OPERATION
After the heater is properly assembled and all
gas connections to the regulator have been
tested for gas tightness (Refer page 9, To test
for gas tightness.), the heater is ready for
operation.
Connecting gas bottle:
1 Slide the bottle cover up until it is clear of
the leg assembly and rests on top of legs
so that it will not fall down while you are
installing the bottle.
2 ALWAYS CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY
HOSE FOR DAMAGE BEFORE
PROCEEDING AND HAVE THE HOSE
REPLACED IF THERE ARE ANY
CRACKS, HOLES, ABRASION MARKS
OR SIGNS OF PERISHING.
3 Attach the regulator to the bottle NOTE: the
thread on the regulator tightens by turning
counter-clockwise.
4 Fully open the valve on the gas bottle and
check the connection for leaks as described
in the assembly instructions.
5 Replace the bottle cover so that it is resting
completely on the base, taking care not to
trap the gas supply hose against the legs.

backwards again until the wheels are
hanging straight down and stand the heater
back up (the wheels should fold away without
any further assistance).

OPERATION CONTINUED
Lighting the heater
Once the heater is properly assembled and has
been checked for leaks, it is ready for
operation.( Refer page 9, To test for gas
tightness.)
1 Place the heater outdoors and ensure that the
minimum clearances to combustible materials
are met. (See pages 5 and 6, for definition of
outdoor area)
2 Make sure the heater is sitting on a firm flat
surface with the wheels retracted and all the
guards are in place, with the bottle cover sitting
on the base. NOTE: The heater will not start if
it is not standing straight up.
3 Check that both control knobs are in the off
(0) position.
4 Fully open the valve on the gas bottle.
5 Press and hold the ignition (right hand ) knob
down to the ignition symbol. You should hear
a ticking noise from the spark ignition. If there
is no sound then check that the battery is
properly installed and has a charge.
6 When the main burner has ignited then hold
the knob down for a further 15 seconds to
maintain ignition.
7 Once ignition has been established the
second control knob can be used to control
the top burner
8 If the burner fails to ignite or stay alight then
wait at least 5 minutes before trying again.
Shutting down the heater

Before proceeding with assembly of your patio
heater, unpack all the boxes and be sure that
you can identify all the parts shown below.
Note:
The legs and leg flange have been bolted
together for shipping purposes and will need to
be separated before assembly can begin.

ASSEMBLY CONTINUED
1 Place the base on a flat surface, making
sure that the wheels are folded away
underneath the base.
2 Remove 1 bolt from the base and, using the
same bolt, attach 1 of the legs as shown
(do not re-tighten the bolt fully at this stage)
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE MORE
THAN 1 BOLT AT A TIME
3 Once all three legs are in place, attach the
leg flange to the top of the legs using the
M8 x 20 bolts and nuts. You can now fully
tighten the bolts in both the base and the
leg flange.
4 Slide the stainless steel pole over the leg
flange and attach using BOTH self
tapping screws. Take care not to over-
tighten the screws, as this may strip the
threads.
5 Slide the stainless steel
bottle cover assembly over
the pole, then remove the
protective rubber strip from
the end of the burner
assembly spigot tube.
Remove the battery cover
from the burner assembly
and slide it over the pole as
well.
6 Carefully hold the burner
support and feed the gas
supply hose down the pole
until it protrudes through the
leg flange.
7 Slide the burner assembly
spigot tube inside the pole.
You will need to depress the
small silver button on the
back of the spigot tube to
allow the assembly to slide
down fully. (Take care not to
pinch fingers)
8 Once the assembly is
inserted, you may need to
rotate it until the silver button
protrudes from the pole.

plastic clip on the side of the burner
assembly) attach the hood using the
stainless steel button head cap screws. Do
not tighten the screws until all four are in
place. You may need to tilt the unit over or
use a step ladder to attach the hood.

To test for gas tightness:
1 Fit the regulator to a properly filled gas bottle
and tighten by hand. (Note: turn fitting counter-
clockwise to tighten)
2 Fully open the valve on the gas bottle.
3 Using a brush or spray bottle, apply a solution
made up of liquid soap and water to all gas
connections to the regulator.
4 If bubbles appear then there is a leak .
5 If a leak is detected you must shut off the valve
immediately. Re-tighten the leaking connection
and re-test. If a leak is still detected then
contact the retailer where the appliance was
purchased from or an approved service
technician.
