Convection Heater User’s Manual

Safety Information (continued)

This is a direct-fired, forced-air construc tion heater for either
indoor or outdoor use. It's intended use is primarily for the 
temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or
repair. All of the products of combustion generated by this heater
are forced through the heater and released into the area being
heated. This heater operates at approx imately 98%+ combustion
efficiency, but still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide for short
periods. Carbon monoxide can build up in a heated space, and
failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in poisoning or
death.

You must provide the propane gas and cylinder(s). Use this
heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system.
Refer to Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas , ANSI/NFPA 58.   Your local library or
fire department will have this booklet.
