GENERAL HAZARD WARNING:
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS HEATER CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
AND PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM HAZARDS OF FIRE, EXPLOSION,
BURN, ASPHYXIATION, AND/OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
ONLY PERSONS WHO CAN UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD USE OR SERVICE THIS HEATER.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE OR HEATER INFORMATION SUCH AS AN
INSTRUCTION MANUAL OR LABELS, CONTACT THE COLEMAN CO., INC.
WARNING: FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLOSION HAZARD.
KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER
OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER USE THE HEATER IN
SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT
THINNER, DUST PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS.
WARNING
NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL USE.
We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our heaters. Check with your local fire
safety authority if you have questions about heater use.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for specific uses.
Your local authorities can advise you about these.
This indoor construction heater should not be used in areas directly exposed to water spray,
rain, and/or dripping water.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:
This construction heater is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to
produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in
accordance with all warnings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the
heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning may resemble the flu with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If these symptoms are present during operation of this product
get fresh air immediately!

Make sure adequate ventilation is provided. Provide a fresh outside air opening at
least six (6) square feet or its equivalent, i.e., 2' x 3' for each heating unit. DO NOT USE
THIS HEATER IN LIVING QUARTERS OR WHILE SLEEPING! California lists
carbon monoxide as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65.
PROPANE GAS:
This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and
flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a
“rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable
by smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level
possible. It can be ignited by ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open
flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for
vapor withdrawal.
Propane gas should be stored and used in compliance with local ordinances and
codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
FIRE/EXPLOSION:
During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Keep heater area clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in areas with high dust content. Minimum
heater clearances from combustible materials: four (4) feet from the sides and six (6) feet
from the top. Keep heater at least six (6) feet away from propane tanks and keep propane
hoses away from outlet opening of the heater.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION:
• Never alter or modify heater, propane hose/regulator assembly or propane cylinders.
Do not attach duct work of any kind to this heater.
• Always inspect heater, propane hoses and propane cylinders before use. Do not use
if leaking propane or if damaged. Replace hoses that have excessive wear, abrasion
or cuts. Use only Coleman repair parts and Coleman propane hoses and regulator
assemblies.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Heater will remain hot up to thirty (30) minutes after being turned off.
• Operate heater only on level, stable surface.

PRODUCT
IDENTIFICATION
1. Remove all packing items applied to heater for shipment. Keep plastic cover caps
(attached to inlet connection and hose/regulator assembly) for storage.
2. Remove all items from carton.
3. Check all items for shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer
from whom you bought heater.
The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas supply. This
provides fuel to the heater.
The Ignition System: The piezo ignitor lights the pilot fuel supply.
The Automatic Control System: The automatic valve shuts off the heater if the flame
goes out.

PROPANE
SUPPLY
You must provide propane gas and propane tank(s).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the
Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58. Your
local library or fire department will have this booklet.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors decide
this amount.
1. The amount of liquid propane gas in tank(s).
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the minimum number of 100-pound tanks needed to run the heater
at the temperature indicated for at least 10 hours. Connect tanks together with a manifold.
Do not operate this product with any tank smaller than 100 pounds. Reduced performance will result.

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. Two or more 100-pound tanks or one larger
tank may be needed in colder weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select
the proper supply system.
WARNING
Provide at least a six square foot opening of fresh outside air while running
heater. If proper outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper outside air ventilation before running heater.

PREPARATION
WARNING
Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after preparation or servicing.
Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap
and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks before
using product.

4. Open valve on propane tank(s) slowly.
5. Check all connections for leaks. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak that must be corrected before using heater.
6. Close propane supply valve.
3. Connect POL fitting on hose/regulator assembly to propane tank(s). Turn POL fitting
counterclockwise into threads on tank. Tighten firmly.
IMPORTANT: Tighten regulator with vent pointing down. Pointing vent down protects
regulator from weather damage.
