* It is important that the safety precautions listed below are understood and followed prior to first
operation of the heater. These precautions must also be followed thereafter.
DANGER
1
Use of gasoline
prohibited
Never use gasoline, for any purpose, for example, for cleaning or as fuel, in
connection with, or around, operation or storage of the heater, as a fire and/or
explosion may result.
2
Use of flamma-
bles prohibited
Never use or store the heater where thinner, gasoline, liquid propane gas, or
other highly flammable vapors, etc., are present, because these may lead to ex-
plosion or fire.
3
Ventilation
required
Never use the heater in poorly ventilated areas. Poor ventilation allows a
buildup of carbon monoxide produced by the heater, especially if there is also
inadequate combustion. CARBON MONOXIDE is a colorless and odorless
poisonous gas that may lead to death or other injury. Always provide a fresh
supply of outside or circulating air whenever the heater is used. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others, including pregnant women,
persons with heart disease, lung disease, anemia, and/or under the influence of
alcohol. High altitude also creates a higher danger of susceptibility to carbon
monoxide. Danger signs that a person may be suffering from carbon monoxide
poisoning include, headache, dizziness, burning eyes and nose, nausea, and dry
mouth or sore throat. If any of these symptoms occur, immediately seek medi-
cal attention, ventilate the area, and turn the heater off.
WARNING
1Keep aerosol contain-
ers away from the
heater
Never place sealed, pressurized containers (such as aerosol cans) near the heat-
er as exposure to heat from the heater may build up pressure in the container
and cause it to explode with deadly force.
2Never use the heater
where flammable
dusts are present
Never operate the heater where highly flammable dusts (of wood, paper, tex-
tile, etc.) are present. Dusts, after sucked and heated by the heater, will be
blown out “sparked” and cause a fire.
3
Be careful of hot sur-
faces on and around
the heater
Portions of the heater (both while the heater is in operation and for 30 minutes
or more after the heater is turned off), are hot to the touch and may burn the
skin and/or ignite clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid touching
the burner and nearby areas while the heater is in operation and for at least 30
minutes after it is turned off. Also do not move or service the heater while it is
operating or hot.
4
Do not service the
heater while burning
Do not service or handle the heater while burning, in operation, hot or
plugged-in to avoid any injury and/or trouble.
5Modification of the
heater prohibited
Never modify the heater by any means. Any modification may increase the
chance of burns, fires, explosions, or other problems before, during, and after
operation of the heater.
6
Be careful of electri-
cal shock
To avoid electrical shock, never use the heater where exposed to rain, snow
or high humidity. If the heater or any part of it becomes immersed in water,
immediately contact a qualified service agency to inspect the heater and de-
termine if anything needs to be replaced prior to further operation. Make sure
the power plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet, before starting daily
inspection and maintenance.
7Never use the heater
for any residential
application
This heater is for industrial use only. Never use the heater for any residential
application at all time. Wrong use of this heater can result in potential death,
serious injury, fire and/or possible explosion.

3 How to use
3-1. Preparation for operation
■
Refueling
Observations
• Please use “kerosene” or “Fuel-Oil no heavier than No.2 (Diesel)” and do not use poor quality or foul fuel, to help avoid
ignition, operating, and other problems.
DANGER
• Never use highly flammable fuel like gasoline, to avoid fire.
•
Never contaminate or mix fuels. For example, never contaminate kerosene with gaso
-
line by using a gasoline container to carry kerosene. Even a small amount of gasoline,
or other volatile fuels, in kerosene is hazardous. Store kerosene only in containers spe
-
cifically labeled and approved for kerosene and do not use the container for any other
fuels or chemicals.
• Please refuel only while the heater is turned off and completely extinguished.
• Use only the electric power (voltage and frequency) specified on the model plate of the
heater to operate the heater. Using electrical power different from the specifications
may result in fire, electrical shock, and/or damage.
• Please confirm the ground/earth cable is properly connected, to prevent electrical shock.
CAUTION • When disconnecting the electric power cord, be sure to always pull the plug out by it-
self. Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the power cord. Also, do not allow or cause
excessive force to be exerted on the cord at any time to avoid damaging it and causing
a fire or shock hazard. The heater should not be operated with the power cord in a taut
or tightened position to further avoid damage to the cord, accidental unplugging of the
electricity, and fire and/orshock.
