UNDERSTANDING PROPANE
NOTE: Use propane only in containers and/or remote
larger tanks specifically designed and approved for this
unit. Propane is a combustible gas, it is colorless and
thus invisible to the naked eye. Propane has a harmless
odorant added so that it is possible to smell it. The user
should be familiar with the smell of propane (smells like
sulfur or rotten eggs). If at any time the smell of propane
is identified, turn off the engine. If the leak persists,
remove the pro-pane canister. Never attempt to operate
a unit that has a suspected leak. Always remove the
propane canister from any unit that has a suspected leak.
