HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
WARNING
Explosion hazard. This heater must be converted by a trained gas installation and service personnel only. Failure to
comply could result in personal injury, asphyxiation, death, and fire or property damage.
This Unit heater is factory configured for altitudes from 0 – 2,000 ft above sea level. Above 2000 ft. (610m), manifold pressure must be adjusted
according to the following tables:

In case the manifold pressure is changed for this reason, the altitude label in the conversion kit must be completed and affixed to the unit:
This appliance was converted on ______ (day-month-year)
for operation at ____ ft.(___m) altitude by ____________
(name and address of the organization making this conver-
sion) which accepts the responsiblity that this conversion
has been properly made.
