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.
• 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 vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area
immediately.
• Never install or remove propane cylinder 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 2
feet from sides & 3 feet from top. Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors well away from heater.
• The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a well ventilated space. Never store propane cylinder
in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder for
outdoor storage.
BEFORE TURNING GAS SUPPLY ON
• Your heater was designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do NOT use it inside a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area.
• Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or
liquids.
• Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation.
• Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks.
• Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris.
• Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.

BEFORE LIGHTING

• Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at least annually.
• If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
