This is a propane, direct-fired heater. Propane
is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a
connection or fitting, it sinks to the floor, col-
lecting there with the surrounding air, forming
a potentially explosive mixture. Obviously,
propane leaks should be avoided, so set up
the propane supply with utmost care. Read
