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
vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in
areas with high dust content.
• This heater is red hot during use and
can ignite flammables too close to the
burner. Keep gasoline and other
flammable liquids, vapors, and materials
well away. Minimum heater clearances
from combustible materials: 91.5cm or 3
ft/36in from head and 2 ft/24in from
base/sides.
• Never store propane near high heat,
open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight,
other ignition sources, or where
temperatures exceed 49°C or 120°F.
• Propane vapors are heavier than air
and can accumulate in low places. If you
smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove a propane
cylinder while the heater is lighted, or
near flame, pilot lights or other ignition
sources, or while heater is hot to the
touch.
• 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 the heater is to be stored
indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder
for outdoor storage.

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.
• 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, watery eyes,
headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and possibly
death. You can't see it and you can't smell
it. If any of these symptoms are present
during operation of this product, get fresh
air immediately!
• For outdoor use only.
• Never use inside a house or
other unventilated or
enclosed area.
• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do
not use in unventilated or enclosed areas
to avoid endangering your life.
CAUTION
SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean.
Make sure propane cylinder valve outlet is
clean.
• During assembly and seasonal set-up,
check all connections and fittings for leaks
with 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 other
device.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
• Never leave heater unattended when hot
or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
• This product is fueled by liquid propane
gas (LPG). LPG 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 ignit 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 withdrawal.
• Store propane gas in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/
NFPA 58.
• Turn off propane at source 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 devices
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 each use and
at least annually by a qualified service
person. More frequent cleaning and
maintenance may be required as
necessary. It is imperative that the control
compartment, burners, and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept
clean.
CAUTION
Certain materials or items, when stored
under the heater, will be subject to
radiant heat and could be seriously
damaged.
CAUTION
Unsecured heaters can be blown over in
moderate to high wind. Damage due to
weather or acts of God is not covered
under warranty. In preparation for windy
conditions, store the heater in a
protected area or otherwise secure it.
