Operating Instructions; Preparing For Operation - DeWalt DXH125FAV Guide D'utilisation

• The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural 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 out 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.
• 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.
