DYNA-GLO PROPANE FORCED AIR CONSTRUCTION HEATERS

This is a direct-red forced air construction heater for either indoor construction or outdoor use. Its intended

use is primarily the temporary heating of buildings or structures under construction, alteration or repair. All the

products of combustion generated by the heater are forced through the heater and released into the area being

heated. This heater operates at approximately 99%+ combustion efciency but still produces a small amount

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.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products in specic applications.

Your local authority can advise you about these.

IMPORTANT: READ THIS USER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE TRYING

TO OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS HEATER. IMPROPER USE OF THIS HEATER CAN CAUSE

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM FIRE, EXPLOSION AND CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER

UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
