After all four Studs (1-1, 1-2) are in place, rest that side of the assembly on the ground, and raise the other side.
Install four Studs (1-1, 1-2) on the other side of the roof, as explained in step #2, above.
Make sure all parts assembled up to this point are firmly joined together. Tap parts together gently with a rubber mallet (sold separately) if needed.

Anchoring Frame

WARNING

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Contact local utility companies to ensure that the installation area is free of pipes, cables, and other hazards BEFORE installing anchors or choosing installation area.

Position the frame in the desired installation location.
The location must be flat, level, and stable with good locations for the Anchors (14-1).
Level the frame end-to-end and side-to-side.
Measure the width of the frame at front and back, it should be 10 2 wide. The distance diagonally in one direction should be equal to the distance diagonally in the other direction. If any measurements do not match, adjust the frame and retake measurements until they are equal within a reasonable tolerance.
Note: If measurements cannot be made correct, then parts may not be seated together properly.
Once the frame is positioned, levelled, and squared, anchor the four Corner Legs (23) as follows:

a. Thread the Anchor (14-1) into the ground near the Corner Leg (23) until the top of the Anchor only extends about 3 above the ground.
Note: Verify that there are no utility lines nearby before driving anchors. If there are rocks or other obstacles, holes may need to be drilled first to allow proper anchoring.
b. Insert a Cable (14-2) through the anchor and through the Corner Leg (23), as shown.
c. Pull the Cable (14-2) tight and secure it using a Cable Clamp (14-3). Tighten the two nuts on the Cable Clamp (14-3) evenly to secure the Cable (14-2).
d. Repeat for all four Anchors (14-1) and Corner Legs (23).

Securing Ratchet Tie-downs

Note: Use these instructions when installing Door, Back, and Roof cover.

Thread the strap through the spindle of the Ratchet (22) as far as it will go.
Insert the S-hook of the Ratchet into the hole in the Corner Leg (23).
Lift and lower the Ratchet’s handle to wind and tighten the strap onto the spindle.
Excessive tightening will damage straps, Covers, and Corner Legs.

Releasing Ratchet Tie-downs

Depress the spring-loaded bar on the handle.
Open ratchet handle completely.
Unwind the strap.

Door and Back Cover Installation

Note: When installing Door and Back cover, ensure that pre-installed straps are not pulled out of the Hem.

Features and Benefits

The Daytona [DJ3000] 3 Ton Professional Super Duty Jack was engineered for automotive professionals. The Model [DJ3000] features Advanced Rapid Pump® technology for fast lift times and exceptionally long life.

Long-Life Advanced Rapid Pump® Hydraulics

The hydraulic power unit is designed to provide over 5000 lift cycles with minimal wear.

An Integrated Magnetic Filtration (IMF) System prevents contaminants from damaging pump pistons and other high pressure components. Precision-engineered high performance seals along with a sealed non-vented reservoir ensure longer fluid life with no leaks.

Rapid Pump technology delivers twice the lift force with each stroke to lift heavy loads in half the time of conventional hydraulic systems. The pistons are continuously force-loaded to keep the pump handle in ready position during use. Load limiters with a bypass valve protect the pump if an overweight load is attempted.

Low-Profile/High Lift Saddle

The Low Profile design gives you a minimum height of just 3.75 for working with low-clearance vehicles. The extended lift arm provides High Lift for a maximum height of 23.125 for plenty of working space when properly supported. The big 5 x 5 saddle supports lift points solidly without danger of slipping. The saddle can be removed to install lifting accessories (sold separately.)

Super Duty Strength and Durability

The Daytona Super Duty Professional Jack chassis is constructed from all-welded steel plate with I-beam reinforcement for extraordinary strength and reliability. Contoured steel wheels and casters roll smoothly with less surface area contact for exceptional mobility. Fully lubricated with dual bearings and easy access grease fittings.

Effortless Operation

Get easy leverage and positioning with the extra long foam-protected lift handle. All moving components are factory lubed for smooth action with easily serviceable grease fittings in the lift mechanism. A locking spring mechanism keeps the handle in place during use.

The Rapid Pump® system gives you easy-twist universal joint hydraulic release for precise, controlled lowering.

