cable cutters. Rescuers should wear insulated gloves and safety glasses, and avoid looking at wires being cut. The
ensuing flash can cause burns and blindness.
If the victim must be removed from a live circuit, pull the victim away with a non-conductive material. Use wood, rope,
a belt or coat to pull or push the victim away from the current. DO NOT TOUCH the victim. You will receive a shock from
current flowing through the victim's body. After separating the victim from power source, immediately check for signs
of a pulse and respiration. If no pulse is present, start CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation). If a pulse is present,
respiration might be restored by using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Call for emergency medical assistance.

• Route the heater exhaust so that exhaust fumes can not enter
into the passenger compartments.
• Ensure an air tight seal will be maintained between the heater and
mounting surface and at any exhaust connection points.
• Ensure that heating air supply is taken from an area where
poisonous gases will not be present.
• When the heater is installed in a enclosed compartment separate
from the evaporator, a inlet for return air must be installed to
provide the heater with a fresh air supply.
• If running exhaust components through an enclosed
compartment, ensure that it is vented to the outside.
• The enclosed compartment must be free of any holes, cracks or
rusted out areas to prevent fumes from entering into the
passenger compartment.
• The heater must be installed flush with the floor pan (i.e. sheet
metal, fiberglass, etc.) to ensure proper sealing of the mounting
plate and gasket.
• The heater must not be operated in closed areas such as garages,
buildings, warehouses, etc.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
