SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

WARNING: This product contains and/or generates chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING: FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLO- SION HAZARD. KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS REC- OMMENDED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER USE THE HEATER IN SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PROD- UCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT THIN- NER, DUST PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS.

WARNING: NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE.

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.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau- sea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! 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.

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

Install and use heater with care. Follow all local ordinances and codes. In the absence of local ordinances and codes, refer to the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 This instructs on the safe storage and handling of propane/LP gases.

Use only the hose and factory preset regulator provided with the heater.

Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• For indoor and outdoor use. When used indoors, use only in well-vented areas. Provide at least 120 square inches (774.2 cm2) of fresh, outside air before using heater.

Do not use heater in occupied dwellings, sleeping quarters, camp- ers, tents, or any type of unvented or enclosed area.

Do not use heater in basement or below ground level. Propane gas is heavier than air. If a leak occurs, propane gas will sink to the lowest possible level.

Do not use heater as a cooking device. Do not place objects on top of heater.

Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gaso- line, paint thinner, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Dust is combustible. Do not use heater in areas with high dust content.

Keep heater at least six feet from propane tank(s).

Keep propane tank(s) below 100ºF (38°C).

Before each use, check heater for leaks. Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

Check heater for damage before each use. Do not use a dam- aged heater.

Check hose before each use of heater. If highly worn or cut, re- place with hose specified by the manufacturer before using heater.

Do not alter heater. Keep heater in its orginal state.

Do not use heater if altered.

To prevent injury, wear gloves when handling heater.

Always remove heater from propane tank after each use. Always store propane tank outdoors in a well ventilated space out of the reach of children. Never store propane tank in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Never store propane tank near high heat, open flame, or where temperatures exceed 49° C (120° F).
