If during installation or relocating of heater, you
suspect that a part is damaged or defective, call a
qualified service agency for repair or replacement
2. Using a level, make sure the heater is level and
properly positioned before use. Observe and
obey minimum safe distances of the heater to the
nearest combustible materials. Safe distances are
given on page 4 of this manual.
3. This heater may be installed either indoors or
outdoors. For indoor installations, the heater must
be vented to the outside. See installation of inside
structure section of this manual.
4. Heaters used in the vicinity of combustible
tarpaulins, canvas, plastic, wind barriers, or similar
coverings shall be located at least 10 feet/3.05
meters from the coverings. The coverings shall be
securely fastened to prevent ignition or upsetting
of the heater due to wind action on the covering or
other material.

9. The heater shall be located so that rain, ice, or snow
drainage from the structure does not affect equip-
ment operation. If the heater is mounted outside,
it must be mounted above any pooled or standing
water. If the unit is to be located on the ground, a
surrounding trench is recommended to drain any
rain, ice or snow away from the unit.
10. The ground and surrounding terrain must be
cleared of any combustible vegetation and other
combustible materials when the heater is utilized
outside.
11. Eventually, like all electrical/mechanical devices,
the thermostat can fail. Thermostat failure may re-
sult in an under-heating condition. The thermo-stat
should be tested to make sure it turns the heater
on and off within a temperature differential of ±3°F
(±1.5 °C).
12. Any defects found in performing any of the service
or maintenance procedures must be eliminated and
defective parts replaced immediately. The heater
must be retested by properly qualified service
personnel before placing the heater back into use.
