- This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An
odorant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a "rotten egg" smell. The
odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not
always detectable by smell alone.

- Propane gas is heaver than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level possible.
It can ignite from matches, lighters, sparks or
open flames of any kind many feet away from
the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for
vapor withdrawal.

compliance with local ordinances and codes or
with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in

use.
