Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: The early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to
those of the flu, such as headache, dizziness, and nausea. If you notice these
symptoms, it could be a sign that your heater is not working correctly. Go outside
immediately! Have your heater checked! Some people are more susceptible to carbon
monoxide than others: e.g., pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or
anaemia, people under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes. Make sure
that you have read and understood all warnings. Keep these instructions for future
reference. It is your guide to the safe and proper operation of this heater.
Use only diesel to avoid the risk of fire and explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint
solvents, alcohol, or other highly flammable fuels.
Fuel:
Personnel involved in fuel refilling must be trained and thoroughly familiar with the
manufacturer's instructions and applicable guidelines for safe heater refilling. Only diesel
fuel may be used. Any flame, including the pilot light, must be extinguished to allow the
heater to cool before refilling with fuel.
All fuel lines and connections must be checked for leaks while fuel is being filled. Any
leaks must be repaired before the heater is put back into operation.
Do not store more than the daily amount of fuel inside buildings near the heater. All fuel
storage facilities must have a minimum distance of 7m from heaters, burners, welding
equipment, and similar ignition sources (except the fuel tank integrated into the heater).
If possible, fuel storage should be limited to areas where the floor construction prevents
the accumulation of fuel spillage, and lower fire sources cannot ignite fuel. Fuel storage
must be following local government regulations.
General:
Never operate the heater near gasoline, paint solvents, or other highly flammable
vapours.
Follow all local rules and regulations for the use of this heater.
Heaters that are operated near cover mats, tent canvas, or other roofing materials must
be placed at a safe distance from these materials. The recommended minimum distance
is 3.5m. It is also recommended that fireproof roofing materials are used. The roofing
materials must be securely fastened to protect them from the ignition and to prevent
them from touching or tipping over the heater in gusts of wind.
Use only in well-ventilated rooms. Before the operation, make sure that per 100,000
BTU/hour heat output, there is a ventilation opening of at least 2800cm² to the fresh
outside air.
Use only in places where no flammable vapours or high dust content is present.
Only operate under the voltage and frequency specified on the type plate.
Always use a properly grounded extension cable with a three-pin plug.
To avoid fire hazard, the hot or operating heater must be placed on a safe, level surface.
The heater must be moved or stored in a horizontal position to prevent fuel spillage.
Keep the customer and pets away from the heater.
