Silent Drive Forced Air Heater User’s Manual
NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR
WHILE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE
3
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 ef-
ficiency, but does produce small amounts of carbon monox-
ide.
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.
Not For Indoor Use. Indoor use permitted only for the
temporary heating of buildings under construction, altera-
tion or repair!
Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm) open-
ing of outside air for every 100,000 Btu/Hr (29 kW)
heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on page 6 for further
instructions.
