SAFETY INFORMATION CONT.
The products described in this manual are pro-
pane direct-fired, forced air heaters. Propane
forced air heaters are primarily intended for use
for temporary heating of buildings under construc-
tion, alteration or repair. Direct-fired means that
all of the combustion products of the heater enter
the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98%
combustion eciency, but does produce small
amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation
in accordance with the instructions in this manual
can result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a
physician before using this heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-
semble the flu. Symptoms of improper ventilation /
carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth
Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide

warranty.
– When heater is not in use, LP Cylinder must be
turned OFF.
– Be sure that the LP Cylinder is located on a level and
stable surface.
– DO NOT use this heater in a basement or below
ground level. Propane is heavier than air and will
always seek the lowest level. If you suspect a leak,
shut o the valve at the LP Cylinder immediately.
The Propane (LP) cylinder must also be equipped with
the following:
– A collar to protect the gas valve.
– A shut-o valve terminating a LP cylinder valve
outlet as specified in the American National
Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve
Outlets and Inlets Connections.
– A safety relief valve having direct communications
with the vapor space of the LP cylinder.
– The heater must operate on vapor withdrawal from
the operating cylinder.
– Always keep LP cylinder fastened and upright.
– Avoid tipping the LP cylinder on its side when
connected to a regulator, since this may cause
damage to diaphragm in the regulator.
– Handle valves with care.
– Never connect an unregulated LP cylinder to a
construction heater.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ SUITE
Les produits décrits dans ce manuel sont des
chauerettes à feu direct et à air pulsé alimentées au
propane. Les chauerettes à air forcé au propane sont
principalement destinées au chauage temporaire des
bâtiments en cours de construction ou de rénovation. Feu
direct signifie que tous les produits de combustion de la
chauerette entrent dans l’espace chaué. Cet appareil
est évalué à 98% de rendement de la combustion, mais il
produit de petites quantités de monoxyde de carbone.
Le monoxyde de carbone est toxique. Les êtres
humains peuvent en tolérer seulement de petites
quantités; des précautions doivent donc être prises
pour assurer une ventilation adéquate. Une ventilation
non adéquate, en violation des consignes figurant
dans ce manuel, peut entraîner la mort.
Les personnes atteintes de problèmes respiratoires
doivent consulter un médecin avant d’utiliser cet appareil.
Les premiers signes d’intoxication au monoxyde de
carbone ressemblent aux symptômes de la grippe.
Ces symptômes d’une mauvaise ventilation ou d’un
empoisonnement au monoxyde de carbone sont:
Mal de tête • Étourdissement •Nausée • Bouche sèche
Mal de gorge • Nez et yeux qui brûlent
Si un ou plusieurs de ces symptômesapparaissent :
SORTIR IMMÉDIATEMENT RESPIRER DE L’AIR FRAIS!
Faire vérifier ou réparer la chaufferette et vérifier
que la ventilation est adéquate. Certaines personnes
sont plus affectées que d’autres par le monoxyde de
carbone. Celles-ci incluent: les femmes enceintes,
les personnes ayant des problèmes cardiaques ou
pulmonaires, souffrant d’anémie ou qui se trouvent
sous l’influence de l’alcool ou à haute altitude.
POUR USAGE INTÉRIEUR SEULEMENT : Fournir une
ventilation adéquate conformément à la norme OSHA
29 CFR 1926.154, aux exigences de sécurité pour les
appareils et équipements portables de chauffage
temporaire, à la norme ANSI A10.10, à la norme Z223.1/
NFPA 54, au Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code NFPA 58
ou au Code d'installation du gaz naturel et du propane
CAN B149.1, selon le cas.
QUE FAIRE SI UNE ODEUR DE GAZ EST DÉTECTÉE:
–NE PAS tenter d’allumer la chauerette.
–Éteindre toute flamme nue.
–Couper l’alimentation en gaz vers lachauerette.
–Si l’odeur persiste, contacter le fournisseur de
gaz local ou le service des incendies.
–NE PAS toucher ou utiliser un commutateur
électrique ou un appareil électrique qui pourrait
produire une étincelle.
–Appeler immédiatement le fournisseur de gaz
à partir du téléphone d’un voisin. Suivre les
instructions du fournisseur de gaz.
–Si le fournisseur de gaz ne peut être rejoint,
appeler le service des incendies.
–La réparation doit être eectuée par une agence
de service qualifiée.
NE JAMAIS entreposer ni utiliser d’essence ou d’autres
vapeurs ou liquides inflammables à proximité de cette
chauerette ou de tout autre appareil.
