RISK OF INDOOR AIR
POLLUTION!
The products described in this manual are
propane direct-red heaters. Direct-red means
that all of the combustion products of the heater
enter the heated space. This appliance is rated
at 98% combustion efciency, but does produce
small amounts of carbon monoxide.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
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.
PROPANE IS AN
EXPLOSIVE GAS!
WHAT TO DO IF THE SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT:
–DO NOT attempt to light the heater.
–Extinguish any open ame.
–Shut off gas to heater.
–If odor continues, contact your local gas
supplier or re department.
–DO NOT touch or use any electric switch or
any electric device that can cause a spark.
–Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbors phone. Follow the gas suppliers
instructions.
–If you can not reach your gas supplier, call
the re department.
–Service must be done by a qualied
service agency.

RISK OF BURNS, FIRE AND
EXPLOSION!
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the u. Symptoms of improper
ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea
Sore Throat
• Burning of Nose and Eyes
• Dry Mouth
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater

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 odor 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 propane
gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any
other gas. Such modications are dangerous
and will void the 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 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 amount of Propane (LP) used with this
heater varies. Both factors are
–The amount of gas in the cylinder of LP.
–The temperature of the LP tank and its
surroundings.
Propane is safe to use when
properly handled. Careless
handling of the LP cylinder could result in a
fire and or an explosion.
–Always keep LP cylinder fastened and upright.
–Avoid tipping the LP cylinder on its side when
connected to a regulator, since this may
cause damage to diaphragm in the regulator.
–Handle valves with care.
–Never connect an unregulated LP cylinder to
a construction heater.
–DO NOT subject LP cylinder to excessive heat.
–Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the LP
cylinder after each use.
–All ttings must be protected when
disconnected from the LP cylinder.
–Never store an LP cylinder inside a building or
in the vicinity of an gas burning appliances.
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 specied in the American National
Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve
Outlets and Inlets Connections.
–A safety relief valve having direct
communications with the vapor space of the LP
cylinder.
