NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
WARNING: OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It's intended use is primar-
ily temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair.
Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the heated
space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent com-
bustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. CO can build up in a heated space
and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in death. The
symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
• headache
• dizziness
• burning eyes and nose
• nausea
• dry mouth or sore throat
Be sure to follow advice about ventilation in the Safety Precautions
section.
Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air through the heater.
Proper combustion depends upon this air flow; therefore, the heater
must not be revised, modified or operated with parts removed or missing.
Likewise, safety systems must not be circumvented or modified in order to
operate the heater.
When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other people the
user is responsible for properly acquainting those present with the safety
precautions and instructions, and of the hazards involved.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

from the heater outlet and 3 ft. (1.0 m) from the top, sides and inlet.
Locate 10 ft. (3.0 m) from canvas or plastic coverings and secure
them to prevent flapping movement.
7. Caution: Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults
and children must observe clearances to avoid burns or clothing
ignition. Do Not Touch. Keep children, clothing, and combustible
away.
