SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: This product
contains and/or generates
chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer or
birth defects or other reproduc
tive harm.

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 prod
ucts such as gasoline, solvents,
paint thinner, dust particles or
unknown chemicals.

WARNING: Not for home or
recreational vehicle use.

The heater is designed for use as a construction
heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7/CGA 2.14.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases
and heating products for specific uses. Your lo
cal authority can advise you about these. The
primary purpose of construction heaters is to
provide temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair. Properly used,
the heater provides safe economical heating.
Products of combustion are vented into the area
being heated.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of
our heaters. Check with your local fire safety au

thority 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.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some people are

more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re­semble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or
nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not
be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Check
for proper ventilation and have heater serviced.

Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor-

making agent is added to propane gas. The odor
helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the
odor added to propane gas may fade. Propane gas
may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warn
ings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

1. Install and use heater with care. Follow all
local ordinances and codes. In the absence
of local ordinances and codes, refer to the

Standard for Storage and Handling of Lique
fied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the
Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA
B149.2. This instructs on the safe storage and

handling of propane gases.

2. Use only the electrical voltage and frequency
specified on model plate.

3. The electrical connections and grounding of
the heater shall follow the National Electric

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical
Code, part 1.

4. Electrical grounding instructions — This appli
ance is equipped with a three-prong (ground
ing) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

5. Use only a three-prong, grounded extension
cord.

6. Use only the hose and factory preset regulator
provided with the heater.

7. Use only propane gas set up for vapor with
drawal.

-

8. Provide adequate ventilation. Before using
heater, provide at least a 1.5 ft
opening of fresh, outside air.

9. For indoor use only. Do not use heater out
doors.

10. Do not use heater in occupied dwellings or in
living or sleeping quarters.

11. Do not use heater below ground level. Pro

-

pane gas is heavier than air. If a leak occurs,
propane gas may sink to the lowest possible
level.

12. Keep appliance area clear and free from com
bustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, and
other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not
use heater in areas with high dust content.

13. Minimum heater clearances from combus
tibles: Outlet: 6 ft (1.8 m), Sides: 2 ft (60 cm),
Top: 6 ft (1.8 m), Rear: 2 ft (60 cm).

Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA
B149.2. 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 propane gas in tank(s)

2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed to operate with a minimum

20 lb (9 kg) propane tank. You may need two or
more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather.
Use a 100 lb (45 kg) tank for longer operation
or in very cold weather. Less gas is vaporized at
lower temperatures. Your local propane gas dealer
will help you select the proper supply system. The
minimum surrounding air temperature rating for
each heater is -20° F (-29° C).

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas supply. This provides fuel

to the heater.

The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around the combustion chamber.

This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.

The Ignition System: The piezo ignitor lights the burner.
The Automatic Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down if the flame goes out.

WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections for leaks after
installation 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 at once.

Supply, page 3).

2. Connect fuel gas fitting on hose/regulator
assembly to propane tank(s). Turn fuel gas
fitting counterclockwise into threads on tank.
Tighten firmly using a wrench. IMPORTANT:
Position regulator so that hose leaving the
regulator is in a horizontal position (see Figure

6). This places the regulator vent in the proper
position to protect it from the weather.

3. Connect hose to valve inlet. Tighten firmly
using a wrench. You must use the regulator
supplied with heater.

outlet. If voltage is good,
check heater power cord for
breaks

2. Adjust motor/fan guard to
keep fan from hitting inside of
heater shell. Bend fan guard if
necessary

3. Replace fan. See

4. Replace motor. See Motor,
page 7

1. Repeat installation and opera

­tion instructions. See Installa
tion and Operation, page 5

ignitor wire location

B) Set gap between ignitor

electrode and target plate to

0.17" (4.3 mm)

C) Tighten nut holding piezo

ignitor to base of heater

D) Replace ignitor electrode.

See Ignitor, page 8
