DANGER:
Carbon monoxide asphyxiation can be fatal.
CARBON MONOXIDE ASPHYXIATION:
The first symptoms of carbon monoxide asphyxiation are similar to that of the flu, headaches, dizziness
and/or nausea. These symptoms could be caused by the malfunction of the Radiant Heater. In this case
go outside immediately. Have the Radiant Heater repaired. Then you may start it again. Some people
are more affected by the effects of carbon monoxide than others, especially pregnant women, those
who suffer from heart or lung disease or people with anemia; also those who have consumed alcoholic
beverages, and those who are at high altitudes. Be sure to read and understand all of the warnings. Save
this manual for future reference: it will provide you with instructions to operate your radiant heater
safely and correctly.
USE ONLY NO. 2 FUEL OIL, OR DIESEL:
To diminish the risk of fire or explosion. Never use gasoline, crankcase drainings, naphtha, paint
thinners, alcohol or other highly flammable materials.
FILLING THE TANK
a. The person filling the tank should be qualified and completely familiar with the factory instructions
for the operation of the radiant heater.
b. Use only the type of fuel expressly specified on the identification plate located on the Radiant Heater.
c. Before filling the tank, extinguish all of the flames, including the radiant heater and wait for the
radiant heater to cool down.
d. While filling the tank inspect all of the fuel lines and their junctions to check for fuel losses. Any
losses must be repaired before starting the radiant heater again.
e. All of the fuel tanks should be located a minimum safety distance from the heater, (like current
government regulation), as well as oxyhydrogen blowpipe/ torches, welding equipment and similar
ignition sources (with the exception of the fuel tank incorporated in the Radiant Heater).
f. The fuel should be stored in areas where the flooring will not soak up any fuel spills or any drips of
fuel line, the flame underneath that could cause a fire.
g. All fuel storage must be stored in compliance with the current regulations.
