any other enclosed area.

buildings.

Do NOT use this outdoor gas light for indoor heating. TOXIC carbon monoxide fumes

can accumulate and cause asphyxiation.

This outdoor gas light is NOT for commercial use.

This outdoor gas light is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to

areas.

c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is added that

smells like rotten cabbage.

d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.

LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be used.

a. The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the

Specifications for LP gas LP gas tanks of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, LP gas tanks, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
