TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SCOPE OF USE
This appliance is designed for quick heating in large areas, marquees etc. It is not intended
for domestic use and it may only be used outside or in well ventilated rooms. Use of the product
for any other purpose and / or modification of the product count as misuse and can be highly
dangerous and is forbidden.
For industrial use, a hose failure safety device has to be fitted to the appliance. For Roturbo
35000 and 35000 SA, this valve is pre-assembled with the gas pressure regulator. For the
other items, it can be purchased from the manufacturer.
This appliance may only be used with propane or with propane-butane mixtures and with a
regulator with a constant output pressure of 300 mbar (Roturbo 12000, 19000) respectively
1500 mbar (Roturbo 35000, 35000 SA). This appliance shall only be used with LPG refillable
cylinders (different sizes in different countries, e.g. Germany 5 kg, 11 kg or 33 kg). It can be
dangerous to connect the burner to other types of gas containers.
Always make sure that the regulator and the hose used for this appliance are certified.

MOUNTING THE HANDLE
Mount the handle onto the gas heater using the screws provided. Use a PH2 phillips
screwdriver.
INSTALLATION / PREPARING FOR USE
CONNECTING TO A GAS CYLINDER
- Ensure that all valves are closed.
- Check that the seal between the regulator and the gas container are in place and in good
condition before connecting to the gas container. Depending on the version / country, the
seal may be located in the pressure regulator connection, in the gas cylinder connection
or in both connections. In case of doubt, please contact your local gas dealer.
- Check the condition of the hose and regulator each time before using the burner. Do not
use a hose or regulator that is damaged or worn.
- Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder. Ensure that the direction of rotation of
the thread is correct (there may be differences according to country).
- Install the hose failure safety device, if available.
- Connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator and to the appliance. The hose end
connector and the appliance connector have left-handed threads.
- Tighten the connections and the pressure regulator with a suitably sized open-ended
wrench (there may be differences according to version / country). Do not exert excessive
force to prevent over-tightening or damaging the threads.
- Open the cylinder valve. Ensure that all the connections are tight. Use a leakage detection
spray or soapy water for this purpose. The connections may have to be re-tightened.
- Do not use the device if there is a leak in the system.
- Close the cylinder valve after performing the leakage test.
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS
- Ensure that the rated power indicated on the machine label corresponds with your mains
before using the machine.
