POISONING MAY

The products described in this manual are
propane direct-fired, forced air heaters. Propane
forced air heaters are primarily intended for
use for temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired
means that all of the combustion products of the
heater enter the heated space. This appliance
is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but does
produce small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation
in accordance with the instructions in this manual
can result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a
physician before using this heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper
ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth
Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE!
Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. These include: pregnant women,
those with heart or lung problems, anemia or those
under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE
PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary
heating of adequately ventilated buildings or
structures under construction, alteration or
repair! Provide at least a three square foot
(2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for
every 100,000 Btu / Hr heater rating. Refer to
“Ventilation” on page 8 for further instructions.
