GENERAL INFORMATION

This heater is a self-contained infrared radiant tube heater designed for use in poultry houses where flammable
gases or vapors are not generally present.
For indoor installation only. Not for use in residential dwellings.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation of this heater must be in accordance with all applicable codes shown in the instructions and/or the
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the heater must be installed in
accordance to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 in the U.S. or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 in Canada. Heaters shall be installed by a licensed contractor or licensed installer.
Clearances to combustibles as outlined in the manual should always be observed. In areas used for storage of
combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, NFPA54 requires that the installer must
post signs that will "specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from
the heater to combustibles."
Inspect all openings regularly and clean as necessary. This is necessary because litter, dust feathers and other
matter can become airborne and clog openings and adversely affect heater operation and performance.
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to
the heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give
consideration to service accessibility.
Warning instructions must be followed to prevent or avoid hazards which
may cause serious injury, property damage or death.
Caution instructions must be followed to prevent incorrect operation or
installation of the heater which may cause minor injury or property
damage.
