OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
This is a Natural Gas, direct-fired, convection heater. It's intended
use is primarily temporary heating of buildings under construction,
alteration or repair.
If natural gas leaks from a connection or fitting, it can mix with
the surrounding air, forming a potentially explosive mixture.
Obviously, natural gas leaks should be avoided, so set up the
fuel supply with utmost care. Leak check new connections or
re-connections with a soap and water solution and follow all
connection instructions herein. Also, ask your natural gas dealer
for advice on the application and supply installation and ask them
to check it if there are any questions.
This heater was designed and certified for use as a construction
heater in accordance with ANSI Standard Z83.7/CGA 2.14-
2011. Check with your local fire safety authority if you have
any questions about your applications. Other standards govern
the use of fuel gases and heat producing products in specific
applications. Your local authority can advise you about these.
Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the
heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100
percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. We can
tolerate small amounts but not a lot. CO can build up in a heated
space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
death. The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
• headache
• dizziness
• burning eyes and nose
• nausea
• dry mouth or sore throat
So, be sure to follow advice about ventilation in these operating
instructions.
When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other
people the user is responsible for properly acquainting those
present with the safety precautions and instructions, and of
the hazards involved.
9. Maintain minimum clearance from normal combustible
material (like paper). Figure 2.
10. Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults
and children must observe clearances to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
11. Operate only on a stable, level surface.
12. Do not use with duct work. Do not restrict inlet or exit.
13. Do not move, handle or service while hot or burning.
14. Use only in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the Standard for the Storage
and Handling of Liqueed Petroleum Gases ANSI/
NFPA 58 and CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code.
Figure 2
MINIMUM CLEARANCE: From normal combustible material
HS100CVNG
Clearance Convection
From sides ..................................................4 ft
From top ....................................................6 ft
Locate 10' from canvas or plastic tarpaulins or similar coverings
and secure them to prevent flapping or movement due to wind
action.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Check the heater thoroughly for damage. DO NOT
operate a damaged heater.
2. DO NOT modify the heater or operate a heater which has
been modied from its original condition.
3. DO NOT light or operate heater unless the shells are fully
extended and locked into position.
4. Use only natural gas.
5. IMPORTANT Use only the regulator assembly provided
with the heater. Inspect regulator assembly before each
use of the heater. If there is excessive abrasion or wear,
or hose is cut, replace with hose assembly listed on parts
list before using heater.
6. For indoor or outdoor use. Adequate ventilation must be
provided Figure 1. (Also see "Operating Precautions").
7. If at any time gas odor is detected, IMMEDIATELY
DISCONTINUE operation until the source of gas has
been located and corrected.
8. Install the heater such that it is not directly exposed to
water spray, rain and/or dripping water.

ODOR FADE WARNING
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard
• Do not use this heater for heating human living
quarters.
• Do not use in unventilated areas.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must
not be obstructed.
• Proper ventilation air must be provided to
support the combustion air requirements of the
heater being used.
• Refer to the specification section of the heater’s
manual, heater data plate, or contact the factory
to determine combustion air ventilation
requirements of the heater.
• Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to
improper combustion.
• Improper combustion can lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning leading to serious injury or
death. Symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning
can include headaches dizziness and difficulty in
breathing
FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have man‑made odorants added
specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks. If a gas leak
occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. ANY
GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE
ACTION!
• Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas.
Do not operate any electrical switches. Do not pull any
power supply or extension cords. Do not light matches
or any other source of flame. Do not use your telephone.
• Get everyone out of the building and away from the
area immediately.
• Close the main fuel supply valve located at the natural
gas meter.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas supplier
and your fire department. Do not re-enter the building or
area.
• Stay out of the building and away from the area until
declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas
supplier.
• FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the
firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out
the building and area before you return. Properly trained
service people must repair any leaks, check for further
leakages, and then relight the appliance for you.
natural gas. Local propane (LP) gas dealers will be more
than happy to give you a scratch and sniff pamphlet. Use
it to become familiar with the fuel gas odor.
• Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around
an odor for a period of time can affect your sensitivity
to that particular odor. Odors present in animal
confinement buildings can mask fuel gas odor.
• The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas
is colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade
under some circumstances.
• If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas
through the soil can filter the odorant.
• Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you
continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small,
treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as
discussed previously.
ATTENTION ‑ CRITICAL POINTS TO
REMEMBER!
• Natural gas has a distinctive odor. Learn to recognize
these odors. (Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor Fading
sections above.
• Even If you are not properly trained in the service and
repair of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously aware of
the odors of propane (LP) gas and natural gas.
• If you have not been properly trained in repair and
service of Natural gas then do not attempt to light
heater, perform service or repairs, or make any
adjustments to the heater on the natural gas fuel
system.
• A periodic sniff test around the heater or at the heater’s
joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a good safety
practice under any conditions. If you smell even a small
amount of gas, CONTACT YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER
IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT!
ODOR FADING ‑ NO ODOR DETECTED
• Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot
smell the odor of the man-made chemical added to
propane (LP) or natural gas. You must determine if you
can smell the odorant in these fuel gases.
• Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas and
