The heater is designed for use as a construction
heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7/CGA
2.14. 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 construction
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 AU-
THORITY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
ABOUT HEATER USE.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases
and heat producing products for specific
uses. Your local authorities can advise you
about these.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poi-
soning resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, the heater may not be working prop-
erly. Get fresh air at once! Check for
proper ventilation and have heater serviced.
WARNINGS
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 may fade. Propane gas may be present
even though no odor exists.
Natural Gas: Natural gas has a distinctive
odor. This odor helps you detect a natural
gas leak. However, the odor may fade. Natu-
ral gas may be present even though no odor
exists.

warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to safe and proper operation of
