Safety Information
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is
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. Carbon
monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon
monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation.
Failure to provide proper ventilation in 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 *
If the heater is being used in the presence of others, be sure to
inform them of all proper safety precautions,
operating procedures and hazards. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These are preg-
nant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those
under the influence of alcohol or at high
altitudes.
- Check the heater thoroughly for damage before each use. DO
NOT operate a damaged heater.
- DO NOT modify this heater or operate a heater that has been
modified from it’s original state.
- NEVER use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinner, alcohol or other
fuels of any kind to operate this heater.
- Suitable for outdoor use. Provide at least 3 square feet of
opening per 100,000 Btu of rated operation (See page 6).
- Keep heater area free from combustible materials such as
gasoline, paint thinners and other flammable vapors and liq-
uids. Dust is combustible. Do not use heater in areas of high
dust concentration.
Minimum clearance from Combustibles:
Top Sides Front
70k 4 ft. 4 ft. 8 ft.
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 fuel) 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.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to
death!
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.
California Residents: Combustion by-products
produced when using this product contain carbon
monoxide, a chemical known to the state of California to
cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive
harm).
Do not operate this heater until you
have read, and thoroughly understand
these safety and operating instructions. 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 homes or recreational vehicles.
Massachusetts Residents: Massachusetts state
law prohibits the use of this heater in any building which is
used in whole or in part for human habitation. Use of this
heating device in Massachusetts requires local fire
department permit (M.G.L.C. 148, Section 10A).
New York City Residents: The New York City Fire
Code prohibits the storage, handling and use of kerosene
fueled heaters for space heating. Any person violating
that provision may be punished by a fine up to $10,000
and a term of imprisonment up to 6 months.
WARNING
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 Page 6.