Foundation Installation

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

IMPORTANT–READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Prior to assembly, a proper foundation must be laid. The greenhouse must be properly supported to help prevent property damage and injury in the event of strong winds or inclement weather. Wind and ground conditions may vary from site to site and may affect the practicality and effectiveness of anchoring methods substantially. If you have any
doubt regarding the stability of the foundation you are to use, consult a professional.
It is always your responsibility to ensure that the greenhouse is properly anchored. Harbor Freight Tools cannot be held responsible for personal injury, damage to the greenhouse, or other property damage that occurs as a result of improperly anchoring the greenhouse.
Be certain to check with local authorities to obtain all required building permits and to familiarize yourself with any building codes that may apply.
Decide on a location for the greenhouse. The location should optimally be a level, well-lit area that is sheltered from the wind. The door of the greenhouse should not open towards the prevailing wind, if possible.

Concrete Anchor Foundation

This foundation will be assembled out of 4 x 4 treated lumber, hardware, and prefabricated concrete anchors (none provided).
Assemble the 4 x 4 pieces in the dimensions shown in the diagram below. The wood will need to be trimmed to fit. Make certain that the assembly is square and level.
The diagonal dimensions, from outside corner to outside corner, should be 123 3/4″ each.
Securely assemble the frame together using proper hardware.
Dig a hole for each of the concrete anchors in the positions shown. The hole should be slightly oversized and should be deep enough so that the frame will rest almost on the ground when installed.
Carefully place the anchors in the holes, and place the frame on the anchors. Use a level on the frame to make sure that the anchors are sunk to the proper depth.
If any anchors need to be raised, partially fill the hole under the anchor with sand or gravel.
Once the frame is level, secure it to the anchors. Fill up the holes the rest of the way with the earth you removed previously.
Optional: For convenience, you may fill the frame at this point with a proper fill material, such as gravel (not included).
There are four Floor Plates to position on the foundation; the Front Floor Plate (17), the Rear Floor Plate (16), and two Side Floor Plates (34). (See Figure G on page 8.)
Match the length of each of the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with the appropriate length of each edge of the base. Place the Front Floor Plate (17) on the side that the door will face.

NOTE: Position the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with their outer edges overhanging the outer edges of the frame, as shown below. Do not secure the Floor Plates to the Frame at this time.

Treated Wood Base Foundation

The wood base will be assembled out of 4 x 6 and 2 x 12 treated lumber, hardware (including galvanized lag bolts/deck screws), and fill material, such as gravel (none provided).
Assemble the 2 x 12 pieces in the dimensions shown in the diagram below. The wood will need to be trimmed to fit. Make certain that the assembly is square and level. The diagonal dimensions, from outside corner to outside corner, should be 123 3 /4″ each. Also, use a level to ensure that the base is even. If needed, fill under sections of the base to make sure it is level.
Assemble the 4 x 6 pieces on top of the base you just assembled, as shown in the cross-section below. Fill the base with the fill material up to the top of the 4 x 6’s.
There are four Floor Plates to position on the foundation; the Front Floor Plate (17), the Rear Floor Plate (16), and two Side Floor Plates (34). (See Figure G on page 8.)
Match the length of each of the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with the appropriate length of each edge of the base. Place the Front Floor Plate (17) on the side that the door will face.

NOTE: Position the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with their outer edges overhanging the outer edges of the base, as shown below. Do not secure the Floor Plates to the Base at this time.

Concrete Slab Foundation

Constructing a Wooden Sill

The greenhouse must be attached to a wood sill, and not directly to a concrete slab. Use four 4″ wide by 2″ thick wooden boards (not provided) to construct a sill.
Cut the four boards to the proper dimensions shown.
Place the four boards to form a rectangle on a level floor surface.
Exact dimensions may vary slightly. Lay the base components out together, square them, then take actual measurements. Both diagonal measurements, from outer corner
to outer corner, should be 123 3/4″ each.
Secure the boards together at the corners using wood screws (not provided).

Attaching the Sill to the Concrete Slab

A concrete slab foundation upon which The greenhouse will be positioned will help to ensure stability. The slab can be slightly oversize.
Drill two ¼″ holes through each of the four boards.
Next, use the two predrilled holes in each board as a template to mark the points where eight anchor holes will be drilled in the concrete floor. Then, temporarily remove the sill.
Where previously marked on the concrete floor, drill all eight¼″ diameter, minimum ¼″ deep, anchor holes. Blow the concrete dust out from the drilled holes.
Move the four boards back to the concrete floor surface, and align all eight predrilled holes in the four boards with the eight previously drilled anchor holes. If necessary, level the boards by inserting stainless steel shims (sold separately) between the boards and the concrete floor. Do not exceed ½″ shim thickness.
Secure the four boards to the concrete floor, using eight ¼″ diameter anchor bolts of appropriate length, eight washers, and eight nuts (not provided).

