valve connector for damage before each use. Replace if
damaged.
• Check the heater thoroughly for damage. Do not operate a
damaged heater.
• Do not modify the heater or operate a heater which has been
modified from its original condition.
• Before each use, check heater for leaks. Never use an open
flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and
water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all
leaks at once.
• Locate propane tank on a stable and level surface. The
heater burner must be at least 24 in. (0.61 m) above the floor.
Always attach heater to propane tank in an upright position.
Never operate heater on its side or attach to propane tank in
a horizontal position. This could lead to dangerous flare-ups
or fire.
• Keep children and animals away from heater.
• Keep propane tank at least 6 m (20 ft) from any radiant
heater.
• Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults
and children must observe clearances to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
• Do not use heater below ground level. Propane is heavier
than air. If a leak occurs, propane gas will sink to the lowest
possible level. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, shut off the
propane tank valve at once and ventilate the area. Do not
strike a match or create any flame or electric spark. Find and
correct the leak before attempting to light any appliance. If
you cannot correct leak, do not tamper with heater. Return
heater to nearest authorized service center or to address on
back page of this manual.
• Do not move or handle a hot or operating heater. Do not
attach or remove a hot or operating heater from the propane
tank. Severe burns may result.
• Storage of heater is permissible only if the propane tank is
disconnected and removed from heater.
• Always remove heater from propane tank after each use.
Always store propane tank outdoors in a well ventilated space
out of the reach of children. Never store propane tank in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Never store
propane tank near high heat, open flame, or where
temperatures exceed 100° F (38° C).
• Use only in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the Standard for the Storage and Handling
of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
• The primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide
temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration
or repair.
• Inspect heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly
by a qualified service person.
• If the heater is stored indoors, remove the heater from the
propane tank and follow the Standard for the Storage and
Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and
CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
