Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Burning eyes and nose
• Nausea
• Dry mouth and sore throat
DO NOT ignore these symptoms; early symptom
identification can save lives. If any of the
symptoms are noticed, immediately follow the
instructions to turn the heater off. Vacate the
workspace and open doors or windows to allow
the CO to dissipate before reentry.
A forced air heater requires air to be pushed
through the heater. This heater was designed with
a fan to push air through the system; therefore,
this heater should not be modified in any fashion.
Never attempt to modify the heater to bypass the
safety control system.
The operator is responsible for informing all
occupants of the workspace of the safety
precautions and hazards associated with using
a forced air propane heater.
ADJUSTING HEATER TILT ANGLE

counterclockwise until loose.
2. Pull the Supporting Plate downward to

b. 101 to 200 Foot Extension Cord – 14 AWG
4. Plug the extension cord into a 120V/60Hz,

unburned fuel to exit the heater.
7. 30 seconds after ignition, the automatic fuel
control system is activated.
