1. Check the heater’s gas hose after each use for cuts,
cracks, and worn fittings. Replace the hose assembly
if it is suspect. Do not attempt to repair the gas hose.
2. The appliance area shall be kept clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

be replaced.
