starting:
1. Turn off the heater, radio, and all electrical
accessories.

be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch bands and bracelets that could

could be seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
