We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our heaters. 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.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion efficiency, it still pro-

duces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Check for proper ventilation and have heater serviced.

Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor- making agent is added to propane gas. The odor helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the odor added to propane gas can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.

This is a propane, direct-fired heater. Propane is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a connection or fitting, it sinks to the floor, collecting there with the surrounding air, forming a potentially explosive mixture. Obviously, propane leaks should be avoided, so set up the propane supply with utmost care. Read Propane/LP Safety, page 4 for additional informa- tion about detecting propane leaks. Leak check new connections or reconnections with a soap and water solution and follow all connection instructions herein. Also, ask your propane dealer for advice on the propane application and supply installation and ask them to check it if there are any questions.

When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other people the user is responsible for properly ac- quainting those present with the safety precautions and instructions, and of the hazards involved.

Make certain you read and understand all warn- ings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

1.Check the heater thoroughly for damage. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.

2.DO NOT modify the heater or operate a heater which has been modified from its original condition.
