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.

Not for

home or recreational vehicle use.

The heater is designed and approved for use as a Z83.7. The primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair, and to provide temporary emergency heat. 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 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.

General Safety Information

IMPORTANT: Make certain you read

and understand all warnings. Keep these instructions for reference. They are your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

Safety information appears throughout these instructions. Pay close attention to them. Below are definitions for the safety information listed throughout this manual.

Under this heading,

installation, operating, and maintenance procedures or practices will be found that, if not carefully followed, WILL result in IMMEDIATE serious personal injury or death.

Under this head-

ing, installation, operating, and maintenance procedures or practices will be found that, if not carefully followed, COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

Under this heading,

installation, operating, and maintenance procedures or practices will be found that, if not carefully followed, COULD result in minor personal injury, product or property damage.

IMPORT ANT: Not eve r y possible circumstance that might involve a hazard can be anticipated. The warnings in this manual and on tags or decals affixed to the unit are therefore not all-inclusive. If a procedure, work method, or operating technique not specifically recommended by Dayton is used, you must make sure it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that equipment will not be damaged or made unsafe by the operating or maintenance method you choose.

Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death! 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. 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 can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.

• For indoor use only. Provide

adequate ventilation.

• Use only in well-vented areas. Before

using heater, Provide at least a onesquare-foot opening of fresh, outside air. This heater produces carbon monoxide, which is listed by the State of California as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65.

• Do not use heater outdoors or in

occupied dwellings.

• Do not use heater in living or

sleeping quarters.

• Keep appliance area clear and free

from combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner , and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in areas with high dust content.

• Keep heater away from strong drafts,

water spray, rain, or dripping water.

• Install and use heater with care.

Follow all local ordinances and codes. In the absence of local ordinances and codes, refer to Standard for Storage and Handling Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANS/NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2. This instructs on the safe storage and handling of propane gases.

• Check heater for damage before each use. Do not use a damaged heater.

• Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Keep propane tank(s) below 100° F.

• The electrical connections and grounding of the heater shall follow the National Electric Code, ANS/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, part

• Do not use heater below ground level. Propane gas is heavier than air. If a leak occurs, propane gas will sink to the lowest possible level.

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

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

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

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

• Inspect hose before each use of heater. If highly worn or cut, replace before using heater. Use the replacement hose assembly specified in this manual.

• Keep heater at least six feet from propane tank(s). Do not point heater at propane tank(s) within 20 feet.

• Minimum heater clearances from combustibles:

Outlet: 6 Ft. Sides: 2 Ft. Top: 6 Ft. Rear: 2 Ft.

• Locate heater on stable and level surface if heater is hot or running.

• Keep children and animals away from heater.

• Turn off propane supply and unplug heater when not in use.

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.

Propane Supply

Propane gas and propane tank(s) must be provided.

Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage

and Handling of Liqueﬁed Petroleum Gas, ANS/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 propane gas in tank(s)

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

a minimum 20-pound propane tank. You may need two or more tanks or one larger tank in colder weather. Use a 100-pound 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).
