5. INSTALLATION

CAUTION Only qualified personnel is allowed
to perform all the operations described in this
chapter.

5.1 Internal typical placement

In order to position the air heater in the proper way,
we recommend to the users to employ skilled
persons with relevant education, training and/or
experience, acquainted
characteristics and/or cultivation methods of the
local area.
DANGER Exhaust emissions from the burner
contain carbon monoxide. Exposure to carbon
monoxide can cause death. Do not use the machine
indoors or in an enclosed area unless the air heater
is properly connected to the exhaust piping system,
according to local and national codes (see Chapter
5.3).
The following guidelines should be observed closely
for interior positioning of the air heater:
• positioning of the air heater must comply with the
safety clearances;
• positioning of the air heater must be done in
upright position.
The air heater must be located at a safe distance
form obstacles, structures, materials or other
combustible surfaces.
clearances should be applied (see fig. 5):
• 3.1 m to front;
• 2 m to rear;
• 1.1 m to sides;
• 1.1 m to top;
• 1.5 m to ground.
WARNING The installer must place the heater
in such way to avoid any risk of fire. The user shall
take all precautions necessary according to the laws
of the country of use, in order to avoid overheating
of the floor, walls or ceiling – if these are made of
flammable materials.
For safety reasons, the following points must be
observed closely:
• do not place the air heater near objects that could
block or obstruct the air inlet and/or outlet;
• do not place the air heater near curtains,
tarpaulins, canvas or enclosure material that
could block the air inlet and/or outlet;
• do not place the air heater near flammable,
combustible, explosive or acid materials;
• do not keep the power cable near heat source,
sharp edges, cutting or moving parts, including
feeding and drinking system;
with the climatic
The following safety

• do not allow the fuel pipe and/or electrical power
line to interfere with moving parts including
feeding and drinking system;
• keep the area above the air heater clear of debris
that could fall on the air heater;
• keep unauthorized personnel, children and pets
away for the air heater.
The GFn series air heaters are usually installed in
high places (minimum 1.5 m from ground), at one
end of the farm or greenhouse, and with the air
outlet typically directed towards the colder areas.
In order to install the air heater in hanging (pensile)
position, the following
performed:
• prepare proper lifting equipment adapted for the
operation;
• prepare appropriate hanging equipment (e.g.
chains, metallic cables, etc.) properly rated to
support safely the air heaters weight during and
after operation (see Appendix);
• prepare
appropriate
support safely the air heaters weight during and
after operation (see Appendix). If such anchoring
structure cannot be provided, the installer must
accurately prepare a supporting structure at the
desired height to support safely the air heaters
weight during and
supporting structure must fulfill the requirements
of the European directives and/or national
regulations governing safety in the workplace.
NOTE Ensure the proper fixing of the air heater to
the supporting structure, in order to resist vibrations.
WARNING Improperly rated hanging equipment
can lead to faulty installation. Faulty hanging
equipment and/or inappropriate anchoring structure
can cause the air heater's fall.
• check that the hanging brackets are properly
installed;
• attach the hanging equipment to the hanging
brackets;
• lift the air heater using proper lifting equipment;
WARNING Never stand under or over the air
heater while lifting operation.
• attach properly the hanging equipment to the
anchoring structure;
• lower the heater for a short distance and make
sure the air heater will stand in upright position
(horizontal level);
• check the correct positioning and stability;
• retract the lifting equipment.
WARNING Risk of severe injury or death.
Faulty hanging equipment or anchoring structure
can lead to accidental fall of the air heater.
The fall can cause severe injury or death. Verify that
the hanging equipment and anchoring structure are
safe and stable before making any other operations.
