Using this heater in a

residential garage

requires that the heater is positioned

so that it is protected against any possible

damage by a moving vehicle, etc. It must be

positioned so that the base of the heater is

no less than 18 in (450 mm) above the

garage floor or 8 ft (2450 mm) in repair

garages. The heater must be placed on a

stable surface. Do not place it on a chair,

ladder, etc. Raising the heater will reduce

BUT NOT eliminate the possibility of lighting

the vapor of any flammable liquids which

may be improperly stored or accidentally

spilled. If the smell of gasoline is present,

DO NOT operate this heater until the area

has been properly ventilated.

Not for home or rec-

reational vehicle use.

The heater is designed and approved
for use as a construction heater
under ANS Z83.7 CSA 2.14. It is hard
to anticipate every use which may
be made of this heater. CHECK WITH
YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
APPLICATIONS.
Other standards govern the use of fuel
gases and heat producing products in
specific applications.
Your local authority can advise you
about these.

IMPORTANT: READ THIS USER’S
MANUAL CAREFULLY AND
COMPLETELY BEFORE TRYING TO
OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS HEATER.
IMPROPER USE OF THIS HEATER CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
FROM FIRE, EXPLOSION AND CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING.
This is a direct-fired forced air

construction heater for either indoor

construction or outdoor use. Its

intended use is primarily the temporary

heating of buildings or structures under

construction, alteration or repair. All

the products of combustion generated

by the heater are forced through the

heater and released into the area

being heated. This heater operates

at approximately 98%+ combustion

efficiency but still produces a small

amount of carbon monoxide. Humans

can tolerate small amounts of carbon

monoxide for short periods. Carbon

monoxide can build up in a heated

space and failure to provide adequate

ventilation could result in poisoning or

death.

For either indoor or outdoor use.

Adequate ventilation shall be provided

in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR

1926.154, Safety Requirements for

Temporary and Portable Space Heating

Devices and Equipment ANSI A10.10,

ANSI 223.1 / NFPA 54, Liquified

Petroleum Gas Code, NFPA 58 or the

National Gas and Propane Installation

Code, CAN B149.1 as appropriate.