Positioning the Floor Plates on the Sill

There are four Floor Plates to attach to the sill; the Front Floor Plate (17), the Rear Floor Plate (16), and two Side Floor Plates (34). (See Figure G on page 8.)
Match the length of each of the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with the appropriate length of each of the four foundation boards. Place the Front Floor Plate (17) on the side that the door will face.

NOTE: Position the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with their outer edges overhanging the outer edges of the sill, as shown below. Do not secure the Floor Plates to the Sill at this time.

Frame Assembly

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Unless noted otherwise, attach all frame parts using the Bolts (43) and Nuts (52) provided. Tighten nuts only about ¼ ” turn past finger tight; be careful not to overtighten.
Layout all parts by number prior to assembly.
Use an assistant or appropriate support (not included) to keep the partially assembled parts upright during assembly. Use two assistants to assemble the Crown pieces to the rest of the frame.
Assemble on a clear, calm day. Wind will damage the Greenhouse and make assembly difficult.

Assembling the Frame Edges

There are four Corner Studs (1) to be attached to the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34). Attach one Corner Stud (1) on the outside of each corner. Attach an End Cap (47) to the top outer corner of each Corner Stud (1).
Once the four Corner Studs (1) are connected to the Floor Plates (16, 17, 34), drill three pilot holes 1 ½″ through each Floor Plate and into the underlying wood sill or base. Make sure not to drill into any of the hardware used earlier. Then, secure the Floor Plates to the foundation, using three 1 ½″ long wood screws (sold separately) for each Floor Plate.
Attach a Side Ceiling Plate (36) flat against the inside of two Corner Studs (1). Make sure that the gutter on the Side Ceiling Plate is oriented correctly, see Figure G inset. At this point, the completed section of the frame will likely need support.
Attach the Rear Ceiling Plate (21) to the inside of the two Corner Studs (1) that are over the Rear Floor Plate (16). Point the Rear Ceiling Plate’s flange inward. (See Figure G.)
Attach the Left and Right Rear Studs (8,9) to the outside of the Rear Floor Plate (16) and Rear Ceiling Plate (21). Orient them so that the ends slope upwards toward the middle of the greenhouse. (See Figure G.)
Note: The heads of the Bolts (43) fit into the slot on the back of the Stud, holding the Bolts in place during assembly.
Attach the remaining Side Ceiling Plate (36) along the other side, flat against the inside of the Corner Studs (1), with the gutter oriented properly.
At the side of the Greenhouse: Attach the Rear Right and Rear Left Crown Beams (4,5) to the outside of the Crown (35) with the angled edges towards the top. See diagram below, viewed from under the Crown, facing back.
Attach the Front Crown Beams (2,3) to the Crown (35) in the same fashion as the Rear Crown Beams.
Attach an End Cap (47) onto the outer end of each Crown Beam (2-5). Cover the gaps between the Crown Beams (between 2-3 & 4-5) with a Peak Cap (54) in each.
Attach a Corner Bracket (13) at the top of each Corner Stud (1) so that the bracket faces upwards, see diagram below. At the Studs that the Rear Ceiling Plate (21) is connected to, the Bolt (43) holding the Ceiling Plate will need to be removed temporarily while the Bracket is installed between the Rear Ceiling Plate and the Corner Stud.
With two assistants, lift the Crown Assembly and place the Crown Beams (2-5) on top of the Corner Brackets (13).
Attach the remaining Side Ceiling Plate (36) flat against the inside of two Corner Studs (1). Once again, verify that the gutter on the Side Ceiling Plate is oriented correctly, see Figure C inset. At this point, the unit should be more stable.
Place the Gutter Caps (48) onto the ends of the Side Ceiling Plates (36) oriented with a gap in the bottom to allow water to drain out of the gutters.

