General Information

A. Your DXH45LP gas fired infra-red heater come fully assembled, with the
exception of the wheels and wheel hardware. To install the wheels and wheel hardware:
1. Install one of the cotter pins into the hole on one end of the axle.
2. Slide one large washer, then the wheel onto the axle next to the cotter pin.
3. Slide a spacer onto the axle next to the wheel.
4. Slide the partially assembled axle through the axle support holes in the heater frame.
5. Slide the second spacer onto the axle, next to the heater frame.
6. Slide the second wheel, then large washer, onto the axle and secure with the
second cotter pin.
7. Install the rubber hub caps onto the large washers to complete the wheel assembly.
B. Each heater is equipped with a 100% safety shutoff, push button valve which
will automatically stop the flow of gas in the event the heater fails to operate for
any reason. A tip over switch and an excess flow check are also standard on the
model DXH45LP.
C. Before proceeding with this assembly, be sure to inspect for damages. The
freight company must be notified of any damages and request that an inspection
be made. DeWalt will send replacements for damaged parts only after receiving
a signed inspection report to prove the liability of the freight company.
The heater is designed and approved for use as a construction heater in
accordance with Standard ANSI Z83.7-CSA 2.14. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL
FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLICATIONS.
For Safe Operation
WARNING
A. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Read and follw these
instructions. DO NOT allow anyone who has not read these instructions to
assemble, light, adjust or operate this heater.
B. LP‑Gas IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. In the event of a leak, LP-Gas will accumulate
and the possibility of a fire is present. LP-Gas is scented and its strong odor is readily
detectable. Never strike a match, bring any flame or create an electric spark in an
enclosure when you smell LP-Gas. Ventilate the area thoroughly, move the heater
outside, and correct the source of the leak before attempting to light any appliance.
C. Always operate the heater with the LP-Gas cylinder in an upright position on a
level non-combustible surface. NEVER PLACE THE CYLINDER ON ITS SIDE
WHEN OPERATING THE HEATER.
D. DO NOT attempt to operate the heater with any gas other than that
indicated on the heater nameplate.
Fuel Gas Odor—Fuel Leaks
WARNING
LP gas and natural gas have man‑made odorants added specifically
for detection of fuel gas leaks. If a gas leak occurs you should be able
to smell the fuel gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air you should
smell for the gas odor low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOR IS YOUR SIGNAL
TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION!
Odor Fade Warning
• Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do not operate any
electrical switches. Do not plug in or disconnect any power supply or extension
cords. Do not light matches or any other source of flame. Do not use your
telephone.
• Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately.
• Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supply valves, or the main fuel
supply valve located at the meter if you use natural gas.
• Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas. When you
have reason to suspect a propane leak, keep out of all low areas.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call your fuel gas supplier and your fire
department. Do not re-enter the building or area.
• Stay out of the building and away from the area until declared safe by the
firefighters and your fuel gas supplier.
• FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the building and area before you return. Properly trained
service people must repair any leaks, check for further leakages, and then
relight the appliance for you.
Odor Fading—No Odor Detected
• Some people cannot smell the odor of the man-made chemical added to
propane (LP) or natural gas. You must determine if you can smell the odorant in
these fuel gases.
• Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas and natural gas. Local
propane (LP) gas dealers will be more than happy to give you a scratch and
sniff pamphlet. Use it to become familiar with the fuel gas odor.
• Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a period
of time can affect your sensitivity to that particular odor. Odors present in animal
confinement buildings can mask fuel gas odor.
