WARNING
Risk of explosion if a unit burning propane gas is installed in a pit or other low spot. Propane is heavier than air. Do not
install the heater using propane in pits or other locations where gas might collect. Consult your local building code officials to
determine installation requirements and specific installation restrictions of the heater relative to propane storage tanks and filling
equipment. Installation must meet the requirements for the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gases,
ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition) in the U.S., or CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition) in Canada. Consult local codes and fire protection
authorities about specific installation restrictions.
