RECOMMENDED CLEARANCE
Minimum Clearances from combustible materials must be:
Front 200mm
Rear 200mm
Sides 200mm (see note below)

The exhaust outlet and gasses can become very hot,
and it is recommended to direct it away from any objects
within 1000mm.
CLEARANCE & INSTALLATION
DANGER
DO NOT use the heater in an enclosed space such
as inside tents, caravans, marine craft, vehicles,
mobile homes or similar locations as it may
cause the build-up of hazardous levels of carbon
monoxide and result in death.
DANGER
DO NOT use the heater on a surface containing
combustible materials such as long grass, dry
leaves or paper. The exhaust pipe and muffler
under the unit will get very hot during operation
and could result in fire.
LOCATING THE HEATER FOR PORTABLE USE
As standard, the heater is designed for use as a portable
unit. In this configuration, the heater unit is located
in an outdoor area with the hot air duct attached to
the outlet and fed into the area to be heated. The heater
unit draws fresh air from outside to be heated.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
The heater
MUST be plugged into a 12V DC supply with
AT LEAST 15A capacity to operate properly. It CANNOT
operate from a standard 10A car cigarette socket. When
choosing a location for the heater:
• The heater unit should be protected from direct exposure
to rain.
• Ensure it will not interfere the operation or storage
of other equipment nearby.
• Ensure it is on a smooth and level surface, away from
combustible materials such as grass, leaf matter, paper,
etc. Clear the area under and around the heater of any
such material before use, or place the unit on a non-
combustible surface.
• The exhaust outlet must point away from living spaces
and from any objects within 1m.
• Ensure it is within the needed distance to a 12V power
source.
• Ensure it is within the needed distance to the living space
to heated.
