We cannot foresee every use which may be
made of our heaters. Check with your local
re 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.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Direct-Fired
means that all of the combustion products
enter the heated space. Even though this
heater operates very close to 100% combus-
tion efciency, it still produces small amounts
of carbon monoxide. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others.
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 can fade. Propane gas may be present
even though no odor exists.
This is a propane, direct-red heater. Propane
is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a
connection or tting, it sinks to the floor, col-
lecting there with the surrounding air, forming
a potentially explosive mixture. Obviously,
propane leaks should be avoided, so set up
the propane supply with utmost care. Read
Propane/LP Safety, page 4 for additional
information about detecting propane leaks.
Leak check new connections or reconnections
with a soap and water solution and follow all
connection instructions herein. Also, ask your
propane dealer for advice on the propane ap-
plication and supply installation and ask them
to check it if there are any questions.
When the heater is to be operated in the pres-
ence of other people the user is responsible
for properly acquainting those present with
the safety precautions and instructions, and
of the hazards involved.
Make certain you read and understand all warn-
ings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
1. Check the heater thoroughly for damage.
DO NOT operate a damaged heater.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Continued
2. DO NOT modify the heater or operate a
heater which has been modied from its
original condition.
3. Use only propane/LP gas.
4. Use only VAPOR WITHDRAWAL pro-
pane supply. The propane cylinder must
be arranged for vapor-withdrawal, in
accordance with the Compress Gas As-
sociations, Small Propane Bottle Assem-
bly. If there is any question about vapor
withdrawal, ask your propane dealer.
5. Never use the heater if the ballast weight
is not assembled onto the base. The base
must be weighted to avoid tipping.
6.
Use only the factory preset regulator provided
with the heater. Use only replacement pres-
sure regulators specied in this manual.
7. If used, inspect the hose before each
use of the heater. If it is evident there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is
cut, it must be replaced prior to the heater
being put into operation. Use replacement
hose assembly kit 100427-01 (see Acces-
sories, page 11).
8. If used, check hose connections for leaks
prior to operation.
9. This heater is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY,
even so, make sure that there is ample
fresh air ventilation. Do not use in build-
ings, garages or other enclosed spaces.
10. If at any time gas odor is detected, IMME-
DIATELY DISCONTINUE operation until
the source of gas has been located and
corrected. Read Propane Safety, page 4
for additional information about detecting
propane leaks.
11. Install the heater such that it is not directly
exposed to water spray, rain and/or drip-
ping water.
12. Maintain minimum clearance to people or
normal combustible material (like paper)
of 3.6 ft. (1100 mm) from top and 2 ft.
(609 mm) from the reflector.
13. Operate only on a stable, level surface.
14. Do not spray aerosols near the heater
during use or shortly thereafter.
15. Do not clean heater with combustible or cor-
rosive cleaners. Use warm, soapy water.
16. Check control compartment burners and
circulation air passageways for free air
passage, make sure that there are no
obstructions. These areas are a com-
mon location for spider webs, which can
present a dangerous condition, damage
the heater and render it unsafe for use.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner, and circu-
lating air passageways of heater
clean. Inspect these areas of
heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a
qualied service person.
CAUTION: You must check
and keep burner/venturi tubes
clean of insect and insect nest. A
clogged tube can lead to a re.
WARNING: Failure to keep
the primary air opening(s) of
the burner(s) clean may result in
sooting and property damage.
ODS/PILOT AND BURNER
Use a vacuum cleaner, pressurized air, or
small, soft bristled brush to clean.
BURNER PILOT AIR INLET
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-
vides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes
clear of dust, dirt, and lint. Clean these air inlet
holes prior to each heating season. Blocked
air holes will create soot. We recommend that
you clean the unit every three months during
operation and have heater inspected yearly
by a qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust
and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend
using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI.
Your local computer store, hardware store,
or home center may carry compressed air in
a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the
blow position. If using compressed air in a
can, please follow the directions on the can.
If you don't follow directions on the can, you
could damage the pilot assembly.
Always keep the heater area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Keep the vent areas (slots in the bottom and the
top at the front of heater) clear at all times.
Visually inspect the pilot flame and burner
periodically during use. The burner should
be bright orange without a noticeable flame.
If the burner has a noticeable flame, cleaning
may be required. Use the following procedure
to inspect burner assembly.
It is necessary to periodically check the burner
orice and burner venturi tube to make sure
they are clear of insects, nests or spider webs
that may accumulate over time. A clogged
tube can lead to a re.
1. Allow heater to thoroughly cool before
performing any maintenance.
2.
Turn control knob to the OFF position and re-
move disposable 1 lb. cylinder from heater.
3. Remove four screws securing burner as-
sembly to base assembly (see Figure 3,
page 5).
4. Remove burner assembly from base as-
sembly.
5. Inspect interior of burner assembly for
accumulation of dust, lint or spider webs.
If necessary, clean interior with a vacuum
cleaner or apply air pressure. Do not
damage any components within burner
assembly when you are cleaning.
6. Inspect and clean main burner orice by
using a vacuum or apply air pressure at
orice opening.
7. Inspect and clean pilot (mounted to
bracket) by using a vacuum or apply air
pressure through the air holes in the pilot
(see Figure 4).
WARNING: Never use nee-
dles, wires, or similar cylindrical
objects to clean the pilot to avoid
