Safety advice

The gas heater and accessories shall be installed and tested on site by a qualified, competent and
approved gas installer, according this manual and according all applicable local and national regulations.

The gas heater is designed for the brooding of selected livestock, like: chickens, piglets, game birds, ducks,
etc. within livestock rearing housing, or for local heating projects outside, or in workshops or other industrial
environment. It is not designed for any other heating applications. Do not use it inside habitable parts of
buildings and houses or for domestic use.

All air inlets in the livestock house shall be inspected and checked regularly to be clear of dust, dirt and any
foreign material to allow the free flow of fresh air into the building.

For safe operation a fresh air supply to the heater of at least 20 m³/h per 1 kW installed heat input is needed.
Note that in most situations animals need much more fresh air. A well ventilated area is very important for
safe operation of a gas heater. Follow in non-agricultural situations the requirements of EN13410.

Use only gas cylinders with a gas isolation valve or gas lines with a main gas valve at the beginning. In
case more than one heater is connected to a gas system, place also a gas tap directly before the heaters.
Close these taps when the heaters are not in use.

Do not use the heater in areas where gasoline or flammable liquids or gases may be present. Also keep a
safe distance to other easy inflammable materials like curtains, etc.

Do not touch, move, handle or service the gas heater while it is burning.
