If aa ggas lleak ooccurs, yyou sshould bbe aable tto ssmell tthe ffuel ggas.

THAT’S YYOUR SSIGNAL TTO GGO IINTO IIMMEDIATE AACTION!

■ 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 all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supply

valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the meter if you use natural gas.

■ Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in

low areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane leak, keep out of all low areas.

■ Natural gas is lighter than air and can collect around

rafters or ceilings.

■ 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.

■

FI NALLY ,

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 the leak, check for further leakages, and then relight the appliance for you.

WARNING

■ 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

Owner’s Manual, heater dataplate, or contact the

L.B. White Company 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 in humans leading to serious injury or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include headaches, dizziness and difficulty in breathing.

■ Symptoms of improper combustion affecting livestock

can be disease, lower feed conversion, or death.

Asphyxiation HHazard

■

Some ppeople ccannot ssmell wwell. SSome ppeople ccannot smell tthe oodor oof tthe mman-mmade cchemical aadded tto propane ((LP) oor nnatural ggas. YYou mmust ddetermine iif yyou can ssmell tthe oodorant iin tthese ffuel ggases.

■ Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas and

natural gas. Local propane (LP) gas dealers and your local natural gas supplier (utility) 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 oodorant iin ppropane ((LP) ggas aand nnatural ggas iis colorless aand tthe iintensity oof iits oodor ccan ffade uunder some ccircumstances.

■ If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas

through the soil can filter the odorant.

■ Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at different

levels. Since propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels.

■

Always bbe ssensitive tto tthe sslightest ggas oodor.

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.

Safety Precautions

FUEL GAS ODOR

ODOR FADING -- NO ODOR DETECTED

ATTENTION -- CRITICAL POINTS TO REMEMBER!

■ Propane (LP) gas and natural gas have a distinctive

odor. Learn to recognize these odors. (Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor Fading sections above.

■

If you have not been properly trained in repair and service of propane (LP) gas and natural gas fueled heaters, then do not attempt to light heater, perform service or repairs, or make any adjustments to the heater on propane (LP) gas or natural gas fuel system.

■ 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.

■ 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!