Assembling the Side and Roof Frames

IMPORTANT: Assemble all parts marked with an asterisk (*) above with an extra Bolt (43) in the slot.
Figure H: Stud and Brace Locations

Attach three Side Vertical Studs (10) to a Side Floor Plate (34) and a Side Ceiling Plate (36). Make sure that they are assembled vertically, there are extra holes for the diagonals. Also, include extra Bolts in the Studs noted above with asterisks. Repeat this step for the remaining Side Floor Plate and Side Ceiling Plate. (See Figure H.)
Attach two Side Diagonal Braces (22) to a Side Floor Plate (34) and a Side Ceiling Plate (36) with the flange facing inward. Use the extra Bolt (43), noted in the caption above, to secure the center portion of each Diagonal Brace (22). Repeat this step for the remaining Side Floor Plate and Side Ceiling Plate. (See Figure H.)
Attach the six Roof Studs (11) between the Crown (35) and the two Side Ceiling Plates (36). Include extra Bolts in the four Studs noted with an asterisk above. (See Figure H.)
Slide the Window Support Beams (15) onto the four Roof Studs (11) that you included extra bolts in, with the predrilled holes on the underside and the flat side facing the Crown (35). Use the extra Bolts (43), to secure the Beam loosely in place. It will need adjustment when installing the window.
Using two Window Screws (45), attach each Window Stop (18) to the Window Support Beam (15) with its tab pointing towards the Crown (35). Both should be on the underside of their Window Support Beam, inside the greenhouse.

Assembling the Front Frame

Attach the Right and Left Doorway Studs (6,7) to the Front Right and Left Crown Beams (2,3) and the Front Floor Plate (17) as shown above. The cutoff corners on the Studs should be at the top and should face away from the center of the greenhouse. (See Figure I and right inset.)
Attach the Front Diagonal Stud (25) to the lower Bolt on the Corner Bracket (13) and bottom of the Front Floor Plate (17). The flange should face inside. (See Figure I.)
Attach the other Front Diagonal Stud (25) in the same way on the opposite side.
Attach a Front Ceiling Plate (23) to the Bolt (43) on the Corner Bracket (13) that is right above the Diagonal-Bracket connection. Connect the other end to the Left Doorway Stud (7). Attach the remaining Front Ceiling Plate (23) between the Corner Bracket (13) and Right Doorway Stud (6). (See Figure I.)
Attach the Top Doorway Beam (12) between the Front Right and Left Crown Beams (2,3). Turn it so that the nicked corners are facing up and the two remaining holes are facing the outside to allow the Door Rail (14) to be attached.
Attach the Vertical Extender (19) to the Front Left Crown Beam (3) using the Long Door Support Bolt (38) and Nut (52), with the Door Support Spacer (39) between the Extender and the Stud. (See Figure I, left inset.)

Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess to evaporate before starting engine. To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.

Engine Oil Change
CAUTION! Oil is very hot during operation and can cause burns. Wait for the engine to cool before changing the oil.

Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.
Close the Fuel Valve.
Place a drain pan (not included) underneath the crankcase’s drain plug.
Remove the drain plug and, if possible, tilt the crankcase slightly to help drain the oil out. Recycle used oil.
Replace the drain plug and tighten it.
Clean the top of the Dipstick and the area around it. Remove the Dipstick by turning it counterclockwise, and wipe it off with a clean, lint-free rag.
Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at the full level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use. The SAE Viscosity Grade chart shows other viscosities to use in different average temperatures.
Thread the dipstick back in clockwise.

NOTICE: Do not run the engine with too little oil. Engine will not start with low or no engine oil.

Air Filter Element Maintenance

Remove the air filter cover and the air filter elements
and check for dirt. Clean as described below.
Cleaning:
• For “paper” filter elements:
To prevent injury from dust and debris, wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,
NIOSH‑approved dust mask/respirator, and heavy-duty work gloves. In a well-ventilated area away from bystanders, use pressurized air to blow dust out of the air filter.
• For foam filter elements: Wash the element in warm water and mild detergent several times. Rinse. Squeeze out excess water and allow it to dry completely. Soak the filter in lightweight oil briefly, then squeeze out the excess oil.
Install the cleaned filter. Secure the Air Cleaner Cover before use.

