Installation Instructions - DeWalt DXH45LP 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.
WARNING: RISK OF ASPHYXIATION
• Do not use in unventilated areas.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
• Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the combustion air
requirements of the heater being used.
• Refer to the specification section of the heater's manual, heater dataplate,
or contact the factory to determine combustion air ventilation
requirements of the heater.
• Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper combustion.
• Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning leading to
serious injury or death. Symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning
can include headaches, dizziness and difficulty in breathing.
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 and natural
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.
