IMPORTANT INFORMATION! READ FIRST

The heater is designed for use as a construction heater under ANSI Z83.7a-1993. Heater is not
intended for use in pest remediation.  The primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide
temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration, or repair and to provide emer-
gency heat. Properly used, the heater provides safe, economical heating. Products of combustion
are vented into the area being heated.

The heater 

IS NOT

designed as an Unvented Gas Fired Room Heater under ANSI-Z21.11.2 and

SHOULD NOT

be used in the home.

ANSI A119.2(NFPA 501C)-1987 Recreational Vehicle Standard prohibits the installation or stor-
age of LP-gas containers even temporarily inside any recreational vehicle. The standard also pro-
hibits the use of Unvented Heaters in such vehicles.

NFPA-58 1989 STANDARD FOR THE STORAGE AND 

HANDLING OF LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES

Use of the heater must be in accordance with this Standard and in compliance with all governing
state and local codes. Storage and handling of propane gas and propane cylinders must be in
accordance with NFPA 58 and all local governing codes.

We cannot anticipate every use which may be made for our heaters. 

CHECK WITH YOUR

LOCAL FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT LOCAL REGULATIONS.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products in specific applica-
tions. Your local authority can advise you about these.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN A SPACE WHERE GASOLINE OR OTHER 
LIQUIDS HAVING FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE STORED OR USED.

NEVER USE THE HEATER IN SPACES WHICH ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY SIZED

OR VENTILATED FOR THE HEATER BEING UTILIZED.
