This Safety Pilot Kit must be Insmllee! by a qualified person. Instructions must be followed carefully when Installing to Insure proper performance and full benefit from your gas log set and a.rely pilot kit. G~NEAAL . These instructions must be used as a supplement to the instructions supplied with your Paterson 9aslog set. Follow the gas log set InstruclJons and make adjustments as appropriate forlhe addition of a safety pilot kit. Use gas pipe sealing compound which Is resistant to all gases or Teflon tape and apply to all male pipe connections. Make sure that all connections are tight. Caution: Do not cover the safety pilot vf1lve with sand or lava granules, it may cause overheating. "1 , ./ 'I , , 11'1' : ~qA L.P. (PROPANE) GAS - The Safety Pilot Kit Is shipped with a Natural Gas orifice Installed unless t~9 Safety Pilot Kit was received in the same box as t~e L.P. burner. To change from Natural to I..P. gllS, remove the pilot gas supply line (Item No.11) at the pilot end. Replace the Natural Gas orifice with the LP. Gas orifice (Item No. 10, Figure 1) contained In the envelope marked 'L.P..GA$". Reattach the pilot gas supply line to the pilot. STEP 1 - CONNECTING THE SAFETY VALVE TO THE BURNER A. Remove the heatshield, knob and handle extension. B. Apply gas pipe compound or teflon tape to the fuel injector/airmixer pipe threads. Be careful not to block the opening of the fuellnjectcr/air mixer. C. Screw the safety valve (Item No.1) to the fuel injector or air mixer on the burner (Figure 2). Be sure that the valve is positioned parallel with the , fireplace floor. " For LEFT-SIDED Installation: A_II, :Make sure the fuel ihjector and burner cap are " 'reversed so the fuel InJector Is on the leflslde of I, the burner and the cap Is on the right. 8.1 Flip the SPK-26 safety valve over so the opening :, is to the right and then mirror the Illustration In : Figure 2. .
