OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It's intended use
is primarily temporary heating of buildings under construction,
alteration or repair.
Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the
heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100
percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. We can
tolerate small amounts but not a lot. CO can build up in a heated
space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
death. The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
• headache
• dizziness
• burning eyes and nose
• nausea
• dry mouth or sore throat
So, be sure to follow advice about ventilation in these operating
instructions.
Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air through
the heater. Proper combustion depends upon this air flow;
therefore, the heater must not be revised, modified or operated
with parts removed or missing. Likewise, safety systems must not
be circumvented or modified in order to operate the heater.
When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other
people the user is responsible for properly acquainting those
present with the safety precautions and instructions, and of the
hazards involved.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Check the heater thoroughly for damage. DO NOT operate a
damaged heater.
2. DO NOT modify the heater or operate a heater which has
been modified from its original condition.
3. Use only Kerosene or #1 fuel oil. Never use gasoline,
naphtha, paint thinner, alcohol or other fuels of any kind.
4. For indoor use only. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Provide at least 2 sq. ft. of opening near the floor and
2 sq.ft. of opening near the ceiling. (Also see "Operating
Precautions").
5. Install the heater such that it is not directly exposed to
water spray, rain and/or dripping water.
6. Maintain minimum clearance from normal combustible
material (like paper) at least 8 ft. from the heater outlet and
3 ft. from the top, sides and inlet. Locate 10 ft. from canvas
or plastic coverings and secure them to prevent flapping or
movement.
7. Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults
and children must observe clearances to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
8. Never use in areas normally for habitation and/or where
children may be present.
9. Operate only on a stable, level surface.
10. Do not use with duct work. Do not restrict inlet or exit.
11. Use only the electrical power specified. The electrical
connection and grounding must comply with National
Electrical Code - ANSI/NFPA 70 (USA) and CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 (Canada).
12. Use only a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle or
extension cord.
13. Do not move, handle or service while hot or burning.
14. Use only in accordance with local codes and federal
ordinances.
