supplier or fire department.
DANGER! EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD.
• Keep solid combustibles, such as building
materials, paper or cardboard, a safe
distance away from the heater as
recommended by the instructions.
• Provide adequate clearances around air
openings into the combustion chamber.
• Never use the heater in spaces that do or may
contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or
products such as gasoline, solvents, paint
thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.
• During operation, this product can be a
source of ignition. Keep heater area free from
combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner,
cleaning solvents and other flammable
vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in
areas with high dust content. Minimum heater
clearances from combustible materials: three
(3) feet from the sides and two (2) feet from
the top.
DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD.
• This heater is a combustion appliance. All
combustion appliances produce carbon
monoxide (CO) during the combustion
process. This product is designed to produce
extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts
of CO if used and maintained in accordance
with all warnings and instructions. Do not
block air flow into or out of the heater.
• Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You
can't see it and you can't smell it. It's an
invisible killer. If these symptoms are present
during operation of this product, get fresh air
immediately!
• For outdoor use only. Never use inside house,
or other unventilated or enclosed areas.
• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use
in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid
endangering your life.
DANGER! EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD.
• Never store propane near high heat, open
flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other
ignition sources or where temperatures
exceed 120°F.
• Propane vapors are heavier than air and can
accumulate in low places. If you smell gas,
leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane cylinder while
heater is lit, near flame, pilot lights, other
ignition sources or while heater is hot to touch.
• This heater is red hot during use and can
ignite flammables too close to the burner.
Keep flammables at least three feet from
sides and two feet from top. Keep gasoline
and other flammable liquids and vapors well
away from heater.
• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in
a well ventilated space out of reach of
children. Never store the propane cylinder
in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If
heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the
propane cylinder for outdoor storage.
WARNING! Every use that may be made of
heaters cannot be foreseen. Check with your
local fire safety authority if you have questions
about heater use. Other standards govern the
use of fuel gases and heat-producing products
for specific uses. Your local authorities can
advise you about these.
If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas
Code, ANS Z223.1. In Canada, installation
must conform to local codes. If no local codes
exist, follow the current national standards of
CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.
