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.

NEVER store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this heater.

NEVER store a propane (LP) cylinder not
connected to this heater in the vicinity of this
heater.

– To have all 3 burners face front, the plane

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

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-O:

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-O / REM-47-TTC-O:

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

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.
