DANGER
EXPLOSION—FIRE HAZARD
• Keep solid combustibles, such as
building materials, paper, or cardboard
a safe distance away from the heater as
recommended by the instructions.
• Provide adequate clearances around air
openings into the combustion chamber.
• Never use the heater in spaces which
do or may contain volatile or airborne
combustibles, or products such as
gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust
particles, or unknown chemicals.
• During operation, this appliance can be a
source of ignition. Keep heater area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents
and other flammable vapours and liquids.
Do not use heater in areas with high dust
content. Minimum heater clearances from
combustible materials: 91.44 cm / 36 in
from top and 60.96 cm / 24 in from sides.
• Never store propane near high heat, open
flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other
ignition sources or where temperatures
exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C).
• Propane vapours are heavier than air and
can accumulate in low places. If you smell
gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never instal or remove a propane cylinder
while the heater is lighted, near flame, pilot
lights, or other ignition sources or while
heater is hot to the touch.
• This heater is red hot during use and can
ignite flammables too close to the burner.
Keep flammables at least 91.44 cm / 36 in
from top and 60.96 cm / 24 in from sides.
Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids
and vapours well away from heater.
• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a
well ventilated space out of the reach of
children. Never store the propane cylinder
in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If
heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This heater is a combustion appliance.
All combustion appliances produce carbon
monoxide (CO) during the combustion
process. This product is designed to
produce extremely minute, non-hazardous
amounts of CO if used and maintained
in accordance with all warnings and
instructions. Do not block the air flow into
or out of the heater.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, water eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue, and possibly death.
You can't see and you can't smell it. It is
an invisible killer. If these symptoms are
present during operation of this product,
get fresh air immediately!
• 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.
WARNING
WARNING indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
• Never leave heater unattended when hot
or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored
under the heater, will be subject to radiant
heat and could be seriously damaged.
WARNING:
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
This appliance can produce carbon monoxide
which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed
space can kill you. Never use this appliance
in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent
or home.
WARNING
• This product is fueled by propane gas.
Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and
flammable. An odorant is normally added
to help detect leaks and can be described
as having a "rotten egg" smell. The odorant
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 level
possible. It can ignite by ignition sources
including matches, lighters, sparks or
open flames of any kind many feet away
from the original leak. Use only propane
gas set up for vapor withdrawl.
• Store to use propane gas in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/
NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
• Alert children and adults to the hazards
of high surface temperatures. Stay away
from these surfaces to avoid burning
skin or igniting clothing.
• Carefully supervise young children when
in the vicinity of the heater.
• Do not hang clothing or any other
flammable materials from the heater,
or place near the heater.
• Replace any guard or protective device
removed for servicing the appliance prior
to placing back in service.
• Installation and repair should be done by a
qualified service person. The heater should
be inspected before use and annually be
a qualified service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required as necessary. It is
imperative that the control compartment,
burners, and circulating air passageway of
the appliance be kept clean.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate personal
injury, or property damage.
CAUTION
SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make
sure propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
• During set up, check all connections and
fittings for leaks using soapy water, never
use a flame to check for leaks.
• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter
in any way to use with any device.
