NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
• Do not take any action that could
ignite the fuel gas. Do not operate
any electrical switches. Do not pull any
power supply or extension cords. Do
not light matches or any other source
of flame. Do not use your telephone.
• Get everyone out of the building and
away from the area immediately.
• Close all propane (LP) gas tank or
cylinder fuel supply valves, or the main
fuel supply valve located at the meter if
you use natural gas.
• Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air
and may settle in low areas. When you
have reason to suspect a propane (LP)
gas leak, keep out of all low areas.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call
your fuel gas supplier and your fire
department. Do not re-enter the
building or area.
• Stay out of the building and away
from the area until declared safe by
the firefighters and your fuel gas
supplier.
• FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person
and the firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the building
and area before you return. Properly
trained service people must repair any
leaks, check for further leakages, and
then relight the appliance for you.
ODOR FADING - NO ODOR
DETECTED
• Some people cannot smell well. Some
people cannot smell the odor of the
man-made chemical added to propane
(LP) gas. You must determine if you
can smell the odorant in these fuel
gases.
• Learn to recognize the odor of
propane (LP) gas. Local propane (LP)
gas dealers will be more than happy to
give you a scratch and sniff pamphlet.
Use it to become familiar with the fuel
gas odor.
• Smoking can decrease your ability
to smell. Being around an odor for
a period of time can affect your
sensitivity to that particular odor.
Odors present in animal confinement
buildings can mask fuel gas odor.
• The odorant in propane (LP) gas
is colorless and the intensity of
its odor can fade under some
circumstances.
• If there is an underground leak, the
movement of gas through the soil can
filter the odorant.
• Propane (LP) gas odor may differ
in intensity at different levels. Since
propane (LP) gas is heavier than air,
there may be more odor at lower
levels.
• Always be sensitive to the slightest
gas odor. If you continue to detect
any gas odor, no matter how small,
treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as discussed previously.
ATTENTION - CRITICAL
POINTS TO REMEMBER!
• Propane (LP) gas has a distinctive
odor. Learn to recognize these odors.
(Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor
Fading sections above.
• Even If you are not property trained in
the service and repair of the heater,
ALWAYS be consciously aware of the
odors of propane (LP) gas.
• If you have not been properly trained
in repair and service of propane (LP)
gas then do not attempt to light
heater, perform service or repairs, or
make any adjustments to the heater
on the propane (LP) gas fuel system.
• A periodic sniff test around the heater
or at the heater's joints; i.e. hose,
connections, etc., is a good safety
practice under any conditions. If you
smell even a small amount of gas,
CONTACT YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER
IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT!
