SAFETY INFORMATION
EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Keep solid combusbles, such as building materials, paper
or cardboard, a safe distance away from the heater as
recommended by the instrucons.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combuson chamber.
• Never use the heater in spaces which do or may contain
volale or airborne combusbles, or products such
as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust parcles or
unknown chemicals.
• During operaon, this product can be a source of ignion.
Keep heater area clear and free from combusble
materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and
other ammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in
areas with high dust content. Minimum heater clearances
from combusble materials: three (3) feet from the sides
& two (2) feet from the top.
DANGER
EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Never store propane near high heat, open ames, pilot
lights, direct sunlight, other ignion sources or where
temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).
• Propane vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate
in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane cylinder while heater is
lighted, near ame, pilot lights, other ignion sources or
while heater is hot to touch.
• This heater is red hot during use and can ignite
ammables too close to the burner. Keep ammables at
least 3 feet from sides & 2 feet from top. Keep gasoline
and other ammable liquids and vapors well away from
heater.
• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well venlated
space out of reach of children. Never store the propane
cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If heater
is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder
for outdoor storage.
We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our
heaters. Check with your local re safety authority if you have
quesons about heater use. Other standards govern the use of
fuel gases and heat producing products for specic uses. Your
local authories can advise you about these. If no local codes
exist, follow Naonal Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,
installaon must conform to local codes. If no local codes
exist, follow the current Naonal standards of CANADA CAN/
CGA-B 149.2.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This heater is a combuson appliance. All
combuson appliances produce carbon monoxide
(CO) during the combuson process. This product
is designed to produce extremely minute, non-
hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in
accordance with all warnings and instrucons. Do
not block air ow into or out of the heater.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces u-like
symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness,
fague and possibly death. You can’t see it and
you can’t smell it. It’s an invisible killer. If these
symptoms are present during operaon of this
product get fresh air immediately!
• For outdoor use only.
• Never use inside house, or other unvenlated or
enclosed areas.
• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not
use in unvenlated or enclosed areas to avoid
endangering your life.

SAFETY INFORMATION
California Proposion 65
Combuson by-products produced when using this product
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproducve harm.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
• Never leave heater unaended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the heater
will be subjected to radiant heat and could be seriously
damaged.
WARNING
SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connecons and ngs clean. Make sure
propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
• During set up, check all connecons and ngs for
leaks using soapy water. Never use a ame.
• Use as a heang appliance only. Never alter in any way
or use with any device.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous situaon
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas
is invisible, odorless, and ammable. An odorant
is normally added to help detect leaks and can be
described as a “roen egg” smell. The odorant can
fade over me so leaking gas is not always detectable
by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane
will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by
ignion sources including matches, lighters, sparks
or open ames of any kind many feet away from the
original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local
ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn o
propane when not in use.
WARNING
• Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface
temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to avoid
burning skin or igning clothing.
• Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity of
the heater.
• Do not hang clothing or any other ammable materials
from the heater, or place on or near the heater.
• Replace any guard or protecve device removed for
servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.
• Installaon and repair should be done by a qualied
service person. The heater should be inspected before
use and annually by a qualied service person.
• More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It
is imperave that the control compartment, burners, and
circulang air passageway of the appliance be kept clean.

LEAK CHECK
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak check soluon (one part liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts
water).
2. Apply several drops of soluon where hose aaches to regulator.
3. Apply several drops of soluon where regulator connects to cylinder.
4. Make sure all pao heater and light valves are OFF.
5. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connecon, there is a leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at hose/regulator connecon: ghten connecon and perform another leak test. If
bubbles connue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place of purchase.
3. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connecon: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another
leak check. If you connue to see bubbles aer several aempts, cylinder valve is defecve
and should be returned to cylinder’s place of purchase. If NO bubbles appear at any

2. Apply several drops of solution where hose attaches to regulator.
3. Apply several drops of solution where regulator connects to cylinder.
4. Make sure all patio heater and light valves are OFF.
5. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at hose/regulator connection: tighten connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles
continue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place of purchase.
3. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak
check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should be
returned to cylinder’s place of purchase.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.
NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.
