1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
Machine
description
The HI Heater is an indirect-fired air heater. Depending on the model, the machine
operates either on diesel fuel (oil) or natural gas / Liquid Propane (LP). The
machine consists of the following components:
■
Stainless steel combustion chamber and heat exchanger
■
Blower
■
Two-stage burner (oil model)
■
High-temperature shut-down device
■
Fuel tank (oil model)
■
Gas selector valve (gas model)
■
High and low voltage control (gas model)
Fuel is consumed in a closed combustion chamber. Room air or outside air
(depending on the application) is pulled into the machine where it is heated. This
clean, dry, hot air is then blown by the blower into the space to be heated . Access
to the blower assembly is protected by a guard fitted on the air inlet.
Intended use The HI Heater is intended to provide heat on outdoor or indoor construction sites (if
properly vented) and in other rugged applications.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons on the work site. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
Do not use this machine indoors without proper exhaust venting designed for
indoor use which meets all applicable regulations.

safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as
