This heater is for outdoor use only, and shall not be used in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
Always maintain at least 36” clearance (top), and 24” clearance (side)
from combustible materials.
This heater is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion
to or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas heater is dangerous
and will void your warranty.
LP gas Characteristics:
a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become
aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.
b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and
pools in low areas.
c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is
added that smells like rotten cabbage.
d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.
LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be
used.
The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission.
