DANGER
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct
sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120
degrees F (49°C).
• Propane is heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you
smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane tank while heater is lighted, near
flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or while heater is hot to touch.
• This heater is red hot during use and can ignite flammables too close
to the burner. Keep flammables at least 3 feet from sides & 2 feet from
top. Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors well away
from heater.
• The propane tank must always be stored outdoors in a well ventilated
space. Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house, garage,
etc.). If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane tank for
outdoor storage.
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• For outdoor use only. Never use inside house, or other unventilated
or enclosed areas. This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in
unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.
DANGER

Safety Information in this manual and all assembly is complete & leak
checks have been performed.
