Propane gas and natural gas have man-made odor-

ants added speciﬁ cally for detection of fuel gas leaks.

If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell

the fuel gas . THAT’S YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO

IMMEDIATE ACTION!

■ Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel

gas. Do not operate any electrical switches. Do not

pull any power supply or extension cords. Do not

light matches or any other source of ﬂ ame. Do not

use your telephone.

■ Get everyone out of the building and away from the

area immediately.

■ Close all fuel supply valves.

■ Propane gas is heavier than air and may settle in

low areas. When you have reason to suspect a

propane leak, keep out of all low areas.

■ Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas-

supplier and your ﬁ re department. Do not re-enter

the building or area.

■ Stay out of the building and away from the area

until declared safe by the ﬁ reﬁ ghters and your fuel

gas supplier.

■ FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the

ﬁ reﬁ ghters check for escaped gas. Have them

air out the building and area before you return.

Properly trained service people must repair the

leak, check for further leakages, and then relight

the heater for you.

■ Some people cannot smell well. Some people

cannot smell the odor of the man-made chemi-

cal added to propane or natural gas. You must

determine if you can smell the odorant in these

fuel gases.

■ Learn to recognize the odor of propane gas and

natural gas. Local propane gas dealers and your

local natural gas supplier (utility) will be more than

happy to give you a “scratch and sniff” pamphlet.

Use it to become familiar with the fuel gas odor.

■ Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being

around an odor for a period of time can affect your

sensitivity to that particular odor.

■ The odorant in propane gas and natural gas is col-

orless and the intensity of its odor can fade under

some circumstances.

■ If there is an underground leak, the movement of

gas through the soil can ﬁ lter the odorant.

■ Propane gas odor may differ in intensity at different

levels. Since propane gas is heavier than air, there

may be more odor at lower levels.

■ Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you

continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how

small, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into

action as discussed previously.

8. Check all connections for gas leaks using ap-

proved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is

performed as follows:

-- Check all pipe connections, hose connections,

ﬁ ttings and adapters upstream of the gas control

with approved gas leak detectors.

-- In the event a gas leak is detected, check the

components involved for cleanliness and proper

application of pipe compound before further

tightening.

-- Tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop

the leak.

-- After all connections are checked and any leaks

are stopped, turn on the main burner.

-- Stand clear while the main burner ignites to

prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that could

cause ﬂ ashback.

-- With the main burner in operation, check all

connections, hose connections, ﬁ ttings and joints

as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet

connections with approved gas leak detectors.

-- If a leak is detected, check the components

involved for cleanliness in the thread areas and

9. A qualiﬁ ed service agency must check for proper

operating gas pressure upon installation of the

heater.

10. Light according to instructions on heater or

within owner’s manual.

11. The heater must have the proper gas

regulator for the application. Use only the

L.B. White regulator originally supplied with

the heater. This regulator includes a POL

ﬁ tting incorporating an excess ﬂ ow valve. The

excess ﬂ ow valve is a safety device which

protects against discharge from the propane

gas supply container if the regulator is broken

off. If the POL ﬁ tting is ever replaced, it needs

to be replaced with an L.B. White POL ﬁ tting.

Failure to do so can result in ﬁ res, explosions,

loss of property, injury or death.

12. A regulator must be connected to the gas

supply so that the pressure to the inlet of

the gas control valve is regulated within the

range speciﬁ ed on the dataplate at all times.

Co., if you have any questions.

13. This heater is conﬁ gured for use for propane

gas vapor withdrawal only. Do not use the

heater in an propane gas liquid withdrawal

system or application. If you are in doubt,

contact the L.B. White Co., Inc.

14. The heater must be installed so as not to

interfere with or obstruct normal exits, emer-

gency exits, doors and walkways.

15. Railing, fencing or suitable substitute

materials must be used to keep the heating

equipment from any people using and visiting

the structure.

16. The unit shall be located so that rain, ice,

or snow drainage from the structure does

not affect equipment operation. If the unit is

mounted outside, it must be mounted above

any pooled or standing water. If the unit is

to be located on the ground, a surrounding

trench is recommended to drain any rain, ice

or snow away from the unit.

17. The ground and surrounding terrain must be

cleared of any combustible vegetation and

other combustible materials when the heater

is mounted outside.

18. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical

devices, the thermostat can fail. Thermostat

failure may result in an underheating condi-

tion. The thermostat should be tested to

eliminated and defective parts replaced imme-

diately. The heater must be retested by properly

qualiﬁ ed service personnel before placing the

heater back into use.

The vaporization of propane is affected by several

factors: the surface area of the container, the liquid

level of propane, temperature surrounding the

container, and the relative humidity. All of these

factors are speciﬁ c to a site. Therefore, a degree of

experience and judgement is required to select the

proper propane supply.

Although experience is the best guide, the follow-

ing recommendations can be used as a starting

point. The table is based on experience in northern

climates where cold weather and high humidity are

prevalent in the winter. If more or less favorable

conditions prevail at a speciﬁ c site, adjustments can

be made on the basis of experience.

* Cylinders must be manifolded together to allow simultaneous vapor withdrawal from all cylinders.

ventilation (no heat) modes. See Fig. 17.

FIG. 17

Selector

Switch

A. Heat Mode Operation

a. Open all manual fuel supply valves. Check

for gas leaks using an approved leak de-

tector. The gas control valve in the heater

has a manual shut-off feature incorporated

into the valve assembly. Ensure the indica-

tor on the valve is positioned to ON. See

FIG. 18

b. Push the selector switch to heat.

See. Fig. 17.

c. Set the thermostat above room

temperature

-- The fan motor will start

-- Igniter will spark

-- Ignition occurs

d. The thermostat cycles the heater on and off

based on set point.

(It is normal for air to be trapped in the gas hose on

new installations. The heater may attempt more than

one trial for ignition before air is ﬁ nally purged from

line and ignition takes place.)

When the switch is set to heat, four status lights

(see Fig.17) will be activated in sequence as speciﬁ c

circuits are checked by the ignition control. If the

heater does not light, and a status light is off, refer to

the troubleshooting label on the inside of the heater’s

burner end access door or the troubelshooting of the

manual.

B. Vent Mode Operation

-- Push the selector switch to off, O, then to vent

-- Only the fan motor will operate. The igniter will

not spark,nor will ignition occur.

The ventilation feature is used when air circulation is

required. The heater will not cycle on its thermostat

setting.

C. Off O

1. Position the switch to midpoint O.

2. Do not exceed input rating stamped on

nameplate or manufacturer’s recom-

mended burner oriﬁ ce pressure for

size oriﬁ ce(s) used. Make certain that

the primary air supply to main burner

is open and free of dust, dirt and debris

for complete, proper combustion.
