RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION!

The products described in this manual are propane direct-red, forced air heaters. Propane forced air heaters are primarily intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Direct-red means that all of the combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combustion efciency, but does produce small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in accordance with the instructions in this manual can result in death.

People with breathing problems should consult a physician before using this heater.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u. Symptoms of improper ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:
