Convection Heater User's Manual

Safety Information

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.

neighbors phone. Follow the gas suppliers 

instructions.
