such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.
4. During operation, this product 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. Minimum heater clearances from combustible materials: two (2) feet

monoxide poisoning. Only persons who can understand and follow the instructions should use or service

11. If you smell gas:
Shut off gas to the appliance.
Extinguish any open flame.
If odor continues, immediately call gas supplier.
12 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.
13. 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!
14. For outdoor use only.
15. Never use inside house, or other unventilated or enclosed areas.
16. This heater consumes air (oxygen) . Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering
your life.
17. 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.
18. 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 withdrawal.
