NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Thisisapropane,direct-fired,forcedairheater.It'sintendeduse
isprimarilytemporaryheatingofbuildingsunderconstruction,
alterationorrepair.
Propaneisheavierthanair.Ifpropaneleaksfromaconnection
orfitting,itsinkstothefloor,collecting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enclosedOdorFade
andPropaneSheetforadditionalinformationaboutdetecting
propaneleaks.Leakchecknewconnectionsorreconnecting
withasoapandwatersolutionandfollowallconnection
instructionsherein.Also,askyourpropanedealerforadviceon
thepropaneapplicationandsupplyinstallationandaskhimto
checkitifthereareanyquestions.
Thisheaterwasdesignedandcertifiedforuseasaconstruction
heaterinaccordancewithANSIZ83.7/CGA2.14.Checkwith
yourlocalfiresafetyauthorityifyouhaveanyquestionsabout
yourapplications.Otherstandardsgoverntheuseoffuelgases
andheatproducingproductsinspecificapplications.Yourlocal
authoritycanadviseyouaboutthese.
Direct-Firedmeansthatallofthecombustionproductsenter
theheatedspace.Eventhoughthisheateroperatesveryclose
to100percentcombustionefficiency,itstillproducessmall
amountsofcarbonmonoxide.Carbonmonoxide(calledCO)is
toxic.Wecantoleratesmallamountsbutnotalot.COcanbuild
upinaheatedspaceandfailuretoprovideadequateventilation
couldresultindeath.Thesymptomsofinadequateventilation
are:
 •headache
 •dizziness
 •burningeyesandnose
 •nausea
 •drymouthorsorethroat
So,besuretofollowadviceaboutventilationintheseoperating
instructions.
ForcedAirmeansthatablowerorfanpushestheairthrough
theheater.Propercombustiondependsuponthisairflow;
therefore,theheatermustnotberevised,modifiedoroperated
withpartsremovedormissing.Likewise,safetysystemsmust
notbecircumventedormodifiedinordertooperatetheheater.
Whentheheateristobeoperatedinthepresenceofother
peopletheuserisresponsibleforproperlyacquaintingthose
presentwiththesafetyprecautionsandinstructions,andofthe
hazardsinvolved.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Checktheheaterthoroughlyfordamage.DONOToperatea
damagedheater.
2. DONOTmodifytheheateroroperateaheaterwhichhas
beenmodifiedfromitsoriginalcondition.
3. Useonlypropanegas.
4. UseonlyVAPORWITHDRAWALpropanesupply.Ifthere
isanyquestionaboutvaporwithdrawal,askyourpropane
dealer.
5. Mountthepropanecylindersvertically(shutoffvalveup).
Securethemfromfallingorbeingknockedoverandprotect
themfromdamage.
6. Locatepropanecontainersatleast(USA)7ft.(2.13m),
(Canada)10ft.(3m)fromtheheateranddo notdirect
exhausttowardcontainers.
7. IMPORTANTUseonlythehoseandregulatorassembly
providedwiththeheater.Matchthecolorstripeonthe
hang-tagattachedtothehoseassemblywiththecolor
onthelabellocatednearthepropaneinletfittingonthe
heater.Inspecthoseassemblybeforeeachuseoftheheater.
Ifthereisexcessiveabrasionorwear,orhoseiscut,replace
withhoseassemblylistedonpartslistbeforeusingheater.
8. Foreitherindoororoutdooruse.Adequateventilationmust
beprovided.Figure 1.(alsosee"OperatingPrecautions").
9. Ifatanytimegasodorisdetected,IMMEDIATELY
DISCONTINUEoperationuntilthesourceofgashasbeen
locatedandcorrected.ReadenclosedOdorfadeand
PropaneSheetforadditionalinformationaboutdetecting
propaneleaks.
10. Maintainminimumclearancefromnormalcombustible
material(likepaper).Figure 2.
11. Duetothehighsurfaceandexhausttemperatures,adults
andchildrenmustobserveclearancestoavoidburnsor

