Safety Information
This heater is designed and approved for use as a con-
struction heater in accordance with ANSI Z83.7a/CSA
2.14a-2007. Other standards determine the use of fuel
gases and heat producing products for specific uses. This
infrared heater’s intended use is primarily for the tempo-
rary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or
repair.
Infrared-fired means that all of the combustion products
enter the heated space. This heater is rated at 98%
combustion efficiency, but still produces small amounts of
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans
can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
caution should be taken to provide adequate ventilation.
Failure to provide adequate ventilation in accordance with
this manual could result in death. Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu.
- The symptoms of inadequate 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 the proper safety precautions,
operating procedures and the hazards involved. 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 attitudes.
- This heater is not for use on finished floors.
- 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 . Modifying this
heater will void your warranty.
- Keep children and animals away from heater.
- Always set heater on a stable, level surface and use the
caster locks to prevent movement of the heater.
- NEVER use heater in occupied dwellings without
proper ventilation.
- Operate in a manner that heater will not be exposed
directly to rain or dripping water.
- Keep heater area free from combustible materials such
as gasoline, paint thinners and other flammable vapors
and liquids. Dust is combustible. Do not use heater in
areas of high dust concentration.
