The heater is designed and approved for use as a construction heater in accordance with StandardANSIZ83.7. CSA 2.14. Check with your local fire safety authority if you have questions about applications.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat-producing products in specific applications. Your local authority can advise you about these.
The intended use of this heater is the temporary heating of buildings or structures under construction, alteration, or repair.

ASPHYXIATION HAZARD

Do not use this heater for heating human living quarters.
Do not use in unventilated areas.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the combustion air requirements of the heater being used.
Refer to the specification section of the heater’s manual, heater data plate, or contact ProCom Heating, Inc. to determine combustion air ventilation requirements of the heater.
Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper combustion.
Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning leading to serious injury or death. Symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning can include headaches dizziness and difficulty in breathing.

1. Keep children and animals away from the heater.
2. Never operate a heater while sleeping or unattended.
3. Check the heater thoroughly for damage. Do not operate a damaged heater.
4. Do not modify the heater or operate a heater that has been modified from its original condition.
5. Use only propane gas.
6. Use only vapor withdrawal propane sup-ply. If there is any question about vapor withdrawal, ask your propane dealer.
7. For either indoor or outdoor use. Adequate ventilation must be provided. Provide minimum openings of 1 sq ft (0.093 m2) near the floor and 1 sq ft. (0.093 m2) near the ceiling. Do not use inside house, camper, tent, vehicle, or any type of unvented or enclosed area.
8. Do not use the heater in the basement or below ground level.
9. Before connecting the heater to the propane tank, make sure the heater regulator knob is in the OFF position. Always connect and light heater in areas free of open flames.
10. Mount the propane cylinders vertically (shutoff valve up). Secure them from falling or being knocked over and protect them from damage.
11. IMPORTANT: Use only the hose and regulator assembly provided with the tank top heater. Inspect hose assembly before each use. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, replace it with the hose assembly listed on the parts list before using the heater. Hose and regulator must be protected from damage.
12. The heater burner must be at least 2 ft. (0.61 m) above the floor. Always attach to a propane tank in an upright position. Never operate a heater on its side or attach to the propane tank in a horizontal position. This could lead to dangerous flare-ups or fire. Do not direct heat toward propane cylinders within 20 ft (6 m). 13. Maintain minimum clearance from nor-mal combustible materials (like paper) as follows:

Sides	3 ft. (0.91 m)
Top	4 ft. (1.3 m)
Floor to Bottom of tank	0″
Floor to Bottom of a burner	2 ft. (0.6 m)

Locate 10 ft. (3 m) from canvas or plastic tarpaulins or similar coverings and secure them to prevent flapping or movement due to wind action.
14. The appliance area is kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
15. If at any time gas odor is detected, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE operation until the source of gas has been located and corrected.
16. Install the heater such that it is not directly exposed to water spray, rain, dripping water, and/or wind.
17. Position the heater properly before use. Oper-ate only on a stable, level surface.
18. Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults and children must observe clearances to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
19. Do not move, handle or service while hot or burning. Do not attach or remove a hot or operating heater from the propane tank.
20. Before each use, check the heater for leaks. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks.
21. Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure the propane tank valve is clean. Check the “0” ring on the heater inlet fuel valve connector for damage before each use. Replace if worn or damaged.
22. Use only in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and CSA 8149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
This appliance is not for use at altitudes above 2,000 feet.

VENTILATION

WARNING: Air Quality Hazard

Do not use this heater for heating human living quarters.
Use of direct-fired heaters in the construction environment can result in exposure to levels of CO, CO2, and NO2 considered to be hazardous to health and potentially life-threatening.
Do not use in unventilated areas
Know the signs of CO and CO2 poisoning
o Headaches, stinging eyes
o Dizziness, disorientation
o Difficulty breathing, feels of being suffocated
Proper ventilation air exchange (OSHA 29 CFR 1926.57) to support combustion and maintain acceptable air quality shall be provided in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926.154, ANSI A10.10 Safety Requirements for Temporary and Portable Space Heating Devices and Equipment used in the Construction Industry or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes CSA B149.1.
o Periodically monitor levels of CO, CO2, and NO2 existing at the construction site – at the minimum at the start of the shift and after 4 hours.
o Provide ventilation air exchange, either natural or mechanical, as required to maintain acceptable indoor air qualityUSA 8-Hr Time-weighted average
