Propane (LP) Supply
You must provide the propane gas and cylinder(s). Use this heater only
with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. Refer to Chapter 5 of
the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas ,
ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department will have this book-
let.
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 odorant
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 LP gas only. DO NOT attempt to
convert to any other gas. Such modifications are dangerous, and will
void 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 (LP) 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 amount of LPG used with this heater varies. Both factors are:
1. The amount of gas in the cylinder of LPG.
2. The temperature of the LP tank and its surroundings.
OPERATING
• Do not use a flame to check for leaks! Use a 50/50 solution of dish soap
and water to check for leaks. Repair any leaks before attempting to re-
light the heater.
• Check the “O” ring on the heater inlet fuel connector for damage before
each use. Replace if damaged or worn.
• Always store the LP cylinder outdoors, but not in an enclosed area. Never
store the LP cylinder near high heat, direct sunlight or open flames. Nev-
er store the LP cylinder indoors.
• Do not direct heater discharge towards any propane cylinder located
within 20 feet of the heater.
• The heater, other than a heater with an integral propane gas container,
must be located at least: (i) 6 ft. (1.83 m) in the U.S.; or (ii) 10 ft. (3 m) in
Canada, from any propane gas container.
