SAFETY INFORMATION
The products described in this manual are pro-
pane direct-fired heaters. Direct-fired means
that all of the combustion products of the
heater enter the heated space. This appliance
is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, 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 manu-
al 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 ventila-
tion / 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
than others. These include: pregnant women,
those with heart or lung problems, anemia or
those under the influence of alcohol or at high
altitudes.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE PERMIT-
TED ONLY FOR: The temporary heating of
adequately ventilated buildings or structures
under construction, alteration or repair! Pro-
vide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm)
opening of outside air for every 100,000 Btu
/ Hr heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on
page 11 for further instructions.
WHAT TO DO IF THE SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT:
–DO NOT attempt to light the heater.
–Extinguish any open flame.
–Shut off gas to heater.
–If odor continues, contact your local gas
supplier or fire department.

Connecting Heater to LP Cylinder:
Be sure to read and understand all of the
Safety Information in this manual before
connecting the heater to the LP cylinder.
Installation must conform to local codes and
with the Standard for the Storage and Handling
of Liquefied Petroleum Gasses and ANSI/NFPA
58.
Inspect the hose and regulator prior to each
use of the heater. If there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or if the hose is cut, replace it with the
proper assembly shown in the parts list prior to
using the heater.
Model REM-16-TTC-O:
1. Be sure that the control knob on the regulator
is in the “OFF” position.
2. Line up the threads on the fuel connector nut
with the threads on the LP cylinder valve. Turn
fuel connector nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE to
tighten. Fully tighten the nut, being careful
not to over tighten.
3. Slowly open the LP cylinder valve.
Models REM-32-TTC-O / REM-47-TTC-O:
1. Be sure that the control knob on the regulator
is in the “OFF” position.
2. Line up the slots in the tank collar bracket
with the tank collar ring and slide into place.
Be sure the mounting knob is to the outside,
and tighten.
3. Line up the threads on the fuel connector nut
with the threads on the LP cylinder valve. Turn
fuel connector nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE to
tighten. Fully tighten the nut, being careful
not to over tighten.
4. Slowly open the LP cylinder valve.
Check all connections for leaks using a
50/50 mixture of dish-soap and water. Any
bubbles that appear show a leak. Remove and
reconnect the Connector Nut to the valve.

OPERATION
Propane Supply / Information:
Propane (LP)
This heater is not supplied with a propane
cylinder. Use only an approved propane cylinder.
LP Characteristics
– Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier
than air and pools in low areas.
– In its natural state, propane has no odor, but
for your safety an odor that smells like rotten
cabbage has been added.
– Contact of propane (LP) gas with the skin can
cause freeze burns.
– Heater is manufactured for use with propane
gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any
other gas. Such modifications are dangerous
and will void the 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 off 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-off 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.
The amount of Propane (LP) used with this
heater varies. Both factors are:
– The amount of gas in the cylinder of LP.
– The temperature of the LP tank and its
surroundings.
– 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.
– DO NOT subject LP cylinder to excessive
heat.
– Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the LP
cylinder after each use.
– All fittings must be protected when
disconnected from the LP cylinder.
– Never store an LP cylinder inside a building or
in the vicinity of a gas burning appliances.
Propane is safe to use when
properly handled. Careless
handling of the LP cylinder could result in a
fire and or an explosion.
CAUTION
The disconnected tank must
never be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
CAUTION
