CONVERTING TO LP/PROPANE GAS AT
ALTITUDES BETWEEN ZERO & 4,500 FT.
Converting single - stage valves to LP/Propane requires
the replacement of the burner orifices and/or the spring
found under the cap screw in the pressure regulator.
Converting two - stage valves to LP/Propane requires
the replacement of the burner orifices and/or the stem/
spring assembly in the pressure regulator.
Table 2 (page 4), provides the manifold pressure for
altitudes above 2,000 feet.
WARNING:
Shut off the gas supply at the manual gas shutoff
valve, before disconnecting the electrical
power. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
