PROPANE CONSTRUCTION HEATER
30,000 BTU/Hr CANADIAN
The heater is designed for use as a construction
heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7/
CGA2.14. Other standards govern the use of
fuel gases and heating products for specific
uses. Your local authority can advise you
about these. The primary purpose of construc-
tion heaters is to provide temporary heating of
buildings under construction, alteration or re-
pair. 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 our heaters. Check with your local
fire safety authority if you have questions
about heater use.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases
and heat producing products for specific

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some
people are more affected by carbon monox-
ide than others. Early signs of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-
aches, 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 heater serviced.

Propane Gas: 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.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to safe and proper operation of
this heater.
• Install and use heater with care. Follow
all local ordinances and codes. In the ab-
sence of local ordinances and codes, re-
fer to the Standard for Storage and Han-
dling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/
NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas Installa-
tion Code, CAN/CGA B149.2. This in-
structs on the safe storage and handling
of propane gases.
• Use only the electrical voltage and fre-
quency specified on model plate.
• The electrical connections and ground-
ing of the heater shall follow the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Ca-
nadian Electric Code, Part 1.
• Electrical grounding instructions — This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle or extension cord.
• Use only a three-prong, grounded exten-
sion cord.
• Use only the hose and factory preset
regulator provided with the heater.
• Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.
• Provide adequate ventilation. Before using
heater, provide at least a 0.09 m 2 (1 ft 2 )
opening of fresh, outside air. This heater
produces carbon monoxide, which is listed
by the State of California as a reproductive
toxin under Proposition 65.
• For indoor use only. Do not use heater
outdoors.
• Do not use heater in occupied dwellings
or in living or sleeping quarters.
• Do not use heater in basement or below

air. If a leak occurs, propane gas will sink
to the lowest possible level.
