WARNING! Risk of indoor air pollution!
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.
DANGER! Carbon monoxide poison may lead
to death.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can
tolerate only small amounts of carbon
monoxide, 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 and 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 affected by carbon monoxide more 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 feet opening of outside air
for every 100,000 BTU/HR heater rating. Refer to
Ventilation on page 5 for more information.
