WARNING

NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE.

The heater is designed for use as a construction heater. The primary purpose of
construction heaters is to provide temporary heating of buildings under construc-
tion, alteration or repair, and to provide temporary emergency heat. Properly used,
the heater provides safe economical heating. Products of combustion are vented
into the area being heated.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our heaters. Check with your
local fire safety authority if you have questions about heater use
.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for
specific uses. Your local authorities can advise you about these.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: 

Some people are more affected by carbon

monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may
not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
