WARNING
The products described in this manual are propane direct-
fired, forced air heaters. Propane forced air heaters are
primarily intended for use for temporary heating of buildings
under construction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired means
that all of the combustion products of the heater enter the
heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combus-
tion efficiency, but does produce small amounts of carbon
monoxide.
DANGER
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate only small
amounts of carbon monoxide and so precautions should
be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to provide
proper ventilation in accordance with the instructions in this
manual can result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a physician
before using this heater. Early signs of carbon monoxide poi-
soning resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper ventilation /
carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth Sore Throat •
Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater serviced and
check for proper ventilation. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include: pregnant
women, those with heart or lung problems, anemia or those
under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE PERMITTED ONLY FOR:
The temporary heating of adequately ventilated buildings or
structures under construction, alteration or repair! Provide at
