help! safety concern about resetting propane furnaces

[Jo-Ski]

Help!

During our last night at the 4th PNW Bird retreat, we developed a low battery.
At that point, our propane furnaces ceased to work--or rather, they worked, but
there was no heat coming out. Even after the battery had recharged a bit, the
furnaces, fans, etc., worked, but there was still no heat.

The manual mentions something about a reset procedure. It's kinda scary working
with propane. Are there any safety concerns we need to know about in doing this,
please?

Thanks!

Problem solved. An archive message about muddaubers in the cold-air return
sparked the idea in Stew to double-check that (we'd had that same problem
last summer). Stew discovered a little bit of lint in each blower, causing
the blower not to run at the proper speed. Therefore, ignition was not
possible. He vacumed around each blower, and now all is working.

Thanks!
