PROPANE (LP) SUPPLY

1. You must provide the propane gas cylinder(s). Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply
system. Refer to Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas , ANSI/
NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.
2. The cylinder must be equipped with a collar to protect the gas valve, an arrangement of vapor withdrawal,
a shutoff valve terminating the cylinder valve outlet as specified in the American National Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections, and a safety relief valve in direct contact
with the vapor space of the tank.
3. Always keep the cylinder in an upright position. Avoid knocking the cylinder over on its side with the hose/
regulator connected, as this can cause damage to the regulator diaphragm.
4. Never store a propane(LP) cylinder indoors or in the vicinity of any gas burning appliances.
5. Protect the cylinder valve, and handle it with care.
6. Be sure that the shut-off valve is closed tightly after each use.
7. Be sure to protect the POL fitting from damage when disconnected. Damage to this fitting can lead to leaks.
8. Never connect an unregulated cylinder to the heater. Always use the hose and regulator supplied.
9. Never use any other hose and regulator.
10. Do not subject the cylinder to excessive heat.
WARNING: EXTREMELY HOT DURING OPERATION. DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL COMPONENTS
WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP GASOLINE AND ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AWAY
FROM HEATER.
NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A FUEL
SOURCE.
DO NOT DIRECT HEATER DISCHARGE TOWARDS ANY PROPANE CYLINDER LOCATED WITHIN
20 FEET OF THE HEATER.

LP CHARACTERISTICS:

1. Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and pools in low areas.
2. In its natural state, propane has no odor, but for safety an odorant that smells like rotten cabbage is added.
3. Contact of LP gas with the skin can cause freeze burns.
4. Heater is manufactured for use with LP gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any other gas. Such
modifications are dangerous and will void your warranty.
5. When heater is not in use, LP supply must be shut OFF.
The amount of LP gas used by this heater varies. The two factors that will determine this are as follows:
1. The amount of gas in the LP cylinder,
2. The temperature of the LP cylinder and surrounding area.
