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 efciency, 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
