DANGER
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.
Not For Indoor Use. Indoor use permitted only
for the temporary heating of buildings 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 5
for further instructions.
