WARNING
The products described in this manual are
kerosene direct-fired, forced air heaters. Kerosene
forced air heaters are primarily intended for use for
temporary heating of buildings under construction,
alteration or repair. Direct-fired means that all
of the combustion products of the heater enter
the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98%
combustion efficiency, but does produce small
amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation
in accordance with the instructions in this manual
can result in death. People with breathing
problems should consult a physician before
using this heater. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper
ventilation/carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache
•
Dizziness
•
Nausea
•
Dry Mouth
Sore
Throat
•
Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. These include: pregnant women, those
with heart or lung problems, anemia or those under
the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE PERMITTED
ONLY FOR: The temporary heating of adequately
ventilated buildings or structures under
construction, alteration or repair. Provide at
least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening
of outside air for every 100,000 Btu/Hr (29 kW)
heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on page 6 for
further instructions.
