This is a Diesel (1-K Kerosene) 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)
