THIS MANUAL IS THE PROPERTY OF THE OWNER.

PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE IT WITH THE OWNER WHEN YOU LEAVE THE JOB.

Inspection upon Arrival

1.  Inspect unit upon arrival. In case of damage, report it 

immediately to transportation company and your local Modine 

Sales Representative.

2.  Check rating plate on unit to verify that power supply  

meets available electric power at the point of installation.

3.  Inspect unit upon arrival for conformance with description of 

product ordered (including specifications where applicable).

1.  Improper installation, adjustment, 

alteration, service or maintenance can 

cause property damage, injury or death, 

and could cause exposure to substances 

which have been determined by various 

state agencies to cause cancer, birth 

defects, or other reproductive harm. Read 

the installation, operating, and 

maintenance instructions thoroughly 

before installing or servicing this 

equipment.

2.  Do not locate ANY gas-fired units in areas 

where chlorinated, halogenated, or acidic 

vapors are present in the atmosphere. 

These substances can cause premature 

heat exchanger failure due to corrosion 

which can cause property damage, serious 

injury or death.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1. Open windows (indoor installation only).

2. Do not touch electrical switches.

3. Extinguish any open flame.

4. Immediately call your gas supplier.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

The use and storage of gasoline or other 

flammable vapors and liquids in open 

containers in the vicinity of this unit is 

hazardous.

IMPORTANT

The use of this manual is specifically intended

for a qualified installation and service agency.

A qualified installation and service agency

must perform all installation and service of

these appliances.

CAUTION

As with all infrared equipment, clearances to 

combustible materials are critical. Be sure all 

units have reflectors installed along the 

entire length of the tube, and that they are not 

mounted at an angle greater than 45° from 

the horizontal plane. In locations used for 

storage of combustible materials, signs shall 

be clearly posted in the vicinity of the heater 

where readily apparent to material handlers 

to specify the maximum permissible stacking 

height to maintain required clearances from the 

heater to the combustibles.
