BK17 Heater Good air flow keeps the heater cool but can very easily move light debris such as paper, cardboard, and dust with great velocity. Loose materials around the heater, especially near the intake and exhaust, must be secured to prevent movement. Material on the exhaust side may be blown into and injure a bystander. -

Can I use the 120 volt extension cords and the 240 volt extension cords at the same time? The BK17 is designed to use both 120 volts and 240 volts at the same time. What size power cord should I use? It depends on how long the extension cord is. - Page 15 BK17 Heater What size space can be treated with a BK17 Heater? Treatment times will vary depending on the type of construction and the conditions of the treatment area, the objects in the treatment area, and the voltage supplied to the unit.
