SAFETY
INFORMATION IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper
use of this heater can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire,
explosion, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
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 nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may
not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
PropaneGas:Propanegasisodorless.Anodor-makingagentisaddedtopropane
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.
Makecertainyoureadandunderstandallwarnings.Keepthismanualforreference.
It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
• Do not use heater outdoors or in occupied dwellings. Only use for temporary
heating of buildings under construction, alteration, or repair.
• Install and use heater with care. Follow all local ordinances and codes. In the
absence of local ordinances and current codes, refer to CAN/CGA-B149.2
Installation Code for Propane. This instructs on the safe storage and handling
of propane gases.
• Check heater for damage before each use. Do not use a damaged heater.
• Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Keep propane tank(s) below 38°C (100° F).
• Use only in well-vented areas. Provide at least a three-square-foot opening of
fresh, outside air for each 105.500 kJ/hr (100,000 BTU/Hr) of rating.
• Use only in places free of flammable vapors or high dust content.
• Keep heater away from strong drafts, water spray, rain, or dripping water.
• Use only the electrical voltage and frequency specified on model plate.
• Use only a three-prong, grounded extension cord.
• Use only the hose and factory regulator provided with the heater.
• Inspect hose assembly before each use of heater. If excessive abrasion or wear
is seen, or the hose is cut, replace before using heater. Use the replacement
hose assembly that is specified by the manufacturer.
• Keep heater at least six feet from propane tank(s). Do not point heater at
propane tank(s) within 6 m (20 feet).
• Minimum heater clearances from combustibles:
Front outlet: 3 m (10 Ft.) Sides: 0,61 m (2 Ft.)
Top: 2 m (6 Ft.) Rear: 0,61 m (2 Ft.)
• Locate heater on stable and level surface while it is hot or running.
• Keep children and animals away from heater.
• Unplug heater when not in use.
• Never use heater in living or sleeping quarters.
• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front) of heater.
• Never move, handle, or service a hot, operating, or plugged-in heater.
• Never attach duct work to front or rear of heater.
• Do not adjust regulator below 48 kPa (7 psig) or above 138 kPa (20 psig).
• Use only original replacement parts. This heater must use design-specific
parts. Do not substitute or use generic parts. Improper replacement parts
could cause serious or fatal injuries.

THEORY OF
OPERATION
The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas
supply. The propane gas moves through the solenoid valve and out the nozzle.
The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around
the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.
The Ignition System: The burner control sends voltage to the ignitor. The
ignitor ignites the fuel and air mixture.
The Safety Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down if the
flame goes out. The motor will continue to run, but no heat is produced.

PROPANE
SUPPLY
Propane gas and propane tank(s) are to be furnished by the user.
Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system.
The amount of propane gas ready for use from propane tanks varies. Two factors
decide this amount:
1. The amount of propane gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
The chart below shows the number of 45-kg (100-pound) tanks needed to run this
heater. Do not operate this product with any tank smaller than 45-kg (100 pounds).
Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures. You may need a larger tank in colder
weather. Your local propane gas dealer will help you select the proper supply
system.

VENTILATION
Provide at least a 0,28 m2 (three-square-foot) opening of fresh, outside air for each
105.500kJ/hr (100,000 BTU/Hr) of rating. This heater requires a fresh-air opening
of at least 1 m2(9.75 square feet). Provide extra fresh air if using more heaters.
WARNING ICON G 001
WARNING
Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation
requirements. If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not
provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide
proper fresh, outside air ventilation before running heater.
OPERATION
WARNING ICON G 001
WARNING
Review and understand the warnings in the Safety Information
Section, page 3. They are needed to safely operate this heater.
Follow all local codes when using this heater.
To Start Heater
1. Follow all installation, ventilation, and safety information.
2. Locate heater on stable and level surface. Make sure strong drafts do not blow
into front or rear of heater.
3. Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded extension cord. Exten-
sion cord must be at least 2 m (6 ft.) long, CSA listed, and of a proper size.
4. Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, three-hole, grounded outlet.
5. Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened
slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. If this
happens, close propane supply valve and open again slowly.
6. Make sure regulator is set between 48 and 138 kPa (7 and 20 psig).
Note: Higher regulator setting will allow heater to produce more heat.
7. Push start switch to start heater. Heater will start within six seconds.
Note: If heater does not start, unplug the heater. Wait ten seconds for safety
control to reset, then try again.
To Stop Heater
1. Tightly close propane supply valve on propane tank(s).
2. Wait a few seconds. Heater will burn gas left in supply hoses.
3. Unplug heater.
To Restart Heater
If safety control stops gas flow to heater, motor will continue to run.
To restart heater:
1. Unplug the heater. Wait ten seconds for safety control to reset.
2. Plug in heater. Push start switch.

TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
If heater does not start or restart
• Check manual valves (if any) and supply valves (on propane tank). Make
sure they are open.
• Check fuel level in propane tank(s). If fuel level is too low, contact local
propane gas company.
If heater still does not start or restart, contact your local service center.
WARNING ICON G 001
WARNING
•Never service heater while it is plugged in, connected
to propane supply, operating, or hot. Severe burns and
electrical shock can occur.
•Keep heater clear and free from combustible materials,

debris. If heater is dirty or dusty, clean heater with a damp cloth. Use house-
hold cleaners on difficult spots.
2. Inspect heater before each use. Check connections for leaks. Apply mixture of
liquid soap and water to connections. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all
leaks at once.
3. Inspect hose/regulator assembly before each use. If hose is highly worn
or cut, replace.
4. Have heater inspected yearly by service person.
5. Keep inside of heater free from combustible and foreign objects.
1. Store propane tank(s) in safe manner. Follow all local codes.
2. Place plastic cover caps over brass fittings on inlet connector and
hose/regulator assembly.
3. Store in dry, clean, and safe place. Do not store hose/regulator assembly inside
heater combustion chamber.
4. When taking heater out of storage, always check inside of heater. Insects and
small animals may place foreign objects in heater. Keep inside of heater free
from combustible and foreign objects.

AVERTISSEMENTS
IMPORTANT : Veiller à lire ce manuel d’utilisation attentivement et
complètement avant de tenter de monter, d’utiliser ou d’effectuer
l’entretien de cet appareil. Une mauvaise utilisation de cet appareil de
chauffage peut causer des blessures graves voire la mort par
brûlures, incendie, explosion, électrocution ou intoxication par
l’oxyde de carbone.
Intoxication par l’oxyde de carbone : Certaines personnes sont plus
susceptibles que d’autres aux effets de l’oxyde de carbone. Les premiers signes
d’intoxication par l’oxyde de carbone ressemblent à ceux de la grippe : maux de
tête, vertiges et/ou nausée. Si l’on ressent ces symptômes, il se peut que l’appareil
de chauffage ne fonctionne pas correctement. Aller immédiatement respirer de
l’air frais. Faire réparer réparer l’appareil de chauffage.
Gaz propane : Le gaz propane est inodore. Un agent odorisant y est ajouté.
L’odeur aide à détecter les fuites, mais elle peut s’atténuer. Il peut donc y avoir du
gaz propane en l’absence de toute odeur.
