2. Introduction

Many users have found the advantages of propane heaters far outweigh the small additional running costs, as the fuel is more completely burned and does not leave an oily residue as experienced with paraffin, kerosene or diesel heaters. There is no odour, except for the few seconds during start-up and the units run a little more quietly since they do not need a compressor to drive the fuel to the burner. The heater features a durable paint finish, fan assistance, a piezoelectric ignition system for trouble-free starting, and a direct gas head assembly. It also includes a safety solenoid preventing the unit from leaking gas without first being electrically started. The unit is supplied with an approved propane gas regulator and hose. To run cordless, a compatible 20V battery and mains charger are required, sold separately (e.g., CP20VBP4 (4Ah), CP20VBP6 (6Ah), CP20VMC (Mains Charger)). The product is tested and certified to CE/EN standards and manufactured to BS EN 1596.

4. Installation

NOTE: If a small gas cylinder is used, the heater may not operate at maximum efficiency. It is recommended to use two or more cylinders linked in parallel, to achieve maximum continuous efficiency.

4.1. Connections

1. Check heater and gas cylinder to ensure that they are both in good condition. If not, stop and contact your supplier immediately.
2. Site the heater and gas cylinder in the location to be heated.
3. Connect the heater's mains charger to an electrical supply outlet, ensuring that both units are earthed correctly, or insert the battery.
4. Connect the gas supply hose to the pressure regulator, and connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Note: Left-hand threads are used on these fuel gas fittings.
5. Connect the other end of the gas supply hose to the heater's gas inlet connection (refer to fig.2). Ensure all connections are tight.
6. Gradually open the tap of the gas cylinder. Check hose and all fittings for gas leaks. Close gas tap if gas is present.

WARNING! DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME to check for leaks; we recommend the use of a foamy soap solution.

4.2. Location

Locate the heater such that the rear intake is at least 2.5m from the nearest obstruction, there is at least 2m space on each side, and a minimum of 3.5m of space in front of it (refer to fig.1).

IMPORTANT: To ensure continuous ventilation to the heater area, a ventilation opening must connect to the outside of the premises where the heater is to operate. The opening must be 100cm² for every kW, and must be set at an equal distance from the upper and lower parts of the heater operating area.

Diagram fig.1 Description: Shows recommended safety clearances. Minimum 3.5m in front, minimum 2.0m to the sides, and minimum 2.5m for the rear intake from obstructions.

5. Operation

Diagram fig.3, fig.4, fig.5 Description: Illustrates the heater's controls: On/Off switch, Gas Connection port, Piezo Starter button, Power Socket, Low Power Warning light, and Gas Valve Control.

5.1. Switching the Heater On

1. Switch the On/Off switch (fig.3) to 'On'. Check that the fan is running.
2. With the gas supply on (Section 4.1.6) and the Gas Valve (fig.5) depressed, click the piezo igniter button (fig.4) repeatedly until the gas is heard to ignite.
3. After ignition, keep the gas valve button depressed for at least 10 seconds and then release.
4. The flame should stay lit at this point. If it does not hold, repeat from 5.1.2.

5.2. Switching the Heater Off

1. Close the tap on the gas bottle to isolate the gas supply.
2. Allow the fan to run for at least 30 seconds after the flame has extinguished before switching off.
3. When the heater is not in use, disconnect it from electrical and gas supply and store it in a safe, dry, childproof location.

WARNING! If the flame shuts down during operation, before repeating the ignition sequence, make sure that the fan is not jammed, and the air inlet and outlet are completely free of obstructions. If it is due to overheating, the cause of the problem must be determined and corrected before repeating the ignition procedure.

6. Maintenance

WARNING: Before commencing service or maintenance, disconnect the heater from the electrical and gas supplies and allow to cool fully. Use authorised parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Should the heater require service or maintenance, a suitably qualified engineer should carry this out or contact your local Sealey service agent.

• Check the gas supply hose and gas regulator condition regularly; change if necessary using only original spare parts.
• Clean the heater with a damp cloth; DO NOT use abrasive or solvent or abrasive cleaners.

WARNING: AIR CONTAMINANTS

Air contaminants taken into the heater will damage the unit, cause health problems and safety issues. For example: Body shop filler dust and overspray dust will clog the burner diffuser, contaminate the combustion chamber and damage the internal parts of the heater. If contaminants are present, the heater must be supplied with ducted clean air. Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust or overspray dust will not be covered by warranty. Additionally, a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust or overspray dust.
