Premier Ductable Heater
Owner’s Manual • Premier Ductable Heater

The vaporization of propane is affected by several factors: the surface area of the container, the liquid level of
propane, temperature surrounding the container, and the relative humidity. All of these factors are specific to a
site. Therefore, a degree of experience and judgement is required to select the proper propane supply.
Although experience is the best guide, the following recommendations can be used as a starting point. The table
is based on experience in northern climates where cold weather and high humidity are prevalent in the winter. If
more or less favorable conditions prevail at a specific site, adjustments can be made on the basis of experience.
The Premier 170 is equipped with sliding handles for
convenient “wheel-barrow” style mobility
- Depress the snap-button on the underside of the
sliding handle storage bracket.
- Fully extend both handles until the snap button locks
into place.
- For storage, depress the snap button and push the
handles to fully retracted position.
