OPERATING PRECAUTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. This is a propane, direct-fired, forced air heater. It’s intended use is primarily temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. 2. 3. 4. Propane is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a connection or fitting, it sinks to the floor, collecting 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.
