 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 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.  It's 

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.  

 CAUTION

propane cylinder valve outlet is clean. 

•  Inspect hose  before  use.  Replace  if  there  is  evidence  of 

abrasion or wear. 

• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks 

using soapy water. Never use a flame. 

• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any way or 

use with any device. 

• Check entire hose at least annually.
