SAFETY WARNINGS CONTINUED
WARNING! Risk of indoor air pollution.
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.
DANGER! Carbon monoxide poisoning may
lead to death.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can only
tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, so
precautions must be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation
in accordance with the following instructions
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 and 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
affected by carbon monoxide more 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
temporary heating of adequately ventilated
buildings or structures under construction,
alteration or repair. Provide at least a three
square foot opening of outside air for every
100,000 BTU/HR heater rating. Refer to Ventilation
on page 6 for instructions.
DANGER! Propane is an explosive gas.
Do not attempt to light the heater.
Extinguish any open flame.
Shut off gas to heater.
If odor continues, contact your local gas
supplier or fire department.

electric device that can cause a spark.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
Service must be done by a qualified service
agent.
