ing, and maintenance procedures or

followed, COULD result in minor
personal injury, product or property
Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead
to death! Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than
others. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with
headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, the heater may
not be operating properly, or the areas
may not be sufficiently ventilated. Get
fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
IMPORTANT: Every possible circumstance
that might involve a hazard cannot be
anticipated. The warnings in this manual
and on tags or decals affixed to the unit
are therefore not all-inclusive. If a
procedure, work method, or operating
technique not specifically recommended
by Dayton is used, you must make sure it
is safe for you and others. You should
also ensure that equipment will not be
damaged or made unsafe by the operat-
ing or maintenance method you choose.
• Use only Kero-
sene or No. 1 fuel
oil to avoid risk of fire or explosion.
Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint
thinners, alcohol, or other highly
flammable fuels.
• Fueling
a) Personnel involved with fueling
shall be qualified and thoroughly
familiar with the manufacturer's
instructions and applicable federal,
state, and local regulations regard-
ing the safe fueling of heating units.
b) Only the type of fuel specified on
the heater's data plate shall be used.
c) All flame, including the pilot
light, if any, shall be extinguished
and the heater allowed to cool, prior
to fueling.
Improper use of
this heater can
cause serious injury or death from
burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock,
and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Make certain you read and understand
all warnings. Keep these instructions
for reference. They are your guide to
safe and proper operation of this
heater.
d) During fueling, all fuel lines and
fuel-line connections shall be
inspected for leaks. Any leaks shall
be repaired prior to returning the
heater to service.
e) At no time shall more than one
day's supply of heater fuel be stored
inside a building in the vicinity of
the heater. Bulk fuel storage shall be
outside the structure.
f) All fuel storage shall be located a
minimum of 25 feet from heaters,
torches, welding equipment, and
similar sources of ignition (excep-
tion: the fuel reservoir integral with
the heater unit).
g) Whenever possible, fuel storage
shall be confined to areas where
floor penetrations do not permit fuel
to drip onto or be ignited by a fire at
lower elevation.
h) Fuel storage shall be in accor-
dance with the federal, state, or
local authority having jurisdiction.
• Never use heater where gasoline,
paint thinner, or other highly
flammable vapors are present.
• Follow all local ordinances and codes
when using heater.
• Use only in well-vented areas. Provide
at least three square feet of fresh,
outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr of
rating. This heater produces carbon
monoxide, which is listed by the
State of California as a reproductive
toxin under Proposition 65.
• Use only in places free of flammable
vapors or high dust content.
• Use only with the electrical voltage
and frequency specified on model
plate.
• Use only a three-prong, grounded
extension cord.
