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 repair. 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 uses. Your local
authorities can advise you about these.
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.
Install and use heater with care. Follow all local
ordinances and codes. In the absence of local
ordinances and codes, refer to the Standard for Storage
and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA
58 and the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA
B149.2. This instructs on the safe storage and handling
of propane gases.
