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.
If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to local
codes. If no local codes exist, follow the current National
standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.
DANGER
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This heater is a combustion appliance. All combustion
appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the
combustion process. This product is designed to produce
extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used
and maintained in accordance with all warnings and
instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the heater.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like
symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue 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
operation of this product get fresh air immediately!
• For outdoor use only .
• Never use inside house, or other unventilated or
enclosed areas.
• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in
unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering
your life.
CAUTION
• SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure
propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks
using soapy water. Never use a flame.
• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any way or
use with any device.
WARNING
• BURN HAZARD
• Never leave heater unattended when hot or in use.
•Keepoutofreachofchildren.
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the heater,
will be subjected to radiant heat and could be seriously
damaged.

WARNING
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is
invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally
added to help detect leaks and can be described as a
“rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time 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 ignition
sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open flames
ofanykindmanyfeetawayfromtheoriginalleak.Useonly
propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use. WARNING
DANGER
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot
lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where
temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).
• Propane vapors are heavier than air and canaccumulate
in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane cylinder while heater is
lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or
while heater is hot to touch.
• This heater is red hot during use and can ignite
flammables too close to the burner. Keep flammables at
least 3 feet from sides & 2 feet from top. Keep gasoline and
other flammable liquids and vapors well away from heater.
• The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a
well ventilated space out of reach of children.Never store
propane cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.).
If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane
cylinder for outdoor storage.
•Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface temperatures. Stay away
from these surfaces to avoid burning skin or igniting
clothing.
•Young children should be carefully supervised
when in the vicinity of the heater.
•Clothing or any other flammable materials
should not be hung from the heater, or placed on
or near the heater.
•Any guard or protective device removed for
servicing the appliance must be replaced prior
to placing back in service.
•Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The heater should be inspected
before use and annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary.
It is imperative that the control compartment, burners,
and circulating air passageway of the appliance be
kept clean.
