Safety Information

Indicates an imminently hazardous situa-
DANGER
tion which, if not avoided, WILL result in
death or serious injury.
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is primarily
intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under con-
struction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired means that all of the
combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This
appliance is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but does produce
small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic.
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and pre-
cautions 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 flu.
Symptoms of improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to vir-
tually 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 1-K kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air ven-
tilation 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.
Risk of indoor air pollution!
WARNING
- Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at least a
three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every
100,000 BTU/hr of heater rating.
- People with breathing problems should consult a physician
before using the heater.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your
heater may not be working properly.
- Get fresh air at once! Have the heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems,
anemia, or those under the influence of alcohol, or at high alti-
tudes.
- Never use this heater in living or sleeping areas.
Risk of burns / fire / explosion!
WARNING
- NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners, or
other oil compounds in this heater (RISK OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION).
- NEVER use this heater where flammable vapors may be
present.
- NEVER refill the heater's fuel tank while heater is operating or
still hot. This heater is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.
- Keep all combustible materials away from this heater.
- NEVER block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front) of heater.
