WARNING
The products described in this manual are
kerosene direct-fired, forced air heaters.
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. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in
accordance with the instructions in this manual can
result in death. People with breathing problems
should consult a physician before using this
heater. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper
ventilation/carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea
•
Dry Mouth
Sore Throat
•
Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE!
Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. 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.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE
PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary
heating of adequately ventilated buildings
or structures under construction, alteration
or repair. Provide at least a three square
foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for
every 100,000 Btu/Hr (29 kW) heater rating.
Refer to “Ventilation” on page 6 for further
instructions.
