Safety Information
This heater is designed and approved for use as a con­struction heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7-2011/CSA
2.14-2011. Other standards determine the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for specific uses. Check with your local fire safety authority if you have questions about applications. This infrared heater’s intended use is primarily for the temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair.
Infrared-fired means that all of the combustion products enter the heated space. This heater is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and caution should be taken to provide adequate ventilation. Failure to provide adequate ventilation in accordance with this manual could result in death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu.
- The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
*
- If the heater is being used in the presence of others, be sure to inform them of the proper safety precautions, operating procedures and the hazards involved. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These are pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol or at high attitudes.
- Use 20 lb. LP cylinders only.
- Check the heater thoroughly for damage before each use. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.
- DO NOT modify this heater or operate a heater that has been modified from it’s original state. Modifying this heater will void your warranty.
- Keep children and animals away from heater.
- Always set heater on a stable, level surface and use the caster locks to prevent movement of the heater.
- NEVER use heater in occupied dwellings without proper ventilation.
- Operate in a manner that heater will not be exposed directly to rain or dripping water.
- Keep heater area free from combustible materials such as gasoline, paint thinners and other flammable vapors and liquids. Dust is combustible. Do not use heater in areas of high dust concentration.
- ALWAYS maintain proper distance from combustibles.

Safety Information (continued)
- NEVER leave heater unattended.
- Use heater in accordance with all local codes and with CSA 5.90 U.S. (5th Ed.) Infrared Patio Heater.
- In the absence of local codes, refer to the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
- This heater is not for use on finished floors.
Propane Supply / Information
You must provide the propane gas and cylinder(s). Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. Refer to Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas , ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.
- The cylinder must be equipped with a collar to protect the gas valve, an arrangement of vapor withdrawal, a shutoff valve terminating the cylinder valve outlet as specified in the American National Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections, and a safety relief valve in direct contact with the vapor space of the tank.
- Always keep the cylinder in an upright position. Avoid knocking the cylinder over on its side with the hose/ regulator connected, as this can cause damage to the regulator diaphragm.
- Never store a propane(LP) cylinder indoors or in the vicinity of any gas burning appliances.
- Protect the cylinder valve, and handle it with care.
- Be sure that the shut-off valve is closed tightly after each use.
- Be sure to protect the POL fitting from damage when disconnected. Damage to this fitting can lead to leaks.
- Never connect an unregulated cylinder to the heater. Always use the hose and regulator supplied.
- Never use any other hose and regulator.
- Do not subject the cylinder to excessive heat.
LP Characteristics:
- Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and pools in low areas.
- In its natural state, propane has no odor, but for safety an odorant that smells like rotten cabbage is added.
- Contact of LP gas with the skin can cause freeze burns.
- Heater is manufactured for use with LP gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any other gas. Such modifications are dangerous and will void your warranty.
- When heater is not in use, LP supply must be shut OFF.
The amount of LP gas used by this heater varies. The two
factors that will determine this are as follows:
1. The amount of gas in the LP cylinder,
2. The temperature of the LP cylinder and surrounding area.
