GENERAL INFORMATION
This brooder is a self-contained infrared radiant brooder for agricultural locations where flammable gases or
vapors are not generally present.
Installation of the brooders must be in accordance with all applicable codes shown in the instructions and/or
the local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the brooder must be
installed in accordance to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 in the U.S. or the CAN/CGA-
B149.1/2 Installation Code in Canada. Clearances to combustibles as outlined in the manual should always
be observed.
Inspect all openings and filters regularly and clean as necessary. This is necessary because litter, dust,
feathers and other matter can become airborne, clog openings and filters and adversely affect brooder
operation and performance.
Every brooder should be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit
access to the brooders. Each installer shall use skillful and reliable installation practices when locating the
brooders and must give consideration to service accessibility.
This brooder is for INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY and is used in an UNVENTED mode. The term
Unvented
actually means
Indirect Vented
. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national
codes require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation must be
provided by gravity or mechanical means. Ventilation requirements are addressed further in these
instructions.
This heater complies with IAS U.S. No. 8-94 (Draft No. 2) and CAN-1-2-20-M85.
Copies of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-latest edition) are available from the CSA at 8501 E.
Pleasant Valley Rd., Cleveland, OH 44131 or 55 Scarsdale Road, Don Mills, Ontario M3B 2R3. All NFPA
codes are available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
