Points to Remember!
■ LPG and natural gas have a distinctive odor. Learn
to recognize these odors. (Reference "Fuel Gas
Odor" and "Odor Fading" sections above.
■ If you have not been properly trained in repair and
service of LPG and natural gas brood heaters,
then do not attempt to light brood heater, perform
service or repairs, or make any adjustments to the
brood heater on LPG or natural gas fuel systems.
■ Even if you are not properly trained in the service
and repair of the brood heater, ALWAYS be con-
sciously aware of the odor of LPG and natural gas.
■ A periodic "sniff test" around the brood heater or
at the brood heater's joints; i.e. hose, connections,
etc., is a good safety practice under any conditions.
If you smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT
YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO
NOT WAIT!
