INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS
OWNER/INSTALLER: For your safety this manual must be carefully read before installing, operating or
servicing this brooder. This brooder is intended for use with either Natural Gas or Propane Gas. It must be
installed by a qualified service person or a licensed contractor in accordance with state and local codes. In
the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition) also know a NFPA54 or the CAN/CGA-B149.1/2 Installation Code in Canada.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury, property
damage or death. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
INSPECT all combustion air openings into the building and, if necessary, clear as they become blocked by
litter, dust, feathers or other matter.
INSPECT and clean the brooder filters on a regular basis to allow proper brooder operation.
FOR YOUR SAFETY: EXHAUST FANS MUST be operating on an appropriate cycle when brooders are operating
to avoid a high concentration of carbon monoxide. When used without fresh air, this brooder may give off
carbon monoxide, an odorless and poisonous gas. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness and nausea. If you
experience these signs, GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY! Have the brooders serviced as soon as possible and
check the ventilation in the house.
These brooders are designed for agricultural applications and may operate with the use of either Natural Gas
or Liquid Propane (LP) Gas. Check the brooder's nameplate to determine the correct gas type before
proceeding with installation.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
! DO NOT try to light any appliance.
! DO NOT touch any electrical switch; do not use any
telephone in your building.
! IMMEDIATELY call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
telephone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. If you
cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