Spark Plug Maintenance

Spark Plug Maintenance Spark Plug Cap Disconnect the spark plug cap from the end of the plug. Clean out debris from around the spark plug.
Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
Inspect the spark plug:
If the electrode is oily, clean it using a clean, dry rag. If the electrode has been deposited on it, polish it using emery paper. If the white insulator is cracked or chipped, the spark plug needs to be replaced. Use only NHSP ® / Torch® F7TC spark plug.
NOTICE: Using an incorrect spark plug may damage the engine.
When installing a new spark plug, adjust the plug’s gap to the specification on the Technical Specifications chart. Do not pry against the electrode, the spark plug can be damaged.
Install the new spark plug or the cleaned spark plug into the engine. Gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the gasket contacts the cylinder head, then tighten about 1/2-2/3 turn more.
Non-gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the plug contacts the head, then tighten about 1/16 turn more.
NOTICE: Tighten the spark plug properly. If loose, the spark plug will cause the engine to overheat. If overtightened, the threads in the engine block will be damaged.
Apply dielectric spark plug boot protector (not included) to the end of the spark plug and reattach the wire securely.

Storage

When the equipment is to remain idle for longer than 20 days, prepare the Engine for storage as follows:

CLEANING:
Wait for the Engine to cool, then clean the Engine with a dry cloth. NOTICE: Do not clean using water. The water will gradually enter the Engine and cause rust damage. Apply a thin coat of rust preventive oil to all metal parts.
FUEL:
Gasoline Treatment / Draining the Fuel Tank
• To protect the Fuel Tank during storage, fill the tank with fresh gasoline that has been treated with a fuel stabilizer additive. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s
recommendations for use. Refer to “Checking and Filling Fuel” on page 13.
• Aged gasoline that has not been treated with a stabilizer ahead of time must be safely drained away and not run through the Engine.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:
Drain the Fuel Tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before adding fuel.
Do not smoke. Draining the Carburetor
• After closing the Fuel Valve, place an appropriate container under the Carburetor and carefully remove the Drain Bolt from the bottom of the Carburetor Bowl, allowing the fuel to drain completely. Replace the Drain Bolt after draining.
WARNING! To prevent seriously injury and fire, close the Fuel Valve before draining the Carburetor.
LUBRICATION:
a. Change engine oil.
b. Clean out the area around the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug and pour one tablespoon of
engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
c. Replace spark plug, but leave spark plug cap disconnected.
d. Pull Starter Handle to distribute oil in the cylinder. Stop after one or two revolutions when you feel the piston start the compression stroke (when you start to feel resistance).
BATTERY:
Disconnect battery cables (if equipped). Disconnect the negative battery cable first, then the positive battery cable. Recharge batteries monthly while in storage.
STORAGE AREA:
Cover and store in a dry, level, well-ventilated area out of reach of children. Storage area should also be away from ignition sources, such as water heaters, clothes dryers, and furnaces.
NOTICE: During extended storage periods the Engine must be started every 3 months and allowed to run for 15 – 20 minutes or the Warranty is VOID.
AFTER STORAGE:
Before starting the Engine during or after storage, keep in mind that untreated gasoline will deteriorate quickly. Drain the fuel tank and change to fresh fuel if untreated
gasoline has been sitting for a month, if treated gasoline has been sitting beyond the fuel stabilizer’s recommended time period, or if the Engine does not start.

Important Propane Safety Information for You and Your Family

GENERAL HAZARD WARNING:
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THIS HEATER, CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM HAZARDS OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN, ASPHYXIATION, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, AND/OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
ONLY PERSONS WHO CAN UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD USE OR SERVICE THIS HEATER.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE OR HEATER INFORMATION SUCH AS AN INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL, LABELS, ETC. CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER.

WARNING: FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER USE THE HEATER IN SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNER, DUST PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS.

WARNING:
NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE

This Heater is designed and approved for use as a construction heater under ANSI Z83.7.
The intended use is primarily the temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration, or repair.
We cannot anticipate every use which may be made of our heaters.
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLICATIONS.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products in specific applications. Your local authority can advise you about these.

NO FLAMES OR SPARKS! Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY! Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
SHUT OFF THE GAS. Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it is safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it to the right (clockwise).
REPORT THE LEAK. From a neighbor’s home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. If you can’t reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department.
DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING OR AREA until your propane retailer, emergency responder, or qualified service technician determines that it is safe to do so.
GET YOUR SYSTEM CHECKED. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, your propane retailer or a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.

CAN YOU SMELL IT?

Propane smells like rotten eggs, a nk’s spray, or a dead animal. Some people may have difficulty smelling propane due to their age (older people may have a less sensitive sense of smell); a medical condition; or the effects of medication, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.

ODOR LOSS. On rare occasions, propane can lose its odor. Several things can cause this including:

The presence of air, water, or rust in a propane tank or cylinder
The passage of leaking propane through the soil

Since there is a possibility of odor loss or problems with your sense of smell, you should respond immediately to even a faint odor of gas.

