IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the

heater as recommended by the instructions.

2. Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.

3. Never use the heater in spaces which do or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products

such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.

4. During operation, this product can be a source of ignition . Keep heater area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other ammable vapors and liquids. Do not use

heater in areas with high dust content. Minimum heater clearances from combustible materials: two (2) feet

from the sides & three (3) feet from the top.

5. Keep all connections and ttings clean. Make sure propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.

6. Inspect hose before use. Replace if there is evidence of abrasion or wear.

7. During set up, check all connections and ttings for leaks using soapy water. Never use a ame.

8. Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any way or use with any device.

9. Check entire hose at least annually.

10. Failure to comply with the precautions and instructions provided with this heater can result in death, serious

bodily injury and property loss or damage from hazards of re, explosion, burn, asphyxiation, and/or carbon

monoxide poisoning. Only persons who can understand and follow the instructions should use or service

this heater.

11. If you smell gas:

Shut off gas to the appliance.

Extinguish any open ame.

If odor continues, immediately call gas supplier.

12 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 ow into

or out of the heater.

13. Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces u-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!

14. For outdoor use only.

15. Never use inside house, or other unventilated or enclosed areas.

16. This heater consumes air (oxygen) . Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering

your life.

17. This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and ammable. An odorant is

normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade

over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.

18. Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by

ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open ames of any kind many feet away from the

original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
