WARNING:
Certain materials or items, when stored under

and could be seriously damaged.
WARNING:
•
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 heavier than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level
possible. It can ignite by ignition sources
including 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.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance
with local ordinances and codes or with
ans/nfpa 58. Turn off propane when not in
use.
