WARNING
The products described in this manual are kerosene
direct-fired, forced air heaters. Kerosene forced air
heaters are 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 only
small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in
accordance with the instructions in this manual can
result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a
physician before using this heater. Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of
improper ventilation/carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth
Sore Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater serviced
and check for proper ventilation. 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.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE PERMITTED
ONLY FOR: The temporary heating of adequately
ventilated buildings or structures under
construction, alteration or repair! Provide at least a
three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside
air for every 100,000 Btu/Hr
(29 kW) heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on
page 7 for further instructions.
