manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper
operation of this heater.
• For outdoor use only. Do not use inside house, camper, tent,
vehicle, or any type of unvented or enclosed area.
• Area must be well ventilated. Provide minimum openings of
1 sq ft (.093 m²) near the floor and 1 sq ft. (.093 m²) near the
ceiling. Do not use inside house, camper, tent, vehicle, or any
type of unvented or enclosed area.
• Maintain minimum clearance from normal combustible
materials (like paper) as follows: Sides - 3 ft. (.91m); Top and
Front - 5 ft. (1.5m). Locate 10 ft. (3m) from canvas or plastic
tarpaulins or similar coverings and secure them to prevent
flapping or movement due to wind action.
• Use heater in areas free from open ames, combustible
vapors, and dust.
• Do not expose to wind.
• Never operate heater while sleeping or unattended.

damaged.
• Check the heater thoroughly for damage. Do not operate a
damaged heater.
• Do not modify the heater or operate a heater which has been
modified from its original condition.
