Lighting Instructions

For your own safety, please be sure to read and thoroughly understand Sections 8, 9, 10, and 11 relating to the proper handling of propane and other safety precautions and warnings.

Before turning on the fuel supply at the tank visually inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, cracking, or unusual wear and tear. If the hose leaks, please notify A V Party Rentals before lighting heater.

To Light Heater

  • Open the side panel and be sure that the LP regulator is properly engaged in the propane tank.
  • Be sure the control knob on the heater head is in the “OFF” position.
  • Turn the tank valve in a counter-clockwise direction to open. If the regulator assembly is not properly engaged into the tank the flow of gas will be interrupted by the safety shut-off device. No gas will go to the heater.
  • Gently depress the control knob on the control panel and rotate it counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position, and hold for 1 full minute.
  • Push the igniter to generate a spark while keeping the control knob in the depressed position.
  • Check for pilot flame through the glass tube. If the pilot does not light, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position, and wait two minutes to try again from step 4. Several attempts may be necessary.
  • The burner may now be turned on to the full “HIGH” position for maximum heat output or it may be turned back to reduce heat output and fuel consumption. If you turn the control knob all the way back to the “PILOT” position the main burner will go off and the pilot flame will remain lit, you then re-ignite the main burner directly from the “PILOT” position.

Please Note: If the flame is not strong enough, you will need to restart the Heater by first turning off the burner valve, then turning off the propane tank. Check to make sure that the regulator is securely fastened to the propane tank, and there are no leaks in the line going to the Heater.  Wait 30 seconds, then open the propane tank before opening the burner valve. Then light the Heater.

If you turn the heater off and then have to re-light 1) Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.

  • Wait at least FIVE minutes before attempting to relight heater. The safety system built into the heater will not allow you to immediately re-light the heater directly from the “OFF” position. Please do not try to defeat this safety system.
  • Repeat starting with STEP #4. You should not have to wait more than few seconds to re-light the “PILOT” light and then ignite the main burner.

To Turn Off or Shut Down Heater

Turn the control knob in a clock-wise direction to the “OFF” position. You may hear a slight popping sound when the main burner shuts down. This is normal.  Open the side panel and turn the valve on the top of the propane tank in a clock-wise direction to turn it off.
