WA R N I N G
This product is fueled by propane gas, which is invisible, odorless and highly flammable. An odorant is
normally added by the manufacturer, which has a "rotten egg" smell to it. This additive can fade over
time, so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest possible level. It can be ignited
by a spark or flame of any kind and from several feet away from a leak.
Do not use a propane tank with a capacity larger than 20lb (9.07kg). The propane tank must be
provided with a shut-off valve, arranged for vapor withdrawal and include a collar to protect the
tank's valve.
Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinances or codes with ANSI/NFPA 58.
Make sure the propane gas control valve is turned off when not in use.
The propane tank must always be stored outdoors, in a well ventilated area and out of the reach of
children. Never store propane in an enclosed space (house, garage, etc.).
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the BiteShield Cordless Guardian, MK-14 must
be used for the connection to the propane tank. The maximum inlet gas supply is l ess than 30 SCFH (0,85
cm3/h). Replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies must be provided by Koolatron, Inc.
The BiteShield Cordless Guardian, MK-14 must be used outdoors and only in a well ventilated area. If it
is stored indoors, disconnect the propane tank and properly store it outdoors. The disconnected tank
must have a threaded valve plug tightly installed.
