WARNING: RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
•
Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at
least a three square feet (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside
air for every 45,000 BTU/Hr. of heater rating.
•
People with breathing problems should consult a physician
before using the heater.
•
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu-like
symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If
you have these symptoms, your heater may not be working
properly.

quarters.
•
Use of direct-fired heaters in the construction
environment can result in exposure to levels of CO,
CO
2
, And NO

considered to be hazardous to health
and potentially life threatening.
•
Do not use in unventilated areas
•
Know the signs of CO and CO

poisoning:
•
Headaches, stinging eyes
•
Dizziness, disorientation
•
Difficulty breathing, feelings of being suffocated.
•
Proper ventilation air exchange (OSHA 29 CFR
1926.57) to support combustion and maintain
acceptable air quality shall be provided in accordance
with OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926.154, ANSI A10.10
Safety Requirements for Temporary and Portable
Space Heating Devices and Equipment used in the
Construction Industry or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes CSA B149.1
•
Periodically monitor levels of CO, CO
2
, and NO
2
existing at the construction site - at the minimum
at the start of the shift and after 4 hours.
•
Provide ventilation air exchange, either natural or
mechanical, as required to maintain acceptable
indoor air quality.
•
Ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air
exchange cannot become obstructed.
•
As the building “tightens up” during the construction
phases ventilation may need to be increased.