12. Operateonlyonastable,levelsurface.
13. Donotusewithductwork.Donotrestrictinletorexit.
14. Useonlytheelectricalpowerspecified.Theelectrical
connectionandgroundingmustcomplywithNational
ElectricalCode-ANSI/NFPA70(USA)andCSAC22.1
CanadianElectricalCode,Part1(Canada).
15. Useonlyaproperlygrounded3-prongreceptacleor

16. Donotmove,handleorservicewhilehotorburning.
17. Donotadjusttheheatercombustiontubeelevationwhile
heaterisrunningorhot.Adjustmentstoelevationshould
onlybemadeaftertheheaterhascooledtotouch.
18. Useonlyinaccordancewithlocalcodesor,intheabsenceof

todeterminecombustionairventilation  
requirementsoftheheater.

FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have man‑made odorants
added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the
fuel gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air you
should smell for the gas odor low to the floor. ANY
GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE
ACTION!
•Donottakeanyactionthatcouldignitethefuelgas.Donot
operateanyelectricalswitches.Donotdisconnectanypower
supplyorextensioncords.Donotlightmatchesoranyother
sourceofflame.Donotuseyourtelephone.
 •Geteveryoneoutofthebuildingandawayfromthearea
immediately.
•Closeallpropane(LP)gastankorcylinderfuelsupplyvalves,
orthemainfuelsupplyvalvelocatedatthemeterifyouuse
naturalgas.
 •Propane(LP)gasisheavierthanairandmaysettleinlow
areas.Whenyouhavereasontosuspectapropaneleak,keep
outofalllowareas.
 •Useyourneighbor’sphoneandcallyourfuelgassupplierand
yourfiredepartment.Donotre-enterthebuildingorarea.
 •Stayoutofthebuildingandawayfromtheareauntildeclared
safebythefirefightersandyourfuelgassupplier.
 •FINALLY,letthefuelgasservicepersonandthefirefighters
checkforescapedgas.Havethemairoutthebuildingand
areabeforeyoureturn.Properlytrainedservicepeoplemust
repairanyleaks,checkforfurtherleakages,andthenrelight
theapplianceforyou.
ODOR FADING ‑ NO ODOR DETECTED
•Somepeoplecannotsmellwell.Somepeoplecannotsmell
theodoroftheman-madechemicaladdedtopropane(LP)or
naturalgas.Youmustdetermineifyoucansmelltheodorant
inthesefuelgases.
 •Learntorecognizetheodorofpropane(LP)gasandnatural
gas.Localpropane(LP)gasdealerswillbemorethanhappy
togiveyouascratchandsniffpamphlet.Useittobecome
familiarwiththefuelgasodor.
 •Smokingcandecreaseyourabilitytosmell.Beingaround
anodorforaperiodoftimecanaffectyoursensitivityto
thatparticularodor.Odorspresentinanimalconfinement
buildingscanmaskfuelgasodor.
•The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is
colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under
some circumstances.
 •Ifthereisanundergroundleak,themovementofgasthrough
thesoilcanfiltertheodorant.
 •Propane(LP)gasodormaydifferinintensityatdifferent
levels.SincePropane(LP)gasisheavierthanair,theremaybe
moreodoratlowerlevels.
 •Alwaysbesensitivetotheslightestgasodor.Ifyou
continuetodetectanygasodor,nomatterhowsmall,treat
itasaseriousleak.Immediatelygointoactionasdiscussed
previously.
ATTENTION ‑ CRITICAL POINTS TO
REMEMBER!
•Propane(LP)gashasadistinctiveodor.Learntorecognize
theseodors.(ReferenceFuelGasOdorandOdorFading
sectionsabove.
 •EvenIfyouarenotpropertytrainedintheserviceandrepair
oftheheater,ALWAYSbeconsciouslyawareoftheodorsof
propane(LP)gasandnaturalgas.
 •Ifyouhavenotbeenproperlytrainedinrepairandserviceof

thepropane(LP)gasfuelsystem.
 •Aperiodicsnifftestaroundtheheaterorattheheater’s
