SAFETY INFORMATION

 DANGER

 

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This heater is a combustion appliance. All 

combustion appliances produce carbon monoxide 

(CO) during the combustion process. This product is 

designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous

amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance 

with all warnings and instructions. Do not block air 

flow into or out of the heater.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like

symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue

and possibly death. You can't see it and you can't 

smell it. It's an invisible killer. If these symptoms are 

present during operation of this product get fresh air 

immediately!

• For outdoor use only.

• Never use inside house, or other unventilated or

enclosed areas.

• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in

unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering

your life.

 WARNING

 

 DANGER

 

• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

• Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials,

paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the 

heater as recommended by the instructions.

• Provide adequate clearances around air openings

into the combustion chamber.

• Never use the heater in spaces which do or may 

contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products

such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles

or unknown chemicals.

• During operation, this product can be a source of

ignition. Keep heater area clear and free from 

combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning

solvents and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do 

not use heater in areas with high dust content. 

Minimum heater clearances from combustible 

materials: three (3) feet from the sides & two (2) feet

from the top.

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.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat

producing products for specific uses. Your local 

authorities can advise you about these.

If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code,

ANS Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to

local codes. If no local codes exist, follow the current 

National standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.