PROPANE GAS DETECTORS

Under some circumstances, you may not smell a propane leak. Propane gas detectors sound an alarm if they sense propane in the air. They can provide an additional measure of security. You should consider the purchase of one or more detectors for your home.
GUIDELINES regarding propane gas detectors:

Buy only units that are listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding installation and maintenance.
Never ignore the smell of propane, even if no detector is sounding an alarm.

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE

LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS.
Only a qualified service technician has the training to install, inspect, service, maintain, and repair your appliances. Have your appliances and propane system inspected just before the start of each heating season.

DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY OR REPAIR
valves, regulators, connectors, controls, or other appliance and cylinder/tank parts. Doing so creates the risk of a gas leak that can result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

CO AND YOUR SAFETY

WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)?
You can’t taste or smell CO, but it is a very dangerous gas. High levels of CO can come from appliances that are not operating correctly, or from a venting system or chimney that becomes blocked.
CO CAN BE DEADLY!
High levels of CO can make you dizzy or sick. In extreme cases, CO can cause brain damage or death. Symptoms of CO poisoning include: headache, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and nausea.

IF YOU SUSPECT CO IS PRESENT, ACT IMMEDIATELY!

If you or a family member shows physical symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the building and call 911 or your local fire department.
If it is safe to do so, open windows to allow entry of fresh air, and turn off any appliances you suspect may be releasing CO.
If no one has symptoms, but you suspect that CO is present, call your propane retailer or a qualified service technician to check CO levels and your propane equipment.

CO DETECTORS CAN IMPROVE SAFETY.
For an extra measure of safety, consider installing a CO detector listed by UL on each level of your home.
TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF CO POISONING:

Have a qualified service technician check your propane appliances and venting systems annually, preferably before the heating season.
Install UL-listed CO detectors on every level of your home.
Never use a gas oven or range-top burners to provide space heating.
Never use portable heaters indoors unless they are designed and approved for indoor use.
Never use a barbecue grill (propane or charcoal) indoors for cooking or heating.
Regularly check your appliance exhaust vents for blockage.

RUNNING OUT OF GAS

DON’T RUN OUT OF GAS. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS, INCLUDING FIRE OR EXPLOSION, CAN RESULT.

If an appliance valve or a gas line is left open, a leak could occur when the system is recharged with propane.
If your propane tank runs out of gas, any pilot lights on your appliances will go out. This can be extremely dangerous.
A LEAK CHECK IS REQUIRED.
In many states, a propane retailer or a qualified service technician must perform a leak check of your propane system before turning on the gas.

LIGHTING PILOT LIGHTS

IF A PILOT LIGHT REPEATEDLY GOES OUT or is very difficult to light, there may be a safety problem.
DO NOT try to fix the problem yourself. It is strongly recommended that only a QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN light any pilot light that has gone out.
YOU ARE TAKING THE RISK of starting a fire or an explosion if you light a pilot light yourself. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings concerning the appliance before attempting to light the pilot.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

Leaking Propane Gas

If you smell gas:
a. Shut off gas to the Heater.
b. Extinguish any open flame.
c. Do not light a match or operate an electrical switch.
d. Evacuate the area at once.
e. Call for professional help.
Propane gas is a gas you cannot see or smell. Propane gas normally has an odorant added to aid detection. The odorant smells like “rotten eggs“. The odorant may fade over time, so leaking gas may not be detectable by smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and will collect in low areas.

Risk of Fire and/or Explosion

Do not store extra propane tanks near the Heater.
If gas is smelled during operation, immediately close the valve on the propane tank. Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to propane/LP gas to enable you to smell the gas if it may be leaking.
If the Heater shuts off during operation, close the valve on the propane tank. Check the amount of gas in the tank and wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear before restarting. If it continues to shut off during operation, have it serviced by a qualified technician.
Do not use the Heater within 15 feet of flammable objects such as wood, trees, overhangs, and umbrellas.
Do not store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120°F.
Do not use in spaces which may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.
Operate with the propane tank in its vertical upright position, on a non-combustible surface. While in operation, do not tilt or lean the propane tank on its side. Do not turn the tank upside down, not even when it seems empty, as this may cause clogging of valves and components which could lead to dangerous flare-ups or fire.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Extension Cords

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
