FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
If you smell gas:
1. Shut off gas to the appliance.
2. Extinguish any open ame.
3. If odor continues, immediately call your gas
supplier.

We cannot foresee every use which may be
made of our heaters. Check with your local
re 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: Direct-Fired
means that all of the combustion products
enter the heated space. Even though this
heater operates very close to 100 % combus-
tion efciency, it still produces small amounts
of carbon monoxide. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the u, with headaches, 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.

This is a propane, direct-red heater. Propane
is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a
connection or tting, it sinks to the oor, col-
lecting there with the surrounding air, forming
a potentially explosive mixture. Obviously,
propane leaks should be avoided, so set up
the propane supply with utmost care. Read
Propane/LP Safety, page 4 for additional in-
formation about detecting propane leaks. Leak
check new connections or reconnections with a
noncorrosive leak detection uid and follow all
connection instructions herein. Also, ask your
propane dealer for advice on the propane ap-
plication and supply installation and ask them
to check it if there are any questions.
When the heater is to be operated in the pres-
ence of other people the user is responsible
for properly acquainting those present with
the safety precautions and instructions, and
of the hazards involved.
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.
1. Check heater thoroughly for damage. DO
NOT operate a damaged heater.
2. DO NOT modify heater or operate a
heater which has been modied from its
original condition.
3. Use only propane/LP gas.
4. Use only VAPOR WITHDRAWAL pro-
pane supply. The propane cylinder must
be arranged for vapor-withdrawal, in
accordance with the Compress Gas As-
sociations, Small Propane Bottle Assem-
bly. If there is any question about vapor
withdrawal, ask your propane dealer.
5. Use only hose and regulator assembly
provided with heater.
6. Inspect hose assembly before each use
of heater. If there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or hose is cut, replace with hose
assembly listed on parts list before using
heater.
7. This heater is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Make sure there is ample fresh air ventila-
tion. Do not use in buildings, garages or
other enclosed spaces.
8. If at any time gas odor is detected, IM-
MEDIATELY DISCONTINUE operation
until source of gas has been located and
SAFETY
Continued
corrected. Read Propane/LP Safety, page
4 for additional information about detect-
ing propane leaks.
9. Do not expose heater to water spray, rain
and/or dripping water.
10. Maintain minimum clearance to people
or normal combustible material (paper)
of 3 ft. (91.44 cm) from top and 2 ft.
(60.96 cm) from reector.
11. Operate only on a stable, level surface.
12. Do not spray aerosols near heater during
use or shortly thereafter.
13. Do not clean heater with combustible or
corrosive cleaners. Use a noncorrosive
leak detection uid.
14. Check control compartment burners and
circulation air passageways for free air
passage. Make sure there are no obstruc-
tions. These areas are a common location
for spider webs, which can present a
dangerous condition, damage heater and
render it unsafe for use. Heater must be
checked if any of the following conditions
exist:
a) Gas smell along with predominate yel-
low tipping of burner.
b) Heater does not reach temperature.
c) Uneven burner glow.
d) Burner makes popping noises during nor-
mal use, other than during shutdown.
15. Use only a noncorrosive leak detection
uid to conduct leak tests whenever a
propane cylinder is connected. Bubbles
indicate a leak.
16. Do not adjust gas regulator. If you are
unsure of your appliances gas type or
pressure, call a qualied service person.
17. Place control knob in OFF position when
heater is not in use.
18. Always disconnect gas supply after heater
is turned OFF.
19. Do not move, handle or service while hot
or burning.
20. Allow 45 minutes to cool down after use
before attempting to move heater.
21. Do not operate this appliance in windy
conditions. Maximum allowable wind
speed is 10 mph (16 Km/h).
22. Do not operate this appliance in tempera-
ture conditions below 40° F (5° C).

23. Keep heater away from areas where am-
mable liquids, vapors or solids are stored
or used.
24. If operated in salt air environments, unit will
require more frequent cleaning. Otherwise,
longevity of unit will deteriorate rapidly. Use
warm soapy water to clean unit.
25. Items or material stored under heater will
be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.
Any guard or other protective
device removed for servicing
mustbe replaced prior to operat-
ing the heater.

bon monoxide poisoning leading to
serious injury or death. Symptom of
carbon monoxide poisoning can include
headaches dizziness and difculty in
breathing.

SERVICING
To assure safety, proper function and lon-
gevity of the heater, regular maintenance is
required. The frequency of maintenance will
depend on the usage of the unit. Review the
following concerning the criteria for a properly
functioning heater. Failing to follow proper,
regular maintenance will void warranty.
A hazardous condition may result if a heater
is used that has been modied or is not func-
tioning properly. When the heater is working
properly:
• The ame is contained within the heater.
• The ame is essentially blue with perhaps
some yellow tipping.
• There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye
burning or other physical discomfort.
• There is no smoke or soot internal or ex-
ternal to the heater.
• There are no unplanned or unexplained
shut downs of the heater.
The parts list shows the heater as it was con-
structed. Do not use a heater which is different
from that shown. In this regard, use only the
hose, regulator and cylinder connection tting
(called a POL tting) supplied with the heater.
IMPORTANT: Do not use alternates. For this
heater, the regulator must be set as shown
in Specications,page 2. If there is any un-
certainty about the regulator setting, have it
checked by a qualied service person.
1. Allow at least 45 minutes for heater to cool
down after using.
2. Store heater upright in a sheltered area
away from inclement weather and dust.
3. If desired, cover heater after heater has
cooled.
4. If heater is not to be used for an extended
period of time, disconnect and remove
propane/LP gas cylinder and store in ac-
cordance with the Standard for Storage
and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gases, ANSI/INFPA 58.
