This is a Kerosene (1-K Diesel) directed-fire forced air heater. It is
primarily intended for use for temporary heating of buildings
under construction, alteration or repair. Directed-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.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead
to death!
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 kerosene be used, 1-K 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 may also be used if 1-K
kerosene 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 (2800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every
29KW/hr ) of heater rating
-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.
R Risk of burns / fire / explosion!
-NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene paint thinners, or
other oil compounds in this heater(RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION)
Fire,burn, inhalation and explosion hazard.
Keep combustibles, such as building
materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the
heater as recommended by these instructions. Never use the
heater in spaces which contain products such as gasoline,
solvents, paint thinners, dust particles, volatile or airborne
combustibles, or any unknown chemicals. This is an unvented
portable heater.It uses air (oxygen) from the area in which it is
used. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided.Refer to VENTILATION on Page 7.
Do not operate this heater until you have
read, and thoroughly understand these
safety and operating instruction. Failure to comply with the
precautions and instructions provided with this heater can result
in death, serious bodily injury, property loss or damage from the
hazards of fire, soot production, explosion, burns, asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning. Only persons who can read and
understand these instructions should use or service this heater.
Not for use in home or recreational vehicles.
Electrical Safety It is the responsibility of
the owner to check this electrical product
before use to ensure it is safe. You must inspect power cables ,
plugs, sockets etc for signs of wear or damage. You must ensure
this risk of electric shock is minimized by the installation of
appropriate safety devices. A residual current circuit breaker
(RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board.
We also recommend a residual current device is used (RCD). An
RCD is Particularly important for mobile devices that are
connected to a supply without an RCCB. Any fault rectification or
electrical work including the connection of a plug must be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
You must also comply with electrical safety requirements
including the Electricity at Work Act 1989 which requires
portable electrical appliances used on business premises be PAT
tested annually. The Health & Safety at work Act 1974 places
responsibility for safe condition of electrical appliances upon
owners. Power cables and plugs should always be regularly
inspected for safety. If in doubt about electrical safety, you
must consult a qualified electrician.
