1. Read all safety precautions and follow L. B. Whiterecommendations when installing this heater. Ifduring the installation or relocating of heater, yoususpect that a part is damaged or defective, call aqualified service agency for repair or replacement.2. Make sure the heater is properly positioned before useand is hung level. Observe and obey all minimum safedistances of the heater to the nearest combustiblematerials. Minimum safe distances are given on theheater nameplate and on page 4 of this manual.3. For heaters intended for outdoor installation, theheater is to be installed at least 18 inches above theground or to a height that would prevent snowblockage of heater’s air inlet.4. The heater may be used either indoors or outdoors.When the heater is mounted outdoors, use only theductwork supplied in the outdoor mounting kit.5. The heater must have the proper gas regulator installedfor the application. A regulator must be connected tothe gas supply so that gas pressure at the inlet to thegas valve is regulated within the range specified on thedataplate at all times. Contact your gas supplier, or theL.B. White Co., Inc. if you have any questions.6. The heater’s gas regulator (with pressure relief valve)should be installed outside of building. Anyregulators inside the buildings must be properlyvented to the outside. Local, state and nationalcodes always apply to regulator installation. Naturalgas regulators with vent limiting device may bemounted indoors without venting to outdoors.7. All gas pressure regulators must be installed in strictaccordance with the manufacturer’s safety instructions.These instructions accompany each regulator.8. Insure that all accessories that ship within the heaterhave been removed from inside of heater andinstalled. This per tains to air diver ters, hose,regulators, etc.9. Make certain that a sediment trap is installed at thegas valve inlet to prevent foreign materials (pipecompound, pipe chips and scale) from entering thegas valve. Debris blown into the gas valve may causethat valve to malfunction resulting in a serious gasleak that could result in a possible fire or explosioncausing loss of products, building or even life. Aproperly installed sediment trap will keep foreignmaterials from entering the gas valve and protect thesafe functioning of that important safety component.10. Any heater connected to a piping system must havean accessible, approved manual shut off valveinstalled within six feet (6 ft.) of the appliance itserves.11. Check all connections for gas leaks using approvedgas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed asfollows:-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,fittings and adapters upstream of the gascontrol with approved gas leak detectors.-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check thecomponents involved for cleanliness andproper application of pipe compound beforefurther tightening.-- Furthermore tighten the gas connections asnecessary to stop the leak.-- After all connections are checked and anyleaks are stopped, turn on the main burner.-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites toprevent injury caused from hidden leaks thatcould cause flashback.-- With the main burner in operation, check allconnections, hose connections, fittings andjoints as well as the gas control valve inlet andoutlet connections with approved gas leakdetectors.-- If a leak is detected, check the componentsinvolved for cleanliness in the thread areasand proper application of pipe compoundbefore further tightening.-- Tighten the gas connection as necessary tostop the leak.-- If necessary, replace the parts or componentsinvolved if the leak cannot be stopped.-- Ensure all gas leaks have been identified andrepaired before proceeding.WARNINGFire or explosion hazard.Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to preventelectrical shock or equipment damage.2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turnoff gas supply at the appliance service valve beforestarting installation, and perform gas leak test aftercompletion of installation.3. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only yourhand to turn the gas control knob. Never use anytools. If the knob will not operate by hand, thecontrol should be replaced by a qualified servicetechnician. Force or attempted repair may result infire or explosion.8Installation InstructionsGENERALWARNINGFire and Explosion Hazard■ Do not use open flame (matches, torches, candles,etc.) in checking for gas leaks.■ Use only approved leak detectors.■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires orexplosions.■ Fires or explosions can lead to property damage,personal injury or loss of life.
