■ Propane gas and natural gas have a distinctive
odor. Learn to recognize these odors. (Reference
“Fuel Gas Odor” and “Odor Fading” sections
above.
■ If you have not been properly trained in repair and
service of propane gas and natural gas fueled
brood heaters, then do not attempt to light the
brood heater, perform service or repairs, or make
any adjustments to the brood heater on a propane
gas or natural gas fuel system.
■ Even if you are not properly trained in the service
and repair of radiant brood heaters, ALWAYS be
consciously aware of the odors of propane gas and
natural gas.
■ A periodic “sniff test” around the brood heater or
at the brood heater’s joints; i.e. hose, connections,
etc., is a good safety practice under any conditions.
If you smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT
YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO
NOT WAIT!

experience to allow you to troubleshoot, replace
defective parts, and test brood heaters in order to

3. If at any time you notice something unusual
about the operation of your brood heater such as
gas odor, overheating, flames other than in the

department that the area is free of gas before you
attempt to relight the brood heater.
