SAFETY CHECK
Check for leaks
All connections on the patio heater have been
checked for leakage at the factory. In
transportation and handling some connections
may have loosened. Follow these steps to check
the gas hose/regulator/cylinder connections:
1) Make leakage solution by mixing 1 part liquid
dish soap and 3 parts water.
2) Spoon or brush several drops (or use squirt
bottle) of the solution onto hose connection,
regulator & cylinder connection.
3) Turn on gas cylinder valve. Inspect the
connections and look for bubbles.
4) If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe.
5) If bubbles appear, there is leakage. Loosen
and re-tighten this connection. If connection
still leaks, please call customer service:
1-866-814-0585.
Note:
1) The cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal;
2) The cylinder used must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve.
