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.
IMPORTANT: Read this User’s Manual carefully and completely before
attempting to operate, assemble, or service this heater. Improper use
of the heater can cause serious injury or death from fire,explosion and
carbon monoxide poisoning. Every possible circumstance that may
involve a hazard cannot be anticipated. The warnings in this manual and
attached to the unit are therefore not all-inclusive. If a procedure, work
method or operating technique not specifically recommended by BE
Pressure is used, you must be sure it is safe for you and others. You
should also insure that equipment will not be damaged or made unsafe
by the operating or maintenance method you choose.
This is a direct-fired, forced-air construction heater for either indoor or
outdoor use. It’s intended use is primarily for the temporary heating of
buildings under construction, alteration or repair. All of the products
of combustion generated by this heater are forced through the heater
and released into the area being heated. This heater operates at
approximately 98%+ combustion efficiency, but still produces small
amounts of carbon monoxide. Humans can tolerate small amounts of
carbon monoxide for short periods. Carbon monoxide can build up in a
heated space, and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
poisoning or death.
You must provide the propane gas and cylinder(s). Use this heater only
with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. Refer to Chapter 5 of
the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas ,
ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department will have this booklet.
