18 AWG rated cord.
