Symptom ofcarbon monoxide poisoning can include headachesdizziness and difficulty in breathing.FUEL GAS ODORLP gas and natural gas have man-made odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air you should smell for the gasodor low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION!• Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do notoperate any electrical switches. Do not pull any powersupply or extension cords. Do not light matches or any othersource of flame. Do not use your telephone.• Get everyone out of the building and away from the areaimmediately.• Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supplyvalves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the meter ifyou use natural gas.• Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in lowareas.

Odors present in animal confinementbuildings can mask fuel gas odor.• The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas iscolorless and the intensity of its odor can fade undersome circumstances.• If there is an underground leak, the movement of gasthrough the soil can filter the odorant.• Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at differentlevels. Since Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, theremay be more odor at lower levels.• Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If youcontinue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small, treat itas a serious leak.

MODELS170-F/SPC-170SIZE AND CAPACITYOF PROPANE CYLINDERSThe charts below show the approximate size of the cylinderrequired for these heaters. To use the chart:1. Select the lowest air temperature expected (at thebottom of the chart).2. Move straight up to time of operation desired (left sideof the chart).3. Read the cylinder size required.All heaters should have:full cylindersgood air circulationno frost on cylindersTECHNICAL INFORMATIONHOW MUCH HEAT DO I REQUIRE?For economy, it is important to match input to thatrequired. But heat requirements often vary. For example,it usually takes a lot more heat to get things warm than itdoes to keep them that way. Likewise, outside air temperatureususally changes during the day so you may needmore heat at night than you do in the daytime. Anapproximation of the heat required can be found by usingthe chart below.BTU'S PER HOUR REQUIRED170-F/SPC-170Cubic feetTemperature Rise Required ( o F)*of space tobe heated 20 o 30 o 40 o 50 o5,000 14,000 20,000 27,999 34,0007,000 19,000 28,000 38,000 47,00010,000 27,000 40,000 54,000 67,00015,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,00020,000 54,000 80,000 107,000 133,00030.000 80,000 120,000 160,000 200,00050,000 133,000 200,000 266,000 333,000WARNING: When using a thermostat controled heater, itsexit area should be protected from personnel and warningsposted of sudden startup.Recommended Minimum Gauge for Cord ExtensionsWire Gauge Chart A.W.G.NamePlate 120VCord Length in FeetAmps. 25 50 100 1505-6 18 16 14 126-8 18 16 12 108-12 18 14 12 1010-12 16 14 10 812-14 16 12 10 8Page -6-
