GENERAL HAZARD WARNING

Failure to comply with precautions and instructions provided with this heater can result

in death, serious bodily injury and property loss or damage from hazards of fire,

explosion, burn, asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and/or electrical shock. If

you need assistance or heater information such as an instruction manual, labels, etc.

contact the manufacturer.

Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper, cardboard, feathers, straw

and dust a safe distance away from the heater as recommended by the instructions.

Never use the heater in spaces which contain or may contain volatile or airborne

combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles, or

unknown chemicals. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a fire or

explosion, property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

WARNING

Not for home or recreational vehicle use. Installation of this heater in a home or

recreational vehicle may result in a fire or explosion, property damage, personal injury

or loss of life.

Proper gas supply pressure must be provided to the inlet of the appliance. Refer to

rating plate for proper gas supply pressure. Gas pressure in excess of the maximum

inlet pressure specified at the appliance inlet can cause fires or explosions, leading to

serious injury, death, building damage or loss of livestock.

WARNING

Likewise, gas pressure below the minimum inlet pressure specified at the appliance

inlet may cause improper combustion, leading to asphyxiation, carbon monoxide

poisoning and therefore serious injury or death to humans and livestock.

The intended use of this appliance is the heating of agricultural animal confinement

The electrical connections and grounding of the appliance shall be in compliance with

the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

3. Maintenance and Warranty

MAINTENANCE

1. The appliance area should be kept clear & free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapors, and liquids.

2 The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be ob structed.

3. Your Super Saver XL Heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qu alified

service person.

4. The hose should be visually inspected prior to each use of the heater. If it is evident there is excessive

abrasion or wear or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prio r to the heater being put into operation. The replacement hose assembly shall be that specifi ed by the manufacturer. (See parts list).

5. Inspect heater and gas connections periodically for gas leaks with an approved gas leak testing sol ution;

applying a soapy water mixture to gas connections works well. Bubble formation indicates a leak.

6. Keep heater clean at all times.

A. Open doors and blow out dust with high pressure air hose. Be sure interior of burner and flared

end are kept clean. B. Burner orifice and hot surface ignition assembly must be kept clean and free of carbon build-up. C. Check blower wheel regularly for dust accumulation and clean periodically for maximum airflow. D. Thermostat coils must be kept clean to assure proper temperature control. E. Igniter must be cool before wash down. Do not operate heater for one hour following wash-down.

4. Installation

4.1 Hanging The Heater

Chain Suspension Cable Suspension

Mount the heater with screw hooks and chains so that the back of the heater is at least 12 inches (305 mm) from the ceiling and wall. The heater must be a minimum of 20 inches (500 mm) from floor, and located so that livestock and combustible materials are unable to come in contact with heater or within 10 ft (3 meters) of the hot air discharge.

4.2 Directions for Leveling

Adjust cables or chains as required to level the heater. Use a carpenter's level to check that the heater is level.

4.3 Installing Dual-Flare Duct

Fold Dual-Flare duct to shape as shown in Fig. 1. Install Dual-Flare duct to heater exhaust (Fig. 1) as shown with sheet metal screws provided. This provides a multidirectional heat flow that may be set by bending flaps.

4.4 Connecting the Gas Supply

For gas connection (Fig. 2) attach regulator to the Hi-Pressure Line (A) at outside of building. Connect flexible hose (B) to low pressure end of regulator with special brass coupling. See page 1 for LP, and natural gas requirements.

5. User Instructions

Before turning on gas, check main supply valve to be sure it is open (Fig. 3). Be sure to check all connections for leaks with a Gas Leak Testing solution, (soap and water work well). Check to see if gas valve knob is in the ON position. If not, turn counter-clockwise until knob “clicks” into the ON position. (This may not apply to all units). Turn on gas by turning ball valve handle into vertical position.

5.1 Connecting Electrical Power

Make sure a circuit breaker or similar cutoff device is provided to permit disconnection of electrical power to heater for service and cleaning. This heater is designed to be wired directly,

with no plugs and outlets necessary. All electrical work should be performed by a certified electrician. The wiring diagrams on pages 7-8 show how to wire a line power supply directly to the heater’s terminal block. If no adjustments are made, the heater will operate every time power is supplied and the on/off switch is activated. If an external thermostat is to be used (See Component & Wiring Diagram), the heater will operate only when power is supplied, the on/off switch is activated, and the thermostat indicates a call for heat.

5.2 Starting Up

Adjust thermostat higher than house temperature. Allow 20 seconds for heater to ignite. On initial start up or when heater has not been in service for some time, heater may require more than one attempt to purge air and ignite heater. (IF HEATER FAILS TO IGNITE. REFER TO TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE). Adjust thermostat to desired house temperature.

5.3 Shutting OFF Heater

Shut off main gas supply valve, close ball valve, and disconnect electrical power.

below the noted limits.

6. Outside Mount (Optional)

″

Hired-Hand heaters are available in Outs ide Mount (OSM) models. These heaters are designed to be mounted to the outside wall of a building. This saves valuable space inside the building and ensures fresh air intake for the heater. If you have purchased one of our OSM heaters, please read the following before install ing your new heater.

1. Before disposing of the box, cut the installation template from the side.

2. Position template on outside of building where heater is to be mounted. Be sure the template is level.

3. Drill 6.3 mm (1/4″) holes through all 8 X’s shown on template. NOTE: Opening for duct measures 254 mm (10″) width (W) x 254mm (10″) height (H). See Detail A.

4. Locate 4 X’s for thru-wall extension duct and cut from one hole to the next until opening is removed. See Detail A.

5. If additional support is needed, add support by fastening two 2' x 4' boards on outside of wall where heater support brackets are to be positioned. The two 2' x 4' boards are to be fastened to studs inside the wall. See Detail B.

6. Assemble heater support bracket as shown in Detail C.

7. Attach Insert thru-wall extension duct assembly through opening in wall. The ‘varmint’ flap, located inside the thru-wall extension duct, should be positioned as shown in Detail D.

8. Bend extension duct mounting flange into a rectangle and fasten around exhaust outlet on front of heater with sheet metal screws provided.

9. Place heater on support bracket. Support bracket must be level before heater is set in place.

10. Slide thru-wall extension duct assembly into flange, and secure with sheet metal screws.

11. Place outer flashing seal around thru-wall extension duct and secure with sheet metal screws to inside of wall.

12. Fasten directional duct to extension duct mounting flange, then bend deflectors until they force heated air in the desired direction.

13. To continue with installation of your heater, see ‘User Instructions’ section on the next page.
