ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING! Only a qualified electrician should wire the shop
heater to the power source. You may suffer a serious or fatal
electric shock. Failure to properly connect the heater to a
power source may cause a fire.
The shop heater must connect to the correct power source (see
Specifications). A wiring diagram is provided in Appendix A.
The power supply cable require a minimum 8/2 gauge copper
wire connected to a 35 amp circuit breaker. This must be on an
individual branch circuit as the main power cutoff switch to the
heater. This circuit breaker must be within line in sight and can
be locked in the open position.
1. Loosen the screw to remove the wiring
compartment/ connection cover in the
rear of the heater (Fig. 4).
2. Run the electrical power supply cable
in flexible conduit and connect to the
wiring compartment via the knock-out
at back side of the unit.
3. Connect the power supply cord with connectors that are
appropriate for the conductor size.
4. Replace the wiring compartment/connection cover and
lock it in place with the screw.
5. Wire the other end of the power supply cord to the
electric panel.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT! When the unit is first powered ON, there may be a
crackling sound, a trace of smoke or a burning odour. This is due to
a drop of oil dripping onto the heating coil during manufacturing.
The oil drop will evaporate and this should not re-occur.
