Item 57176

IF YOU SMELL GAS

1. 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.

2. LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY!

Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.

3. 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).

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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.

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.

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!

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

2. 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.)

3. 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.)

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

1. 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.)

Extension Cords

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.

Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. 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.)

3. 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.)

4. 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.)

5. 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.)

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation charges prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise.

If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
