Operator Electrical SAFETY
DANGER! Electricity can KILL! Use extreme CAUTION around electrical
components. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or
serious injury.
DANGER Decal 0-48354 in Figure 2 is located on the Control Box of the Heater as
also shown in Figure 1.
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE the Heater with any components removed or
damaged. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage.
Never remove, cut, modify or damage any component part of the Heater.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from hot parts or parts in motion. Never wear
loose-fitting clothing or flowing scarves/jewelry around moving parts or equipment.
DANGER! Do not allow the Heater to run while any adjustments are being made.
Failure to shut it off will result in personal injury or death. Disconnect
electrical power BEFORE inspecting or servicing equipment unless
maintenance instructions specifically state otherwise. Failure to do so
will result in death or serious injury.
Before restarting a Heater that has been stopped because of an emergency, an
inspection of the Heater shall be made and the cause of the stoppage determined. The
starting device shall be locked or tagged out before any attempt is made to remove
the cause of the stoppage.
IMPORTANT! A LOCKOUT device must be installed at the time of the Heater
installation to prevent the machine from starting during a safety check,
maintenance, etc. Lockable disconnect switches should open control
enclosures containing hazardous voltage wiring.
All electrical equipment shall be grounded. Ground all non-current carrying metal
parts to guard against electrical shock.
WARNING! Under no circumstances should horseplay be permitted near the
Heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION! Because of the danger of flying debris, protective eyewear/safety glasses
MUST be worn during assembly, installation, maintenance or servicing of
this Heater. Failure to do so may result in minor or moderate injury.

Electrical Installation Requirements
WARNING! Heater installations shall meet the National Fire Protection Association
Standard 61B for the prevention of fires and explosions in grain
elevators and facilities handling bulk raw agricultural commodities.
Failure to follow this standard could result in death or serious injury.
In selecting electrical control equipment to be used with any installation, the
purchaser must use equipment conforming to the National Electrical Code, the
National Electrical Safety Code and other applicable local or national codes.
IMPORTANT! All electrical wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and all
components must meet the National Fire Protection Association
Standard NFPA No. 70, American National Standard Inst. ANSI-C1, and
local requirements.
BROCK assumes no responsibility for the electrical wiring used with
this Heater. BROCK will not be liable for damage to the Heater because

IMPORTANT! All Safety devices, including wiring of electrical devices shall be
arranged to operate such that a power failure or failure of the device
itself will not result in a hazardous condition.
CAUTION! To prevent a hazardous condition, the Heater MUST be prevented from
restarting on its own after a power failure when power returns.
Heater controls should be so arranged that, in case of emergency stop, manual resets
or starts (at the location where the emergency stop initiated) shall be required for
the Heater(s) and associated equipment to resume operation.

SAFETY Near Hot Surfaces
WARNING! If the Heater has been in operation, avoid contact with the Heater
surface, flame and ignition components until these parts have had
sufficient time to cool. Failure to follow this WARNING could cause
serious injury. Disconnect the power and allow the Heater to COOL
BEFORE servicing.
CAUTION! Do not operate the Heater with the Housing removed or damaged. Do
not permit any close object or obstruction to affect or restrict the airflow
output at the Heater front. To do so could cause equipment damage or
personal injury.
The WARNING Decal 0-48693 in Figure 3 is located on the Housing hear the front
opening of the Heater as shown in Figure 1.
SAFETY Near Combustible Fuels
WARNING! Avoid allowing open flame or lit cigarettes near Heater fuels and the
tanks and pipes which supply them to the Heater. Failure to follow this
WARNING could cause combustion/fire, equipment damage, and/or
serious injury.
CAUTION! Do not operate the Heater if fittings, hoses or other plumbing
components have been damaged. To do so may cause combustion/fire
leading to equipment damage or personal injury.

There are Suffocation Hazards in Flowing Grain!
DANGER! Be aware that where Heaters are installed in conjunction with Grain
Bins, there are other hazards involved. ONLY AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL should enter a Heater or Grain Bin area.
You CAN suffocate under material in a grain bin/tank.
Entry into ANY grain bin is a potential hazard.
DANGER! NEVER enter the tank during loading or unloading. Failure to follow
these instructions will lead to death or serious injury.
Flowing material may trap and suffocate, as shown in Figures 5 through 7 below.
Crusted material collapses and suffocates, as ahown in Figure 6.
