ating, and maintenance procedures or practices will be found that, if not carefully followed, MAY result in minor personal injury, product or property damage.

IMPORTANT: Not every possible circum- stance that might involve a hazard can be anticipated. The warnings in this manual and on tags or decals affixed to the unit are therefore not all-inclusive. If a proce- dure, work method, or operating tech- nique not specifically recommended by Dayton is used, you must make sure it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that equipment will not be damaged or made unsafe by the operating or maintenance method you choose.

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead

to death! 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 operating properly or the areas may not be sufficiently ventilated. 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.

• 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 and the Natural Gas Installa- tion Code, CAN/CGA B149.2. This instructs on the safe storage and handling of propane gases.
