Heater Location Instructions:
Arrange the heater so the hot discharge air is:
1. Free of interference from any items that could block or disrupt the
airflow reaching the farthest point of the area being heated.
2. Direct the airflow along the coldest part of the garage area without
blowing the heat directly at the wall or warming the items in any way.
Typically a distance of 3 to 4 feet is away from walls or cabinets is
acceptable.
3. Do not blow directly on stationary people in the room or work
areas.
4. Smaller rooms will be comfortably heated with one unit. Larger
rooms may require multiple heaters Moves the air in a circular, wall
wiping pattern around the room. This configuration aids in pre-
heating the incoming air of the next heater and will raise the room
temperature faster. See Fig 3.4 and 3.5
Thermostat:
The inbuilt thermostat has a range of 40 to 90 degrees F and when
set will keep the room at a comfortable temperature. We recommend
experimenting with settings to determine ideal room temperature
while occupied and unoccupied. Once those ideals are identified,
mark the settings on the label with a felt tip marker.
If a remote line voltage thermostat is used it should be rated for
higher than the amp load of the heater connected. Locate the ther-
mostat 5 ft. (1.5 m) above the floor on an interior wall away from cold
drafts, cold steel posts, outside walls, hot water pipes, hot lights and
away from the discharge air stream of the heater.

Wall Mount
Typical garage with 2 or 3 outside walls
Larger garage with all outside walls
or colder climate
Heater may be mounted to the wall or ceiling. For best performance and sat-
isfactory results the heater
should not
be mounted over 10 feet high off the
floor.
Minimum distance off the floor is 6 ft.
per UL standards 2021.
For wall installation the bracket must have the hook end pointing up so if the
heater were to loosen over time it would not fall out. See Fig 3.3
Wall stud and ceiling joists are typically wider than our mounting bracket
which is 11 inches wide. The heater weighs 14 lbs. and should be mounted
onto at least one stud to be properly supported.
Your fasteners penetrating a stud is critical to supporting the weight. A gyp-
sum wall board fastener is not strong enough. But if your ideal location has no
solid backing. You can fasten with large screw fasteners a 2 x 6 across the
studs or ceiling joists and attach the heater then to the 2 x 6. This works for
ceiling or wall mounting. Attach with appropriate lag bolts with proper depth
for the 14 lbs. Install hex fasteners into both sides of heater with washer on
the outside of the bracket and star washer between the heater and bracket.

After bracket is mounted, place washers
on bolts and then in heater sides. Drop
onto bracket slots placing lock washer
