 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  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 with draw. 

• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with 

local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off 

propane when not in use. 

 DANGER

• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

•  Never  store  propane  near  high  heat,  open  flames,  pilot 

lights,  direct  sunlight,  other  ignition  sources  or  where 

temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C). 

•  Propane  is  heavier  than  air  and  can  accumulate  in  low 

places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately. 

•  Never  install  or  remove propane  cylinder  while  heater  is 

lighted,  near  flame,  pilot  lights,  other  ignition  sources  or 

while heater is hot to touch. 

•  This  heater  is  red  hot  during  use  and  can  ignite 

flammables  too  close  to  the  burner.  Keep  flammables  at 

least 3 feet from sides & 2 feet from top. Keep gasoline and 

other flammable liquids and vapors well away from heater. 

• The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a 

well  ventilated  space.  Never  store  propane  cylinder  in  an 

enclosed  area  (house,  garage,  etc.).  If  heater  is  to  be 

stored indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder for outdoor 

storage.
