Safety Information
The heater you have purchased was designed, first of all, to be safe. However, since this
heater burns propane, safety precautions are necessary for the safe and reliable operation
of this product. For your safety, please take the time to read the appropriate sections of
this manual before installing, servicing, or operating the heater.
Use only propane vapor for fuel.
Use this heater only with regulators
and tanks that provide propane vapor at 10.5 to 11 inches of water
column.
Use of a different fuel, a liquid withdrawal cylinder, and/or
propane vapor at a significantly different pressure risks fire or
explosion.
Do Not Bypass or Remove Safety Equipment
Although we understand temporary measures must sometimes be made
to save a load, bypassing any safety device may result in fire or
explosion. For your safety, do not temporarily bypass any safety
equipment, and if you do, please fix these temporary measures as
quickly as possible.
Use only exact parts or manufacturer approved replacements for repair
For proper function and safety, critical parts such as hoses, regulators,
guards, and controls, must match the existing part.
Do not service heater until unit has cooled for at least 15 minutes
Heat exchanger and attached parts remain hot enough to cause burns
after unit is shut off until they have cooled for a few minutes.
Turn off power to the heater during service. Keep power off unless
necessary for testing as heater can start unexpectedly and could
pinch or cut fingers or sustain damage from tools.
Use only in accordance with local regulations. Current regulations in your
area may require that the installer of this heater or, more likely, that the
person servicing the propane fuel system meet certain requirements. If you
are unsure what is required, please refer to the current regulations in your
area or speak with the authority having jurisdiction before beginning
installation.
WARNING:
During operation, the exhaust of this heater produces carbon monoxide, a
chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects and/or other reproductive
harm.
As always, apply common sense and beware the perils of ignorance. If you’re not sure
it’s safe or don't have enough knowledge to know if it is safe, then don’t do it.
