ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of
the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.
This heater is supplied with a charger fitted with a standard UK type 230v ~ plug.
Before using the charger in-spect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are
damaged. If any damage is visible have the heater inspected / repaired by a suitably
qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant
plug would be preferable.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
Earth
Neutral
Yellow / Green
Blue
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your
plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected
to the terminal marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown,
must be connected to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red. The wire
which is coloured yellow / green should be connected to the terminal which is
coloured the same or marked.
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and
tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.
Cord Grip
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read,
understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe.
You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or
damage.
You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimized by the installation of
appropriate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be
incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual
current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable
products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in
any doubt consult a qualified electrician.

This is a direct-fired forced-air propane heater for either indoor or outdoor use. It's
intended use is primarily the temporary heating of buildings under construction,
alteration or repair, but is equally at home in any well ventilated area. All products of
combustion generated by the heater are forced through the heater and released into
the area being heated. This heater operates at approximately 98% + combustion
efficiency but still produces a small amount of carbon monoxide. Humans can
tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide for short periods. Carbon monoxide can
build up in a heated space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
poisoning or death.
WARNING: Not suitable for use with ductwork.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
Portable & Stable.
Wind Resistant.
Has a Safety Shut-off System
Warning: The Propane pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with this
heater must be used without alteration.
The assembly should be visually inspected prior to each use. If the is evidence of any
wear or damage to the hose or the regulator, it should be directly replaced from SIP, or
one of it’s agents prior to the heater being operated.
The heaters mentioned in this manual should only be used outdoors, or in
well ventilated surroundings.
A general rule would be that for every Kw of output there should be permanent
ventilation of 25 cm² with a minimum outlet / inlet of 250 cm².
Gas cylinders should be kept and used in accordance with current local
regulations.
Never direct the hot air flow from the heater towards the cylinder.
Never use the heater without all of the covers / guards fitted.
Always place the heater so that the inlet and outlet are not obstructed.
If the heater has to work for long periods of time, particularly at full capacity; it is
possible that ice will form on the propane cylinder. This is due to high vapour
withdrawal - Not for this reason, or for any reason should the cylinder be
heated. To avoid this effect, or at least to reduce it; use a larger cylinder, or
link 2 or more together (see picture on page 12).
Note: Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures; you may need two or
more cylinders or one large cylinder per heater in colder weather. Your local
propane dealer should be able to advise you on this matter.

IMPORTANT: You must use a propane gas supply cylinder that is compatible with
the fitting on the regulator provided with your heater.
Connect the gas pipe to the heater, the gas regulator to a suitable gas cylinder & the
opposite end of the pipe to the gas regulator; Secure using an appropriate spanner /
wrench.
Ensure all connections are secure and leak free; Apply a 50/50 solution of liquid soap
and water to gas joints - bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
TO START THE HEATER
Note: Position the gas cylinder / heater so that the hose leaving
the regulator has no kinks or bends.
Insert the battery into the housing.
Turn the main On/Off switch to the on “I” position; the fan should start running.
Turn on the gas supply.
Press and hold the gas valve on the heater whilst simultaneously &
repeatedly (if necessary) pressing the ignition switch until the heater ignites.
Continue to hold the gas valve for at least 20 seconds.
Release the gas valve and the heater should continue to run.
TO STOP THE HEATER
Turn off the gas supply.
Continue to run the heater for around 30 seconds to allow the components to
cool.
Press the main switch to the off “0” position
Note: Fully charge the battery before each use.
The heater will run for approx. 8 hours on a full charge - try not to let
the battery to totally run flat & cut out during use.
Never leave heaters unattended.

14
Caution: The heater should be cold, turned off and removed from the mains supply
before any alteration and / or maintenance operations are performed.
Caution: Any repairs or maintenance should only be carried out by a suitable
qualified person.
The heater should be checked at least once a year even when abnormal
operation is not apparent.
Check all connections are leak free before each operation.
Check the condition of the gas hose and regulator before each use and replace
as necessary.
Check the condition of the mains lead and plug before each use and replace as
necessary.
Always check for obvious signs of damage before each use. Replace any
damaged items as necessary.
Check that the fan moves freely before each use.
It is advisable for a suitably qualified person to check the heater if it has been in
storage, or has not been used for an extended period.
Periodically check the ignition electrode gap and adjust as necessary.
Periodically check the connections to the safety thermostat and the
thermocouple - they must always be clean.
When necessary; clean the fan and the inside of the heater with low pressure
compressed air - a dust mask and safety glasses should be worn during this
operation.
Dispose of the battery in accordance with local & national regulations.
