1. Make sure the propane tank valve and needle valves are
turned OFF.
2. Make sure male SAE fitting is properly attached to air shutter
refer to "Assembly Instructions". Attach POL fitting to
tank using adjustable wrench and tighten by turning
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
3. Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid to
three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the hose and
connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy mixture
to the regulator, POL fitting, control valve, the entire length of
hose and SAE fitting (located near the air shutter).
4. With the needle valves in the "OFF" position, open the propane
tank valve two full turns (counter-clockwise). Next, open the
needle valves fully and check for bubbles at control valve,
along the entire length of hose and at the SAE fitting. DO NOT
LEAVE GAS ON FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. If soapy
mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through the connection
or hose. Turn the propane tank valve OFF and retighten the
connection that is leaking gas. Repeat procedure with soapy
mixture until gas no longer leaks. NEVER USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn the propane tank valve OFF
after each test.
5. Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5
MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE LIGHTING
THE BURNER.
Carefully follow "Operating Instructions" to light the burner
and properly operate this unit.
