The primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration, or repair. Properly used, the heater provides safe economical heating. Products of com bustion are vented into the area being heated.

IMPORTANT: Read this User's Manual carefully and completely before attempting to operate, assemble, or service this heater. Improper use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from fire,explosion and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Every possible circumstance that may involve a hazard cannot be anticipated. The warnings in this manual and attached to the unit are therefore not all-inclusive. If a procedure, work method or operating technique not specifically recommended by Pinnacle is used, you must be sure it is safe for you and others. You should also insure that equipment will not be damaged or made unsafe by the operating or maintenance method you choose.

If the information in this manual is

not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

- WHAT TO DO IF THE SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT:

- DO NOT attempt to light heater.

- Extinguish any open flame.

- Shut off gas to heater.

- If odor continues, contact your local gas supplier or

fire department.

- Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone. Follow the gas suppliers instructions.

- If you can not reach your gas supplier, call the fire

department.

- Service must be done by a qualified service agency

or the gas supplier.

This is an unvented portable heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the area in which it is used. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided. Refer to VENTILATION on Page 5.

NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTEND-

ED WHILE BURNING, OR WHILE

CONNECTED TO A FUEL SOURCE

This is a direct-fired, forced-air construc tion heater for either indoor or outdoor use. It's intended use is primarily for the temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. All of the products of combustion generated by this heater are forced through the heater and released into the area being heated. This heater operates at approx imately 98%+ combustion efficiency, but still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide for short periods. Carbon monoxide can build up in a heated space, and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in poisoning or death.

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.

- Children should be kept away.

- Always maintain proper clearance from combustible materials.

Minimum clearance should be:

MH-80V-LPC MH-200V-LPC Top 8 feet 8 feet Sides 4 feet 4 feet

- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

- An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

- Heater must be placed on level and solid footing.

- Never place anything, including clothes or other flammable items on heater.

- Do not modify heater, or operate a heater that has been modified.

- Adequate clearance for accessibility, combustion and ventilation (air supply) must be maintained at all times when heater is operating.

- Service and repair should be performed by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qualified person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. Do not service heater while hot or operating.

WARNING

Due to very high surface temperatures, it is important to keep children, furniture

- Never connect heater to an unregulated gas supply.

- To prevent injury, always wear gloves when handling heater. Never handle an operating or hot heater, as severe burns may result.

- Use heater in accordance with all local codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to The National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1.

- This heater is shipped from the factory for use with LP (propane) gas only. Do not convert to any other gas. Installation must conform to local codes, or in their absence, with the standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code 149.1.

- Use only the regulator and hose assembly provided with this heater. Inspect the regulator/hose assembly prior to each use of the heater. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, replace it with the proper assembly shown in the parts list, prior to using the heater.

WARNING

LP Characteristics:

- Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and pools in low areas.

- In its natural state, propane has no odor, but for your safety an odorant that smells like rotten cabbage has been added.

- Contact of propane (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 warranty.

- When heater is not in use, LP cylinder must be turned OFF

- Be sure that the LP cylinder is located on a level and stable surface.

- Do not use this heater in a basement or below ground level. Propane (LP) is heavier than air, and will always seek the lowest level. If you suspect a leak, shut off the valve at the LP cylinder immediately.

The Propane (LP) cylinder must also be equipped with the following:

- A collar to protect the gas valve.

- A shut-off valve terminating a LP cylinder valve outlet as specified in the American National Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlets and Inlet Connections.

- A safety relief valve having direct communications with the vapor space of the LP cylinder.

- An arrangement of vapor withdrawal.

The amount of LPG used with this heater varies. Both factors are:

1. The amount of gas in the cylinder of LPG.

2. The temperature of the LP tank and its surroundings.

been thoroughly trained in accepted LP gas industry procedures. Failure to follow these instructions may result in ex plosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.

- To connect hose and regulator assembly, rotate fitting on hose/regulator COUNTERCLOCKWISE into threads on tank valve (see Figure 5). Be sure to tighten firmly. Important: Be sure to position the regulator so that the regulator is horizontal, also as shown in Figure 5.

- To connect to heater inlet, rotate clockwise and tighten firmly with a wrench

Purging and filling of LP cylinders must be performed by personnel who have

WARNING

section of this manual.

Review and understand all of the warnings in the Safety Information

NOTE: Once the gas connection has been made, air may be

trapped in the gas line. Before lighting the heater it will be necessary to purge any air trapped in the line. Once this is done the heater will light and operate normally. Purging the gas line will be necessary every time the gas cylinder is replaced.

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

- To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution of dish soap and water. Apply this solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas supply, and re-connect the leaking connection. If the leak persists after several tries, contact Pinnacle Customer Service at 215891-8460.

- The installation of this heater must meet all local codes and/or gas utility requirements. In the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed.

- The minimum clearances to any combustible construction materials must be maintained at all times (See Page 3).
