Points to Remember!
■ Propane gas and natural gas have a distinctive
odor. Learn to recognize these odors. (Reference
"Fuel Gas Odor" and "Odor Fading" sections
above.
■ If you have not been properly trained in repair and
service of propane gas and natural gas fueled
heaters, then do not attempt to light the heater,
perform service or repairs, or make any adjust-
ments to the heater on a propane gas or natural
gas fuel system.
■ Even if you are not properly trained in the service
and repair of radiant heaters, ALWAYS be con-
sciously aware of the odors of propane gas and
natural gas.
■ A periodic "sniff test" around the heater or at the
heater's joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a
good safety practice under any conditions. If you
smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT
YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO
NOT WAIT!
