NOTE: Brooder heaters are equipped with safety legs and must be removed from shipping position and reconnected
so they project below the bottom of the heater.

IMPORTANT: “Quartz-Ray” heaters must be installed so that the length of the quartz tube runs horizontally (see dia­gram below). Off horizontal installations can cause the element to sag and short out. DO NOT install in a vertical
position.
