While assembling my patio heater, I am having difficulty connecting the quick connect fitting. What is the problem?
The Control Valve fitting must be held perfectly vertical when attaching the quick connect fitting. If the alignment is not correct you could have a problem securing the fitting. Should you have difficulty, loosen the three screws that hold the engine assembly to the top of the pole. Wiggle the engine assembly while pushing up on the gas pipe assembly from inside the cylinder compartment. If that still does not work, loosen the brass nut that secures the control valve in place, and try again. Be sure to retighten the nut and screws once you successfully make this connection.
