SAFE USE REQUIREMENTS
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD: Using this device in an enclosed space can cause death. Under no
circumstances should you use this appliance in trailers, tents, boats, mobile homes, or any other similarly

materials. Always protect the device from direct drafts and store it in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep this device away from children at all times.
• External parts can get extremely hot due to the internal burner of this device. Always use care
when handling or moving this device.
• If you smell gas at any point, power off the device immediately and move the device and propane
tank to a well-ventilated outdoor area away from any sources of heat.
• Never attempt to pick up or move the appliance while it is in operation. Always extinguish the
burner, allow the device to cool, and disengage the propane tank before moving the device.
• Always use the approved gas regulator that came with the device. Do not use a different gas
regulator or any kind of adapter.
• Always check this device thoroughly for any signs of gas leaks before using it.
Checking for gas leaks
• Ensure that all connections are secure and that the propane tank connection is fully tightened
before turning on the device.
• Never check for gas leaks with an open flame or pilot light.
• To check for gas leaks, coat all connections that should be sealed with soapy water. If bubbles
appear, you will need to tighten the connection before testing again.
• Inspect your water heater regularly for signs of wear, leaks, or any evidence of incorrect operation.
If you notice issues such as burner flaring, lighting issues, damage to connections, or leaks from
the seals or gas controls, contact Hike Crew right away for help. Do not, under any circumstances,
attempt to repair these issues on your own.
• To check if there is propane remaining in your propane tank, fully remove and disconnect it from
the rear of the device. Hold it fully upright and vertical, then shake it from side to side. If you hear
a sound or feel liquid moving around inside, there is still propane in the tank.
• Always change propane tanks outside in a well-ventilated area free from people, animals, and
ignition sources (flames, pilot lights, electrical equipment with heaters or heating elements, etc.).
