Product Usage Instructions
- Determine a suitable location for the post.
- Dig a hole to the required depth for the post and pour a cement
footing. - Place the post into the footing, ensuring it is supported in a
vertical position. Make sure the gas line access hole is pointed in
the correct direction, at the correct depth, and provides enough
space for gas line hook-up. - Dig a trench to the required depth and install the gas line.
Run the included flex line through the post and connect it to the
gas line. It is recommended to cap the flex line and perform a leak
test at this stage. - Backfill the trench and the area around the post to meet local
requirements. - With the gas line shut off, install the Tempest according to
the instructions provided in the Tempest manual. Before attaching
the Tempest head, conduct a leak test on all connections. Turn on
the gas and thoroughly test the operation of the Tempest.
