KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER OR CARD- BOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE INSTRUC- TIONS. NEVER USE THE HEATER IN SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASO- LINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNER, DUST PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS.

WARNING: NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE.

The heater is designed for use as a construction heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7/CGA 2.14. Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heating products for specific uses. Your local authority can advise you about these. The primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Properly used, the heater provides safe economical heating. Products of combustion are vented into the area being heated.

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: Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide

For more

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! 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 may 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 and the Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/ CGA B149.2. This instructs on the safe storage and handling of propane gases.

This product has been approved for use in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

Provide adequate ventilation. Before using heater, provide at least a six-square-foot opening of fresh, outside air. This heater pro- duces carbon monoxide, which is listed by the State of Califor- nia as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65.

For indoor use only. Do not use heater outdoors.

Keep heater away from strong drafts, wind, water spray, rain, or dripping water.

Do not use heater in occupied dwellings or in living or sleeping quarters.

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

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.

Minimum heater clearances from combustibles: Sides: 3 feet, Top: 7 feet.

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