WARNING:
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION! 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.
DANGER:
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH! 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 under the influence of alcohol, or
those 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.
