any aspect of suitability or correct use
for your application, you should
complete training conducted by a
person or organization qualified in safe
use and operation of this equipment,
including fuel/electrical handling and
safety.
• Do NOT operate the equipment in
flammable or explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. The equipment
may create sparks or heat that may
ignite flammable substances.
• Keep clear of moving parts.
• Equipment may be a potential source of
electric shock or injury if misused.

Assembly
Heater Head
Attach the heater rear bracket (B) to the heater body (A) using bolts, washers and nuts. You can either
mount side or lengthways depending on the mounting surface.
Mounting Heater
General Mounting Suggestions
If unsure, please discuss with your local hardware store.
•
Ensure the fixing screws are at least suitable for 10Kg each.
•
If fitting to a stud wall or ceiling, ensure all fixing screws are into timber. Plasterboard IS NOT suitable by
itself.
•
If no timber stud/joists are available we would suggest installing a timber batten to attach to.
Wall/Ceiling Bracket Assembly
1. The bottom of the heater body should be 1.8m above the floor, see Heater Positioning.
2. Do not position the heater directly above or below a power point or switch. Do not position heater in front
of a power point.
3. Mark and drill 2 mounting holes for bracket (C).
4. Using 2 suitable screws (not supplied) attach the bracket to the wall or ceiling.
Note: If unsure what screws to use, please discuss with your local hardware store.
5. Using the nuts and bolts join the bracket (C) to the heater bracket (B) and tighten fully.
6. Heater is now mounted and ready for use. Check the safety distance between the heater body and
flammable surface when wall or corner mounted. Do not mount the heater in the ceiling, always mount to
the ceiling, see Heater Positioning.
