A CAUTION
situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.
This is a kerosene direct-fired, forced air heater. Kerosene forced
air heaters are primarily intended for use for temporary heating
of buildings under construction, 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.
ADANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH!
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions
should be taken
to
provide
proper
ventilation. Failure
to
provide
proper
ventila ion
according
to this manual can result
in death.
Early
signs of
carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu.
Symptoms
of
improper
ventilation
are: Symptoms of improper

carbon monoxide poisoning are:

Burning of
Nose and Eyes
For
optimal
performance
of
this heater,
it is
strongly
suggested
that K-1 kerosene
b
e
,
used. K-1 kerosene has been refined to
virtually 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 K-1
kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as K-1
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air
ventilation 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!
- Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide, at heater
level, at least a three squ

are 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 altitudes.
