WARNING
!
Heater Mounting
Improper suspension of the infra-red
heater may result in collapse and persons
being crushed. Always suspend from a
permanent part of the building structure
that can support the total force and
weight of the heater.
Failure to maintain minimum clearance to
combustibles may result in fire and/or
explosion, property damage, serious
injury or death. Always maintain
minimum clearances and post signs or
provided tags (F/N: LL01) where needed. Signs should
state the hazards for the particular application and be
legible for the building occupants. Consult the factory or
a factory representative for additional information on
signage compliance.
The heater can be suspended with chains or rigid
threaded rod. Local codes, or conditions such as wind
drafts or other variables can cause movement of the
heater and may require rigid threaded rod. Avoid
excessive movement and/or vibration of the gas
connection by rigidly mounting the heater. The heater
mounting brackets can be used in place of rigid
threaded rods (see Figures 2.5 - 2.6). Consult all
applicable codes before installation.
The heater must be level from side to side and can be
set at an angle between 0° and 30° from horizontal.
The gas connection and power cord must be located on
the lower side (see Figure 2.4).
Level end to end
The gas connection and
power cord must located

of the heater (towards
