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
outdoors 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
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
cylinder valve.
• Heater must be in an upright position during operation.
IMPORTANT: The heater must not be exposed to flam-
mable vapors or liquids during lighting.
1. Make sure four-position Control Knob is in "OFF" posi-
tion; see Figure 1, at left.
2. 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
supply cylinder valve. Tighten all hose connections. DO
NOT use thread sealant on any of these connections.
3. 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.
4. Open valve at LP-gas supply cylinder.
5. 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!
6. Turn Control Knob counterclockwise to "PILOT" position
and depress to light; see Figure 3. This may take longer
to purge air from the supply hose depending on the
length of the hose being used.
7. If pilot does not light, hold down for approximately 30
seconds; release and depress again. Repeat until pilot
lights.
8. After pilot lights, hold down for 30 -60 seconds and
then release knob. Knob should return to fully extend-
ed position; see Figure 4. The pilot should remain lit.
9. To operate heater slightly depress knob and gently turn
to lock in the "HI" position to light burner tile. Leave on
"HI" position until burner tile turns bright orange.

10. 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 levles 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
"PILOT". NEVER SET CONTROL KNOB BETWEEN LOCKED
POSITIONS. POOR COMBUSTION AND HIGHER LEVELS
OF CARBON MONOXIDE MAY RESULT.
•
To shut off heater, shut off propane at supply tank,
allow heater to use-up propane in supply line un-
til heater shuts of f, then slightly push down and
turn Control Knob clockwise to "OFF" position.

CAUTION: After turning heater off, wire guard will
remain hot. Allow to thoroughly cool before storing.
•
When not in use, the gas must be turned off at the
LP-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.
•
Indoor storage of the heater is permissible only if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the heater.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.

MAINTENANCE:

Always keep the heater area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Keep the vent areas (slots in the bottom and the top at the
front and rear of heater) clear at all times.
Visually inspect the
pilot flame and
burner periodically
during use. The
pilot flame should
be blue in color
(not yellow) and
will extend beyond
the thermocouple.
The flame will sur-
round the thermo-
