DANGER
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
This heater produces carbon monoxide, which has no
odor. Burning the heater in an enclosed space can kill
you. Never use the heater in enclosed spaces such as a
tent, a camper, any vehicle or recreational vehicle (RV),
enclosed shelter, or any other enclosed areas.
DANGER
Not for use in residential living areas or in non-adequately
ventilated enclosed spaces. Never bring or store a
propane cylinder indoors.
WARNING
This is an unvented portable heater. It uses air (oxygen)
from the area in which it is used. Adequate combustion
and ventilation air must be provided. Refer to VENTILA-
TION on Page 10.
WARNING
EXTREMELY HOT DURING OPERATION! Do Not touch
any metal components while in operation. Keep all
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquid away from this heater.
WARNING
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION!
The products described in this manual are propane direct-fired, forced air heaters. Propane forced air heaters are primari-
ly intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired means that all of
the combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but
does produce small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so precautions should be
taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in accordance with the instructions in this manual
can result in death.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
People with breathing problems should consult a physician before using this heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper ventilation / carbon monoxide
poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include: pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems, anemia or those
under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.
FOR INDOOR USE ONLY:
Adequate ventilation shall be provided in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.154, Safety Requirements for Temporary
and Portable Space Heating Devices and Equipment, ANSI A10.10, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Liquefied Petroleum Gas
