OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE “Hot Box”
RED DRAGON CH 220, CH 225 AND CH 250 CONSTRUCTION HEATERS
Note: The “HOT BOX” is intended for the temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Use
only in a well-ventilated area.
Storage
• When the heater is to be stored indoors, the connection between the LP-Gas supply cylinder(s) and the
heater must be disconnected and the cylinder(s) removed from the heater and stored in accordance with
NFPA Pamphlet 58.
• The unique design of the “HOT BOX” allows safe stacking of the units to reduce storage space during the
off-season.
• Before igniting the burner after seasonal storage, check to make sure components are free of dust or other
flammable debris which can accumulate during storage.
• A plastic cap protects the P.O.L. during shipment and should be placed over the end of the P.O.L. when
the unit is detached from the propane cylinder. This will keep contaminants out of the propane supply
hose.
