SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER

WARNING

DANGER

• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

• 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 areas with high dust content. Minimum heater clearances from combustible materials: three (3) feet from the sides & two (2) feet from the top.

• 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 can accumulate 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.

• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated space out of reach of children. Never store the propane cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder for outdoor storage.

• 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 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. If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code, ANS 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.

DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed space can kill you. Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent or home.

WARNING

SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION

WARNING

California Proposition 65 Combustion by-products produced when using this product contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

BURN HAZARD

• Never leave heater unattended when hot or in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

Certain materials or items, when stored under the heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be seriously damaged.

SERVICE SAFETY

• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.

• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never use a flame.

• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any way or use with any device.

CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property damage.

• 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 of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANS/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.

• Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to avoid burning skin or igniting clothing.

• Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity of the heater.

• Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials from the heater, or place on or near the heater.

• Replace any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.

• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before use and annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageway of the appliance be kept clean.
