The heater is designed and approved for use as a construction heater
under ANSI Z83.7•CGA Z.14-2000 Construction Heater. Certain
standards govern the use of fuel gases and heating products for
specific uses. Your local authority can advise you about these. The
primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide temporary
heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Prop-
erly 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 fire safety authority if you have questions
about heater use.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Some people are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poison-
ing 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 ventilation and have heater serviced.

detect a natural gas leak. However, the odor may fade. Natural gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
