SAFETY
INFORMATION
The heater is designed for use as a construc-
tion heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7/
CGA 2.14. Other standards govern the use
of fuel gases and heating products for spe-
cific uses. Your local authority can advise
you about these. The primary purpose of
construction heaters is to provide temporary
heating of buildings under construction, al-
teration 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 monox-
ide than others. Early signs of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-
aches, 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.
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 Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2.
This instructs on the safe storage and
handling of propane gases.
• Use only the electrical voltage and
frequency specified on model plate. The
electrical connections and grounding of
the heater shall follow the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
• Electrical grounding instructions — This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle or extension cord.
• Use only the hose and factory preset
regulator provided with the heater.
• Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.
• Provide adequate ventilation. Before
using heater, provide at least a three-
square-foot (2,7 m2) opening of fresh,
outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr of
rating. This heater produces carbon
monoxide, which is listed by the State of
California as a reproductive toxin under
Proposition 65.
• For indoor use only. Do not use heater
outdoors.
• Do not use heater in occupied dwellings
or in living or sleeping quarters.
• 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.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, 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
combustible materials:
Outlet: 8 Ft. (2,40 m)
Sides: 2 Ft. (60 cm)
Top: 6 Ft. (1,80 m)
Rear: 2 Ft. (60 cm)
• Keep heater at least six feet (1.80 m) from
propane tank(s). Do not point heater at
propane tank(s) within 20 feet (6 m).
• Keep propane tank(s) below 100
°
F
(38˚ C).
