LP Hose and Regulator Assembly and Replacement
1 This appliance comes equipped with a standard LP gas hose and regulator including the appliance side connection for a CGA No
791 Cylinder Connection Device. The LP gas hose and regulator supplied with this appliance must be used. Only a hose and
regulator specified by manufacturer can be used for replacement.
a) The CGA No791 connection incorporates an excess flow limiting device that acts to limit the flow of gas if a leak is detected
between the regulator and the burner valve.
b) If the burner valve is open prior to the LP gas cylinder service valve being opened, the connection will interpret this free flow of gas
to be a leak
c) The connection safety feature will reduce gas flow from the regulator to the appliance to a minimal level.
d) Be sure that the burner control valve is closed prior to opening the LP gas cylinder service valve to ensure that the connection flow
limiting device is not triggered mistakenly.
e) If the connection flow limiting device is triggered mistakenly, close the LP gas cylinder service valve and the burner valve, wait 10
seconds to allow the device to reset, open the cylinder service valve, then open the burner.
valve and light the appliance as per lighting instructions.
2 Be sure to protect the hose from any hot surfaces. Serious danger may result if the hose contacts any hot surface.

1. Do not light or use gas unit if lava rocks are wet. Ensure lava rocks are completely dry before lighting as intense heat could cause
the lava rocks to crack.
2. Lava rocks could hit somebody' face or eyes during the initial start of this unit, so please keep away from the appliance for the
first 20 minutes.
WARNING
LAVA ROCK USE
!
3. Regular maintenance of the hose and regulator:
a) Inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If the hose shows signs of cracks, abrasions, cuts or damage of any kind, do not
operate the appliance. Fix or replace the hose as required before using the appliance. For assistance with repair o
replacement of the hose, call hero Manufacturing at 1-580-590-7341. Use only replacement parts from the manufacturer
b) Inspect the seal inside the CGA No 791 service valve on the LP gas cylinder when replacing the cylinder or at least once per year. If
there is any indication of damage, have the seal replaced by a certified gas dealer before operating the appliance.
4. Do not use tools to tighten the CGA No 791 connection nut onto the LP gas cylinder service valve.
Hand tighten only.
5. Be careful to not cross the threads on the connection when tightening the CGA No 791 connection on to the LP gas cylinder service
valve.
6. “Leak Test” should always be performed after attaching the connection to the LP gas cylinder service valve.
(See “Leak Test” section of this manual)
7. For the connection of the hose and regulator to the LP tank, refer to the “Connection” section of the LP gas cylinder
section above.
