PROPANE/LP SUPPLY
Propane/LP gas and propane/LP tank(s) are to be furnished by the user.
The propane/LP cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for the propane/LP gas cylin-
ders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
Use this heater only with a propane/LP vapor withdrawal supply
system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and/or CAN/CGA B149.2.
Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.
The amount of propane/LP gas ready for use from propane/LP tanks
varies. Two factors decide this amount:
1. The amount of propane/LP gas in tank(s)
2. The temperature of tank(s)
This heater is designed for use with a 20 or 40 pound refillable
propane/LP cylinder when used as a self contained heating system
(with hose and regulator). Larger tanks may be used if installed in
a permanent gas supply system.
The propane/LP cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve, and a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD).

LOCATING HEATER
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances

ances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall.
CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents.
These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater where impurities (such
as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.)
in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.
