• Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials,

paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the heater

as recommended by the instructions.

• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into

the combustion chamber.

• 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.

• 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

WARNING

DANGER

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This 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.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like

symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and

possibly death. You can't see it and you can't smell it. It's

an invisible killer. If these symptoms are present during

operation of this product get fresh air immediately!

• For outdoor use only .

• Never use inside house, or other unventilated or

enclosed areas.

• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in

unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering

your life.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our

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.

If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to local

codes. If no local codes exist, follow the current National

standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.

WARNING

WARNING

• 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 ignite by ignition

sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames

ofanykindmanyfeetawayfromtheoriginalleak.Useonly

propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with

local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off

propane when not in use.

DANGER

• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot

lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where

temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

• Propane vapors are heavier than air and canaccumulate

in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.

• Never install or remove propane cylinder while heater is

lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or

while heater is hot to touch.

• This heater is red hot during use and can ignite

flammables too close to the burner. Keep flammables at

least 3 feet from sides & 2 feet from top. Keep gasoline and

other flammable liquids and vapors well away from heater.

• The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a

well ventilated space out of reach of children.Never store

propane cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.).

If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane

cylinder for outdoor storage.
