Conversion:

1. Reconnect the gas hose to the brooder, tightening it securely.

2. Ensure proper hanging conﬁguration. See the back of this instruction sheet.

3. Open the fuel supply valve and leak check using approved leak detectors.

4. Light the brooders and check for proper operation.

5. Set the second stage regulator to ensure proper gas supply pressure to all heaters in the zone. Check pres-

sure at maximum and minimum heat output. Refer to Clearance and Data Plate disk on brooder or to zone

panel.

6. When steps 1 – 5 are complete, set the temperature control on the zone panel or on individual control brood-

ers to desired setting.

7. Keep these instructions for future use.

ATTENTION:

• Ensure the brooder is hung so its control is positioned 10 to 50 down from horizontal after the gas supply hose

is attached. This allows proper venting of the brooder and prevents potential heat damage to the ﬁlter.

• Repositioning of the hanging brackets key ring may be required to achieve proper hanging position.
