Safety Information (continued)

- Do not use this heater on LP gas cylinders larger than 20 lbs.

capacity.

- Always disconnect and remove the heater from the LP cylinder

after use.

- Always attach the heater in an upright (vertical) position. Never

attach the heater in a horizontal position. This will lead to
dangerous and improper operation.

- NEVER handle an operating or hot heater, as severe burns

may result. Wing nuts and burner heads become very hot
during operation. Do not attempt to adjust burner position
while heater is operating. Always allow at least 15 minutes of
cooling time before handling the heater.

- Be sure that all guards are replaced before use.

Propane (LP) Supply

You must provide the propane gas cylinder(s). Use this heater

only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. Refer to
Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas , ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or
fire department will have this booklet.

- 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

odorant 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 LP gas only. DO NOT

attempt to convert to any other gas. Such modifications are
dangerous, and will void 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. The burner should be at least 24 inches from the
floor.

- Do not use this heater in a basement or below ground level.

Propane (LP) is heavier than air, and will always seek the low-
est level. If you suspect a leak, shut off the valve at the LP
cylinder immediately.

- Do not use a flame to check for leaks! Use a 50/50 solution

of dish soap and water to check for leaks. Repair any leaks
before attempt-ing to re-light the heater.

- Check the “O” ring on the heater inlet fuel connector for

damage before each use. Replace if damaged or worn.

- Always store the LP cylinder outdoors, but not in an enclosed

area. Never store the LP cylinder near high heat, direct sun-

light or open flames. Never store the LP cylinder indoors.

- Do not directheater discharge towards any propane cylinder

located within 20 feet of the heater.

- The amount of LP gas used by this heater varies. The two

factors that will determine this are as follows:

1.The amount of gas in the cylinder.
2.The temperature of the cylinder and surrounding area.

Ventilation

For this heater, provide a minimum of 48 square inches of space
by opening a window or door to provide fresh, outside air. For
additional heaters, provide more ventilation.
Provide at least 3 square feet of opening for ventilation per
100,000 Btu of rated operation.
