SAFETY INFORMATION

RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION!

The products described in this manual are propane direct-fired heaters. Direct-fired means that all of the combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, 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. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:

Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth

Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes

If you experience any of these symptoms: GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include: pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems, anemia or those under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.

FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary heating of adequately ventilated buildings or structures under construction, alteration or repair! Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every 100,000 Btu / Hr heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on page 11 for further instructions.

WHAT TO DO IF THE SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT:

– DO NOT attempt to light the heater. – Extinguish any open flame. – Shut off gas to heater. – If odor continues, contact your local gas

supplier or fire 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 fire department.

– Service must be done by a qualified service

agency.

Connecting Heater to LP Cylinder:

Be sure to read and understand all of the Safety Information in this manual before connecting the heater to the LP cylinder. Installation must conform to local codes and with the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gasses and ANSI/NFPA

58.

Inspect the hose and regulator 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.

Model REM-16-TTC-B:

1. Be sure that the control knob on the regulator is in the “OFF” position.

2. Line up the threads on the fuel connector nut with the threads on the LP cylinder valve. Turn fuel connector nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE to tighten. Fully tighten the nut, being careful not to over tighten.

3. Slowly open the LP cylinder valve.

– To have far left burner face back, the plane

washer should be to the left side of tank collar bracket (see Figure 3).

Models REM-32-TTC-B / REM-47-TTC-B:

1. Be sure that the control knob on the regulator is in the “OFF” position.

2. Line up the slots in the tank collar bracket with the tank collar ring and slide into place. Be sure the mounting knob is to the outside, and tighten.

3. Line up the threads on the fuel connector nut with the threads on the LP cylinder valve. Turn fuel connector nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE to tighten. Fully tighten the nut, being careful not to over tighten.

4. Slowly open the LP cylinder valve.

Check all connections for leaks using a 50/50 mixture of dish-soap and water. Any bubbles that appear show a leak. Remove and reconnect the Connector Nut to the valve.

DO NOT direct the heater discharge towards any propane

cylinder located within 20 feet of the heater.

Propane Supply / Information:

CAUTION

OPERATION

Propane (LP)

This heater is not supplied with a propane cylinder. Use only an approved propane cylinder.

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 modifications 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 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 Inlets Connections.

– A safety relief valve having direct

communications with the vapor space of the LP cylinder.

– The heater must operate on vapor withdrawal

from the operating cylinder.

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 fittings must be protected when

disconnected from the LP cylinder. – Never store an LP cylinder inside a building or

in the vicinity of a gas burning appliances.

The disconnected tank must never be stored in a building,

garage or any other enclosed area.
