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.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than oth-
ers. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headaches, 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 may fade. Propane 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
this heater.
