Safety Information
2
The products described in this manual are
propane direct-red, forced air heaters. Propane
forced air heaters are primarily intended for
use for temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair. Direct-red
means that all of the combustion products of the
heater enter the heated space. This appliance
is rated at 98% combustion efciency, but does
produce small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation
in accordance with the instructions in this manual
can result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a
physician before using this heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the u. Symptoms of improper
ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth
Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. These include: pregnant women,
those with heart or lung problems, anemia or those
under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE
PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary
heating of adequately ventilated buildings or
structures under construction, alteration or
repair! Provide at least a three square foot
(2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for
every 100,000 Btu / Hr heater rating. Refer to
“Ventilation” on page 8 for further instructions.
WHAT TO DO IF THE SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT:
–DO NOT attempt to light the heater.
–Extinguish any open ame.
–Shut off gas to heater.
–If odor continues, contact your local gas
supplier or re department.

any electric device that can cause a spark.
–Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbors phone. Follow the gas suppliers
instructions.
–If you can not reach your gas supplier, call
the re department.
–Service must be done by a qualied
service agency.
NEVER store or use gasoline or other ammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this heater.
NEVER store
a propane (LP) cylinder not
connected to this heater in the vicinity of this heater.
NEVER
connect heater to an unregulated gas supply.
NEVER
obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. (The front and rear of heater).

Operation
Propane Supply / Information:
Propane (LP)
This heater is not supplied with a propane cylinder.
Use only an approved propane cylinder.
LP Characteristics
– Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier
than air and pools in low areas.
– In its natural state, propane has no odor, but
for your safety an odor that smells like rotten
cabbage has been added.
– Contact of propane (LP) gas with the skin can
cause freeze burns.
– Heater is manufactured for use with propane
gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any
other gas. Such modications are dangerous
and will void the warranty.
– When heater is not in use, LP Cylinder must be
turned OFF.
– Be sure that the LP Cylinder is located on a
level and stable surface.
– DO NOT use this heater in a basement or
below ground level. Propane is heavier than
air and will always seek the lowest level. If you
suspect a leak, shut off the valve at the LP
Cylinder immediately.
The Propane (LP) cylinder must also be
equipped with the following
– A collar to protect the gas valve.
– A shut-off valve terminating a LP cylinder valve
outlet as specied in the American National
Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve
Outlets and Inlets Connections.
– A safety relief valve having direct
communications with the vapor space of the LP
cylinder.
– The heater must operate on vapor withdrawal
from the operating cylinder.
The amount of Propane (LP) used with this
heater varies. Both factors are
– The amount of gas in the cylinder of LP.
– The temperature of the LP tank and its
surroundings.
– Always keep LP cylinder fastened and upright.
– Avoid tipping the LP cylinder on its side when
connected to a regulator, since this may
cause damage to diaphragm in the regulator.
– Handle valves with care.
– Never connect an unregulated LP cylinder to
a construction heater.
– DO NOT subject LP cylinder to excessive heat.
– Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the LP
cylinder after each use.
– All ttings must be protected when
disconnected from the LP cylinder.
– Never store an LP cylinder inside a building or
in the vicinity of an gas burning appliances.

Operation
Pre-Lighting Instructions:
Connecting the LP Cylinder
ALL NEW LP CYLINDERS MUST BE PURGED
BEFORE THE FIRST FILLING.
– Turn heater gas valve knob and LP cylinder
valve to OFF position.
– LP cylinder valve equipped with old style
tting has LEFT HANDED THREADS. Turn
tting CLOCKWISE to loosen. Protect this
tting when disconnected from LP cylinder.
– Have your LP cylinder lled by your local
propane gas supplier.
– Some LP cylinders have a bleed-OFF valve.
This valve should be inspected for leaks after
each lling of the LP cylinder. Turn the valve
clockwise to close.
– Fasten full propane tank and connect
proper tting to LP cylinder valve by turning
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
– With heater gas valve knob still in OFF
position turn ON the LP cylinder valve and
check for leaks with soap solution.
Checking For Leaks
– To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution
of dish soap and water. Apply this solution
to all gas connections. If bubbles appear,
there is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off
the gas supply, and re-connect the leaking
connection. If the leak persists after several
tries, contact Pinnacle Customer Service at
(800)-641-6996.
– The installation of this heater must meet all
local codes and/or gas utility requirements. In
the absence of local codes, the National Fuel
Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed.
– The minimum clearances to any combustible
construction materials must be maintained at
all times (See Page 2).
– Inspect the heater before each use, and at
least annually by a qualied service person.
Purging and filling of the
LP cylinders must be
performed by personnel who have been
thoroughly trained in accepted LP gas
industry procedures. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in explosion, fire,
severe personal injury or death.

well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children,
and in accordance with the Standard for Storage
and Handling of Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA
58 - latest edition and Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1. The plastic valve
plug or valve cover supplied with the cylinder
must be re-installed on the valve to protect the
fitting from damage.
NOTE: Installation and repair of this heater
should be done by a qualified service person.
