Operator’s Manual 5

CARBON MONOXIDE - POISONOUS GAS

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO

DEATH!

Space heaters exhaust contains carbon monoxide - a poisonous gas

that can kill you. You CAN NOT smell or see this gas.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble the ﬂu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have

these signs, the space heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at

once! Have space heater serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon

monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, persons with heart

or lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol, and those

at high altitudes.

Never use a space heater in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces without

proper ventilation. Use only in well-vented areas. Before using space heater,

provide at least a three-square-foot (2800 square cm) opening of fresh,

outside air for each 100,000 Btu / Hr (30 kw) of rating. Space heaters can

produce high levels of carbon monoxide very quickly. When you use a space

heater, remember that you cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you

can’t smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a space heater, get to fresh

air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon monoxide from space heaters

can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.

If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention immediately.

Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected. If you

experienced symptoms while indoors, have someone call the re department

to determine when it is safe to re-enter the building.

NEVER operate the space heater in an explosive atmosphere, near

combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufcient to carry away

exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or death.

NEVER run space heaters inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-

enclosed spaces without proper ventilation. These spaces can trap poisonous

gases EVEN IF you run a fan or open doors and windows. Use only in well-

vented areas. Before using space heater, provide at least a three-square-foot

(2800 square cm) opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu / Hr (30

kw) of rating.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the space heater, shut

if off and get fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon

monoxide poisoning.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide

alarms with battery back-up in your home, according to the manufacturer’s

installation instructions. The carbon monoxide alarms should be certied to

the requirements of the latest safety standards for carbon monoxide alarms.

(UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).

Test your carbon monoxide alarm frequently and replace dead batteries.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

DANGER- IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-

GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF

ELECTROCUTION. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED

ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN

DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY

GROUNDED.

Use only the electrical voltage and frequency specied on model

plate. The electrical connections and grounding of the heater shall

follow the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian

Electrical Code, Part 1.

Space heater must be grounded. Use only a properly grounded

three-wire extension cord. Plug into grounded outlet only. If it should

malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

The space heater is a potential source of electrical shock if not

kept dry. Keep the space heater dry and do not use in rain or wet

conditions. To protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface

under an open, canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before

touching the space heater.

Check that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug

has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin.

AIR VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS. IF PROPER

FRESH, OUTSIDE AIR VENTILATION IS NOT

PROVIDED, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

CAN OCCUR. PROVIDE PROPER FRESH, OUTSIDE

AIR VENTILATION BEFORE RUNNING HEATER.

Provide a fresh air opening of at least three square feet for

each 100,000 Btu/Hr rating. Provide extra fresh air if more

heaters are being used.

PROPANE SUPPLY

Propane / L.P. gas and Propane / L.P. tank(s) are to be

furnished by the user.

Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal

supply system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage

and Handling of Liqueed Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58

and the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.2. Your

local library or re department will have this booklet.

The amount of Propane / L.P. gas ready for use from

Propane / L.P. tanks varies. Two factors decide this amount:

1. The amount of Propane / L.P. gas in tank(s)

2. The temperature of tank(s)

The chart below shows the number of 100 pound (45 kg)

tanks needed to run this heater. Smaller tanks can be used

for limited run times but it is recommended to use larger

tanks for optimum performance.

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. You may need

two or more 100 pound (45 kg) tanks or one larger tank in
