INSTALLATION – SUSPENSION, HANGING AND LEVELING THE HEATER
1.
Heater must be secured by only noncombustible materials.
2.
Heater must be installed using best building practices.
3.
All hanging material such as chains, etc. must have a minimum working load capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg).
4.
Turnbuckles can be used with chains to allow leveling of the heater. All “S” hooks must be manually crimped
closed by the installer.
5.
When using rigid means for heater suspension (rod, flat bar, etc.) secure all suspension points to prevent
vibration from loosening any fastener, etc.
6.
Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent
structure with adequate load capacity.
7.
Locate the heater away from livestock so that they cannot damage the heater. Follow all guidelines as
outlined in the Minimum Clearances to Combustibles Section 4.0.
8.
Assemble the eyebolts, nuts and washers (included with heater) into the top of the heater cover panel. The
eyebolts must be screwed into the top nuts by at least ½ inch. Secure the eyebolt with the ¼-20 nut and
washer to prevent it from screwing out.
9.
Suspend the heater to desired level using hanging materials with a minimum working load capacity of 150 lbs
(68 kg).
10.
Make sure the heater is level. Optional turnbuckles (not supplied) can also be used to level the heater.
