Some Important Heater Safety and Use Precautions

Failure to comply with the precautions and instructions provided with this heater can result in 
death, serious bodily injury, and property loss or damage from hazards of fire, explosion, 
burn, asphyxiation, and or carbon monoxide poisoning.   Please be sure you understand all 
operating instructions before attempting to operate or service this or any appliance. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This appliance is designed and approved for outdoor use only (outside of any enclosure).  
Always be sure there is plenty of fresh air when the heater is in use. 

 

  Always use extreme caution while heater is in operation.  Alert both children and adults to the fact that 

the emitter grid will generate extremely high surface temperatures (1600 degrees plus) and will cause 
burns if touched if the heater is in operation.  Wait at least thirty minutes before touching any hot portion 
of heater.  Above the control knob. 

 

  Always maintain at least a 27” inch clearance in all directions from any combustible material. 

 

  Please be sure heater is on a hard level surface.  Be sure ballast weight is assembled into base to 

prevent possible tipping.  

Never move the heater while it is in operation

.  

 

  All leak tests should be done with a soapy solution and 

NEVER with a match or open flame device

 

  Do not attempt to use the heater if wind conditions exceed 8 miles per hour.  It is possible that the high 

wind will blow the burner flame out. Position the heater so that it is not directly exposed to water spray, 
rain, and or dripping water or winds. 

 

  Do not attempt to paint reflector, emitter grid, or any portion of the heater control assembly. 

 

  Do not attempt to modify or alter the natural gas regulator that is included with your heater.  It is preset 

at the factory for 4.5” water column.  This is required for proper operation and safety. 

 

  The heater is equipped specifically for use with Natural Gas.  

 

  Please keep water and sprinklers away from heater especially while in use.
