Safety Information

The products described in this manual are

propane direct-fired, forced air heaters. Propane

forced air heaters are primarily intended for

use for temporary heating of buildings under

construction, 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 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 manual

can result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a

physician before using this heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble 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

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

PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary

heating of adequately ventilated buildings or

structures under construction, alteration or

repair! Provide 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 8 for further instructions.
