PURGING AND FILLING OF LP GAS TANKS MUST BE PERFORMED
BY PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN
ACCEPTED LP GAS INDUSTRY PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN EXPLOSION, FIRE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
WARNING
PROPANE SAFETY
Propane is safe to use when properly handled. Careless handling of the Propane gas tank could result in
fire and/or an explosion. Therefore:
• Always keep tank/cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Avoid tipping tank on its side when connected to a regulator since this may cause damage to
diaphragm in regulator.
• Handle valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated Propane tank to construction heater.
• Do not subject Propane tank to excessive heat.
• Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the Propane tank after each use.
• The POL fitting must be protected when disconnected from the propane tank.
• Never store a Propane gas tank inside a building or in the vicinity of any gas burning appliance.
THE DISCONNECTED TANK MUST NEVER BE STORED IN A BUILDING,
GARAGE OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
Check all gas connections with a soap solution to be sure they are tight and leak proof. Soap bubbles indicate
gas leakage that must be corrected.
• The installation of your heater must meet all local codes and/or gas utility requirements or, in the absence of
local codes, with the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural
and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
• Do not use a match or flame to check for gas leaks.
• The hose assembly should be visually inspected prior to each use of the heater. If it is evident that there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater being put into operation.
• The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer (See page 17 for part numbers).
