combustibles, such as building materials,
from the heater as recommended by the
The heater is designed for use as a construction heater
in accordance with ANSI Z83.7•CGA2.14. (Check with
your local re safety authority if you have questions
about heater use.) Other standards govern the use
of fuel gases and heating products for specic uses.
Your local authority can advise you about these. The
primary purpose of construction heaters is to provide
temporary heating of buildings under construction,
alteration or repair. Properly used, the heater provides
safe, economical heating. Products of combustion are
vented into the area being heated.
We cannot foresee every use which may be made
of this heater.
Propane gas is odorless. An odor-
making agent is added to propane gas. The odor
helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the
odor added to propane gas can fade. Propane gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u with
headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have
these signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Check for proper ventilation and
have the heater serviced.
