But Tinker, those heaters are so nice. I got mine on line, but they sell them at Lowe’s. There are so many air leaks in the golf cart enclosures that there is a draft when you’re moving, so no worries about CO2 problems ( unless of course you were parked for an hour with the heater running! I also don’t see that happening. The heat would be too much!).
There is one annoyance with the gas heaters. There is a mechanism that shuts it off if it should tip over. While driving that part rattles like crazy, and there is no way to adjust it. What I do is stretch a bungee cord from one side, across the heater to the other side. The cord presses the heater against the windshield and stops the rattle. (That part of the heater against the windshield is not hot.)
There are two buttons on the top; one lights it and one shuts it off. The ON button snaps like the sound of the starter on a BBQ grill. (Don’t keep trying to start it with the OFF button like I did.) It is not Instant On, so give it about 15 seconds to feel the first heat. Full on - the element glows, so there is no doubt when it is on or off.
Hope this helps.
