LIGHTING / OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH HOSE
CONNECTED TO A REMOTE CYLINDER,
MAXIMUM SIZE 20 LBS:
• This Heater may be used with a remote refillable
propane cylinder ONLY when the cylinder is located out-
doors and the Heater is used with Mr. Heater Hose No.
F273701, F273702 or F272702 and fuel filter F273699.
Fuel filter must be replaced annually. (NOTE: Do not
operate without the fuel filter as fuel contamination
may damage the heater.) Or use green F273704 Buddy
series hose. Fuel filter not required.
• DANGER: NEVER bring a refillable propane cylinder
indoors. A fire or explosion can occur causing property
damage, serious injury or death!
• Inspect the hose before each use of the heater. If there
is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, replace
prior to using the heater with one of the Mr. Heater
Hose No’s. shown above.
• The propane cylinder must include a listed overfilling
protection device as well as a collar to protect the cylin-
der valve.
• Heater must be in an upright position during operation.
• Make sure four-position Control Knob is in “OFF” posi-
tion; see Figure 1, at left.
• Swivel regulator outward for easy hose installation.
Screw hose connector into regulator on heater and
screw connector on other end of hose into LP-gas sup-
ply cylinder valve. Tighten all hose connections. DO NOT
use thread sealant on any of these connections.
• Mr. Heater strongly recommends using disposable fuel
filter F273699 to trap any oil substances when connect-
ed to a remote cylinder that can make heater inoper-
able.
• Open valve at LP-gas supply cylinder.
• Check all hose connections for leaks with soapy water
at the threaded connection under the domed plastic
cover where the hose connector screws into the regula-
tor and at LP-gas supply cylinder. SEE WARNING!
• Turn Control Knob counterclockwise to “PILOT” posi-
tion and depress the pulse light button located in the
accessory compartment. This may take longer to purge
air from the supply hose depending on the length of the
hose being used.
• If pilot does not light, hold down the pilot button for
approximately 30 seconds and depress pulse light but-
ton again. Repeat until pilot lights.
• After pilot lights, hold down for 30 -60 seconds and
then release knob. Knob should return to fully extended
position. (Fig 4) The pilot should remain lit. To operate
heater slightly depress knob and gently turn to lock in
the “HI” position to light burner tile. Leave on “HI” posi-
tion until burner tile turns bright orange.
• After burner tile has turned bright orange, adjust heat
output by turning Control Knob to desired position
(“LO” or “HI” setting)
Caution: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using
the propane tank shut off valve.
Warning:
DO NOT OPERATE HEATER UNLESS CONTROL KNOB
IS LOCKED IN A POSITION MARKED “HI”, “LO” OR “PI-
LOT”. NEVER SET CONTROL KNOB BETWEEN LOCKED
POSITIONS. POOR COMBUSTION AND HIGHER LEVELS
OF CARBON MONOXIDE MAY RESULT.

gas supply cylinder. As stated before allow heater to use
up propane in supply line until heater shuts off. When
the LP-gas supply cylinder is not disconnected from
the heater, the heater and the cylinder must be stored
outdoors, in a well ventilated space, out of reach of
children, and must not be stored in a building, garage
or any other enclosed area.
