This is a kerosene direct-red, forced air heater. Kerosene forced
air heaters are primarily intended for use for temporary heating
of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Direct-red
means that all of the combustion products of the heater enter the
heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combustion efciency,
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
u. Symptoms of improper ventilation are: Symptoms of improper
ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness •Nausea • Dry Mouth Sore Throat •
Burning of Nose and Eyes
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that K-1 kerosene be used. K-1 kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate contaminants, 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 K-1 kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as K-1
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 heater
level, 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.
- Get fresh air at once! Have the heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include
pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems, anemia, or
those under the influence of alcohol, or at high altitudes.
Risk of burns / fire / explosion!
- NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners,
crankcase drainings, or other oil compounds in this heater (RISK
OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION).
