WARNING
■
Do not use this heater for heating human living
quarters.
■
Do not use in unventilated areas.
■
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
■
Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the
combustion air requirements of the heater being used.
■
Refer to the specification section of the heater’s
Owner’s Manual, heater dataplate, or contact the
L.B. White Company to determine combustion air
ventilation requirements of the heater.
■
Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper
combustion.
■
Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning in humans leading to serious injury or death.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include
headaches, dizziness and difficulty in breathing.
■
Symptoms of improper combustion affecting livestock
can be disease, lower feed conversion, or death.
Asphyxiation Hazard
■
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot
smell the odor of the man-made chemical added to
propane (LP) gas. You must determine if you can
smell the odorant in these fuel gases.

through the soil can filter the odorant.

Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at different
levels. Since propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, there
may be more odor at lower levels.
■
Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor.
If you

discussed previously.
