WARNING!
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions prior to beginning conversion.
•
NOT FOR USE ON PATIO HEATERS.
•
Natural gas is ammable and hazardous if handled improperly.
Become aware of its characteristics before using any natural gas product.
•
Natural gas characteristics: Flammable, explosive under pressure, lighter
than air and settles in pools in high areas.
•
In its natural state, natural gas has no odor.
For your safety, an odorant has been added.
•
Your natural gas outdoor appliance has been designed to operate on natural
gas only, at a pressure of seven inches water column (7" W.C.).
•
Chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm are created by the combustion of natural gas.
•
Check with your gas utility for local gas pressure, because in some areas
natural gas pressure varies. Also, check with your gas company or with local
building codes for instructions to install a gas supply line or call a licensed and
qualied installer.
•
It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut–o valve be installed at the
gas supply source: Outdoors after the gas line exits outside wall and before
quick disconnect or before gas supply line enters ground.
•
The appliance and its individual shut o valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
•
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shut o valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
•
Make sure the natural gas hose is not in contact with any high temperature
surface or it could melt and leak causing a re.
•
Move the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or where the
hose may be subjected to accidental damage.
