This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is 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. 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 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
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kero sene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate contami nants, such as sulfur, which can cause a
rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or
#2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kero sene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air
ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be
added to the heated space. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in
more periodic maintenance.
Risk of indoor air pollution!
- Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at least a
three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every
100,000 BTU/hr of heater rating.
- People with breathing problems should consult a physician
before using the heater.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your
heater may not be working properly.
California Residents: Combustion by-products
produced when using this product contain carbon monoxide, a
chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
Massachusetts Residents: Massachusetts state law
prohibits the use of this heater in any building which is used in
whole or in part for human habitation. Use of this heating device
in Massachusetts requires local fire department permit (M.G.L.C.
148, Section 10A).
New York City Residents: The New York City Fire
Code prohibits the storage, handling and use of kerosene fueled
heaters for space heating. Any person violating that provision
may be punished by a fine up to $10,000 and a term of
imprisonment up to 6 months.
