Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

This is a kerosene direct-red, forced air heater. 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 is toxic.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation according to this manual can result in death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the

u. Symptoms of improper ventilation are: Symptoms of improper

ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:

Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth Sore Throat •

Burning of Nose and Eyes

For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that K-1 kerosene be used. K-1 kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if K-1 kerosene is not available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as K-1 kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated space. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in more periodic maintenance.
