2. Installation instructions
WARNING
CONNECTION TO NG OR LP MUST BE
PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
WHO POSSESS CERTIFICATIONS OR
LICENSING PERTINENT TO STATE, LOCAL
OR PROVINCIAL GOVERNING
AUTHORITIES AS REQUIRED BY LAWS OR
CODES.
COMBUSTION GASES CAN BE VERY
DANGEROUS IF RELEASED IN A ROOM
WITH PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. COMBUSTION
GAS CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE, A
COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DEADLY GAS.
EXHAUST GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS AND
COULD START A FIRE. DO NOT USE THE
EQUIPMENT IN PREMISES THAT CONTAIN
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS
OR ANY OPEN FLAME.
NG BURNERS: THE AIR AND/OR GAS
SETTINGS ARE RETURNED TO “ZERO”
AFTER FACTORY TEST FIRING. A
CERTIFIED AND LICENSED GAS
TECHNICIAN MUST RECALIBRATE THE
BURNER AIR AND FUEL SETTINGS TO
OBTAIN PROPER COMBUSTION AT YOUR
WORK SITE.
Follow all burner setup and installation: fuel supply
connection, test-firing and burner adjustment must be
performed by a licensed professional and must conform
to the requirements of local, state and federal
authorities. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
gas piping shall be installed by a licensed plumber or
gas fitter.
Indirect fired heaters may be operated without a vent
only when used in the open outdoors. It is
recommended that a rain cap is mounted to protect the
vent pipe from rain or snow when using the unit
outdoors.
WARNING
THE HEATER TO WHICH THIS MANUAL
REFERS IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION WITH
DIESEL #1 AND #2, NATURAL GAS OR
PROPANE BURNERS. THE BURNER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL HAS TO BE
CONSIDERED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF
THE PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION.
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IS REQUIRED TO
CONNECT THE HEATER TO ANY
EXTERNAL FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM (TANK,
GAS LINE, ETC.) FOLLOWING ALL
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS
MANUAL AND IN THE BURNER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
PROPANE SUPPLY SIZING
To allow proper propane vaporisation, the following
gas supply specifications can be used as guidelines:
Input Propane Tank Capacity
400,000 Btu/h 500 gal
500,000 Btu/h 500 gal
750,000 Btu/h 1000 gal
However, as a number of environmental factors affect
gas vaporisation, a qualified gas technician is required to
select the correct propane supply for every specific site.
If several containers are used to supply a heater with
propane, they should be manifolded together. Use a
manifold system complying with NFPA 58.
CONNECTION TO OIL TANK
For connection to oil tanks, follow the prescriptions
and recommendations contained in the burner
instruction manual supplied with the unit. The
installation shall be carried out by a qualified technician.
3. Instructions for use
BEFORE STARTING THE HEATER:
1. Ensure the heater is parked on a firm, level surface.
KEEP THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES WALLS,
CEILINGS, MATERIALS, ETC.
FRONT: 10 ft (3.0 m)
REAR: 6 ft (1.8 m)
SIDES: 4 ft (1.2 m)
TOP: 4 ft (1.2 m)
2. FOR USE WITH DIESEL: at low temperatures,
ensure the fuel tank is filled with blended diesel to
avoid gelling.
3. FOR USE WITH NATURAL GAS OR PROPANE:
a qualified gas technician must connect the heater to
the fuel source and verify the inlet gas pressure is
correct (see technical specifications) and the line is
adequately sized for the BTU input.
4. Ensure the main operation switch is OFF (center
position)
5. Connect the heater to a 230V 60Hz 4 wire power
supply. When using diesel, the fuel filter preheater will
start warming the fuel.
6. Remove the protective receptacle cap and connect
the remote thermostat (if used)
NOTE: The heater will not operate unless the
protective receptacle cap or the remote thermostat
cable is connected.
STARTING THE UNIT
1. Remote thermostat (if used) is placed in the area to
be heated and set to the desired room temperature.
2. Turn the main operation switch to HEAT position
() to start the heater.
