safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. In the United States, follow all safety

codes including the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
(NFGC) NFPA No. 54/ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, refer to the

current edition of the National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas
and

Propane

Installation

Codes

(NSCNGPIC),

CAN/CSA--B149.1 and .2. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.

Have a fire extinguisher available during start--up, adjustment
steps, and service calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol
