LP gas has a man-made odorant added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell the fuel gas.
THAT’S  YOUR  SIGNAL  TO  GO  INTO  IMMEDIATE  ACTION!

Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas.  Do
not operate any electrical switches.  Do not pull any
power supply or extension cords.  Do not light matches

telephone.

Get everyone out of the building and away from the area
immediately.

Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supply
valves.

Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in
low areas.  When you have reason to suspect a propane
leak, keep out of all low areas.  

Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas
supplier and your fire department.  Do not re-enter the
building or area.

Stay out of the building and away from the area until
declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas
supplier.

FINALLY,  let the fuel gas ser vice person and the
firefighters check for escaped gas.  Have them air out
the building and area before you return.  Properly
trained service people must repair the leak, check for
further leakages, and then relight the appliance for you.

WARNING

Do not use this heater for heating human living
quarters.

Do not use in unventilated areas.

The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.

Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the
combustion air requirements of the heater being used.

Refer to the specification section of the heater’s
Owner’s Manual, heater dataplate, or contact the L.B.

White Company to determine combustion air ventilation
requirements of the heater.

Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper
combustion.

Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning in humans leading to serious injury or death.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include
headaches, dizziness and difficulty in breathing.

Symptoms of improper combustion affecting livestock
can be disease, lower feed conversion, or death.

Asphyxiation Hazard

Some people cannot smell well.  Some people cannot
smell the odor of the man-made chemical added to
propane (LP) gas.  You must determine if you can smell
the odorant in this fuel gas.  

Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas.  Local
propane (LP) gas dealers will be more than happy to
give you a “scratch and sniff” pamphlet.  Use it to
become familiar with the fuel gas odor.  

Smoking can decrease your ability to smell.  Being
around an odor for a period of time can affect your
sensitivity to that particular odor.  Odors present in
animal confinement buildings can mask fuel gas odor.

The odorant in propane (LP) gas is colorless and the
i n t e n s i t y   o f   i t s   o d o r   c a n   f a d e   u n d e r   s o m e
circumstances.

If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas
through the soil can filter the odorant.  

Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at different
levels.  Since propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, there
may be more odor at lower levels.

Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you
continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small,
treat it as a serious leak.  Immediately go into action as
discussed previously.

Safety Precautions

FUEL GAS ODOR

ODOR FADING -- NO ODOR DETECTED

ATTENTION -- CRITICAL POINTS TO REMEMBER!

Propane (LP) gas has a distinctive odor.  Learn to
recognize these odors.  (Reference “Fuel Gas Odor” and
“Odor Fading” sections above.

If you have not been properly trained in repair and service
of propane (LP) gas fueled heaters, then do not attempt
to light heater, perform service or repairs, or make any
adjustments to the heater on propane (LP) gas fuel
system.

Even if you are not properly trained in the service and
repair of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously aware of
the odor of propane (LP) gas.

A periodic “sniff test” around the heater or at the
heater’s joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a good
safety practice under any conditions.  If you smell even
a small amount of gas, CONTACT YOUR FUEL GAS
SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY.  DO NOT WAIT!
