NOT FOR HOME OR
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE
This heater is designed and approved for use as
a construction heater per Canadian Standard
2.14 and Ansi Z83.7 –2000.
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY
AUTHORITY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT APPLICATIONS. Other standards
govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing
products in specific applications. Your local
authority can advise you about these.
1.0 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
1.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Examine contents for damage or missing parts before proceeding with these instructions.
2. Installation of heaters must conform to all local codes.
3. Ensure that heater is level before operation.

WARNING
1.2 GAS SUPPLY & PRESSURE INFORMATION
All piping and hose must be installed according to local code, and must be of adequate size and construction.
Natural gas models must have the supply line limited to 14 inches (maximum) water column.
If the line pressure will go above 14 inches water column at any time, a separate regulator must be used. The
minimum supply line pressure at the inlet to the heater regulator must in no case be lower than 6.3 inches of water
column.
Note:
The regulator is an internal component of the heater and maintains the heater’s manifold pressure; natural
gas is 5.5 inches water column, and LP gas is 10.5 inches water column.
Heaters equipped for LP gas operations must have a minimum supply line pressure 11.3 inches of water column
at the heater. Maximum line pressure is 1/2 PSI (14 inches water column).
1. Minimum hose length – Canada fifteen feet (15’) — USA ten feet (10’) Maximum hose length - Fifty
feet (50’) (3/4” inside diameter)
2. LP Gas Cylinder must be located a minimum ten feet away from heater while heater is in operation.
3. After assembly and every time the heater is attached to a new gas cylinder or gas meter, check for leaks
with a soap solution or leak tester on all gas lines and connections. Failure to do so may result in property
damage, bodily injury or death. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
If high pressure is used to check for leaks, do not subject this heater’s controls to excessive pressure.
1.3 VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
It has been determined that CO2 levels should not exceed 5000 PPM (parts per million) and CO should not exceed 35 PPM for an eight hour continuous exposure.
Combustion of gas fuel requires air. Each SCH-90 heater requires 90 sq.in. of opening for combustion air. (ex.:
9” x 10” window opening)
To maintain the carbon dioxide content in the air at or below the concentration mentioned above, the number of air
changes are listed below depending on the size of the space being heated:
Heater may be suspended from ceiling using chain and mounting hardware.
When hanging from joists / beams the 24” clearance to combustibles must be
maintained, and measured from the bottom underside of the joist or beam as per
drawing, and NOT from the suspension anchoring point of the chain. (See Table
2 page 6)
The construction heater is CSA International approved to be suspended as per
these instructions and using the approved manufacturer's supplied suspension
hardware. (optional part #JH-0910-xx)
Note: Suspending heaters is not allowed in some jurisdictions, check your
local codes.

1.6 LIGHTING / SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pre-purge gas line prior to lighting.
2. Place knob in the OFF position, rotate knob 1 notch, or “click” counter-clockwise. Depress and
hold the control knob. Light pilot through porthole. Release knob after sixty seconds. Pilot burns,
main burner is off.
3. Turn knob counter-clockwise to ignite main burner. Adjust knob to desired heat setting.
4. If burner does not light, turn knob completely clockwise . Leave in off position without pressing
knob. Wait five minutes and repeat step two.
5. For complete shutdown of burner and pilot, turn knob completely clockwise, then depress knob.

1.8 LIGHTING / SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pre-purge gas line prior to lighting.
2. Turn the knob counterclockwise to PILOT position, push the knob down and hold in position. The
pilot valve opens and allows gas to flow to the pilot burner.
3. While holding the knob down, light the pilot burner, continue to hold knob down until a strong flame
is present, continue holding for an additional 60 seconds.
4. Release the knob. The shaft moves upward and engages the safety valve level that opens the
safety valve.
5. Turn the knob counterclockwise to the ON position. On a call-for-heat the main valve opens and
the main burner ignites.
6. To shut off the system, turn the knob clockwise to the OFF position. This action closes the main
gas and safety valves. However the power unit must drop out before the lighting sequence can
begin again. The valve drops out within three minutes.
Thermostat range is 50o F
o
to 100
clockwise to increase the
room temperature.
Turn counter clockwise all
the way to shut off, call for

2.0 MAINTENANCE
This heater should be cleaned at least once annually with a dry cloth. This heater should be inspected
before each use and at least once annually by a qualified service person.
The gas hose assembly shall be visually inspected prior to each use of the heater. If damage is evident
it must be replaced prior to the heater being placed into operation. For replacement part information,
see pages 12 & 14.
LP model heaters should use a standard LP gas cylinder. Cylinder must be located a minimum of 10
feet away from heater while heater is in operation. The cylinder must be provided with a system for vapor withdrawal. The gas must be turned off at the LP gas supply cylinder when the heater is not in use.
The connection of the gas cylinder should be made with the #510 connector which tightens by turning
the threads to the left. To disconnect the fitting make sure the gas is turned off, and loosen threads by
turning them to the right. When heater is to be stored indoors the connection between the LP gas cylinder and the heater must be disconnected.
Keep appliance area free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids. Ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is free from all obstructions.
