RISK OF INDOOR

AIR POLLUTION!

The products described in this manual are

kerosene direct-red, forced air heaters. Kerosene

forced air heaters are primarily intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under construction,

alteration or repair. Direct-red means that all of

the combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98%

combustion efciency, but does produce small

amounts of carbon monoxide.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY

LEAD TO DEATH!

Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in accordance with the instructions in this manual can result in death.

People with breathing problems should consult a physician before using this heater.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble the u. Symptoms of improper ventilation

/ carbon monoxide poisoning are:

Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth

Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes

If you experience any of these symptoms: GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include: pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems, anemia or those under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.

FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary heating of adequately ventilated buildings or structures under construction, alteration or repair! Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every 100,000 Btu/Hr (29 kW) heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on page 5 for further instructions.
