WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock!
• Use only the electrical power (voltage and frequency) specified on the
model plate of the heater. Use only a three- prong, grounded outlet
and extension cord.
• ALWAYS install the heater so that it is not directly exposed to water
spray, rain, dripping water, or wind.
• ALWAYS unplug the heater when not in use.
DANGER
Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
• Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to
provide proper ventilation according to this manual can result in death.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms
of improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
• For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that
1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to virtually
eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten
egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel
oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not available.
Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene,
and care should be taken to provide more fresh air ventilation to
accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the
heated space. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in more periodic
maintenance.
