buildings under construction, alteration or re-
pair. Properly used, the heater provides safe
economical heating. Products of combustion
are vented into the area being heated.
We cannot foresee every use which may be
made of our heaters. Check with your local

about heater use.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases
and heat producing products for specific uses.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Check for proper ven-
tilation and have heater serviced.
WARNINGS
Propane Gas:
Propane gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to propane gas.
The odor helps you detect a propane gas leak.
However, the odor added to propane gas can
fade. Propane gas may be present even though
no odor exists.

warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is
