Safety Information
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, radiant heater. It is
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.
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide,
and precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. People with breathing problems should consult
a physician before using the heater. Failure to provide
proper ventilation in according to this manual can result in
death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat *
If the heater is being used in the presence of others, be
sure to inform them of all proper safety precautions,
operating procedures and hazards.
Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These
are pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or
anemia, those under the influence of alcohol or at high
altitudes. For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that 1-K kero sene be used. 1-K
kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate
contami nants, 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 1-K kero sene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean
as 1-K kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more
fresh air ventilation to accommodate any added contami-
nants that may be added to the heated space. Use of #1 or
#2 fuel oil may result in more periodic maintenance.
- Check the heater thoroughly for damage before each
use. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.
- DO NOT modify this heater or operate a heater that has
been modified from it’s original state.
-
Suitable for outdoor use.
Use this heater only in well
ventilated areas! Provide at least 3 square feet (2,800 sq
cm) of opening per 100,000 Btu of rated operation (See
page 5).
- Never use heater in occupied dwellings.
- Never use this heater in living or sleeping areas.
Fire, burn, inhalation, and explosion
hazard. Keep combustibles, such as
building materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance
away from the heater as recommended by these
instructions. Never use the heater in spaces which contain
products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinners, dust
particles, volatile or airborne combustibles, or any
unknown chemicals.
California Residents:
Combustion by-products pro-
duced when using this product contain carbon monoxide,
a chemical known to the state of California to cause
cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
Do not operate this heater until you
have read, and thoroughly understand
these safety and operating instructions. Failure to comply
with the precautions and instructions provided with this
heater can result in death, serious bodily injury, property
loss or damage from the hazards of fire, soot production,
explosion, burns, asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poi-
soning. Only persons who can read and understand these
instructions should use or service this heater.
Not for use in homes or recreational vehicles.
This is an unvented portable heater. It
uses air (oxygen) from the area in which
it is used. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must
be provided. Refer to VENTILATION Page 5.
Massachusetts Residents:
Massachusetts state
law prohibits the use of this heater in any building which is
used in whole or in part for human habitation. Use of this
heating device in Massachusetts requires local fire
department permit (M.G.L.C. 148, Section 10A).
