WARNING: FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLOSION HAZARD.
KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER
OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS REC-
OMMENDED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER USE THE HEATER IN SPACES
WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES,
OR PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNER, DUST
PARTICLES OR UNKNOW CHEMICALS.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
This is a direct-fired forced air heater.
Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products
enter the heated space. Even though this heater
operates very close to 100 percent combustion effi-
ciency, it still produces small amounts of carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. We can
tolerate small amounts but not a lot. OSHA says that 50
parts per million (ppm) in the air we breathe is okay if it
does not average more than that during an 8 hour
working period. Regardless, CO can build up in a
heated space and failure to provide adequate ventila-
tion could result in death. The symptoms of inadequate
ventilation are:
headache
dizziness
burning eyes and nose
nausea
dry mouth or sore throat
So be sure to follow advice about ventilation in these
operating instructions.
Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air
through the heater. Proper combustion depends upon
this air flow; therefore, the heater must not be revised,
modified, or operated with parts removed or missing.
Likewise, safety systems must not be circumvented or
modified in order to operate the heater.
When the heater is to be operated in the presence
of other people the user is responsible for properly
acquainting those present with the safety precau-
tions and instructions, and of the hazards involved.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Check the heater thoroughly for damage. Never
operate a damaged heater.
2.
Never modify the heater or operate the heater if
it has been modified from its original condition.
3.
Use only Kerosene or #1 fuel oil. Never use
gasoline, naphtha, paint thinner, alcohol or other
fuels of any kind.
4.
For indoor use only.
5.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide at
least 2 sq. ft. of opening near the floor and 2 sq.
ft. of opening near the ceiling.
6.
Always keep combustibles, like paper and wood
at least 8 ft. from the heater outlet and 3 ft. from
the top, sides and inlet. Locate 10 ft. from
canvas or plastic coverings and secure them to
prevent flapping or movement.
7.
Install the heater such that it is not directly
exposed to water spray, rain and/or dripping
water or wind.
8.
Never use in areas normally for habitation and/or
where children may be present.
9.
Operate only on a stable, level surface.
10. Do not use with ductwork. Do not restrict inlet or
exit.
11. Use only the electrical power specified.
12. Use only a properly grounded 3 wire extension
cord.
13. Do not move, handle or service while hot or
burning.
14. Use only in accordance with State and Federal
ordinances.
