Safety Information
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is
primarily intended for use for temporary heating of build-
ings 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 small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation.
Failure to provide proper ventilation in according to this
manual can result in death. Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of
improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat *
If the heater is being used in the presence of others, be
sure to inform them of all proper safety precautions,
operating procedures and hazards. Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
are pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or
anemia, those under the influence of alcohol or at high
altitudes.
- Check the heater thoroughly for damage before each
use. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.
- DO NOT modify this heater or operate a heater that has
been modified from it’s original state.
