OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It's intended use is primarily temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair.

Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. We can tolerate small amounts but not a lot. CO can build up in a heated space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in death. The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:

headache

dizziness

burning eyes and nose

nausea

dry mouth or sore throat

So, be sure to follow advice about ventilation in these operating instructions.

Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air through the heater. Proper combustion depends upon this air flow; therefore, the heater must not be revised, modified or operated with parts removed or missing. Likewise, safety systems must not be circumvented or modified in order to operate the heater.

When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other people the user is responsible for properly acquainting those present with the safety precautions and instructions, and of the hazards involved.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.Check the heater thoroughly for damage. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.

2.DO NOT modify the heater or operate a heater which has been modified from its original condition.

3.Use only Kerosene. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinner, alcohol or other fuels of any kind.

4.For indoor use only. Not for use where exposed to weather.

5.Use in well ventilated areas, provide at least 2 sq. ft. (0.19 sq. m.) of opening near the floor and 2 sq. ft. (0.19 sq. m.)

near the ceiling directly to outdoors. Increase air openings as marked for each additional heater.

6.Always keep combustibles, like paper and wood at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) from the heater outlet and 3 ft. (1.0 m) from the top, sides and inlet. Locate 10 ft. (3.0 m) from canvas or plastic coverings and secure them to prevent flapping movement.

7.Caution: Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults and children must observe clearances to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Do Not Touch. Keep Children, Clothing, and Combustibles away.

8.Install the heater such that it is not directly exposed to water spray, rain and / or water.

9.Never use in areas normally for habitation and /or where children may be present.

10.Operate only on a stable, level surface. (MH50K & MH75KT

– See wood floor warning).

11.Do not use with duct work. Do not restrict inlet or exit.

12.Use only with electrical power specified. The electrical connection and grounding must comply with National Electrical Code – ANSI/NFPA 70 (USA) and CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 (Canada).

13.Use only a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle or extension cord.

14.Do not move, handle, or service while hot or burning.

15.Use only in accordance with local, state (provincial) or National requirements, ordinances and codes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING

1.Remove all protective material which may have been applied to the heater for shipment.

2.Remove heater from carton.

3.Check the heater for possible shipping damage. If any damage is found immediately notify the dealer from whom you purchased the heater.

ASSEMBLY (For 125,000 and 175,000 BTU/hr models only)

Wheel and handles are found in the shipping carton along with mounting hardware. The wheels, axle and mounting hardware are in a package. Tools required are a 5/16" nutdriver, 3/8" open or adjustable wrench and standard pliers.

MH125KT, HS50KT, HS75KT, HS125KT, HS175KT specifications

Enerco is well-known in the heating industry for producing reliable and efficient propane and natural gas heaters. Among their popular models are the MH75KT, MH50KT, MH175KT, HS175KT, and HS125KT, each designed to cater to various heating needs while ensuring optimal performance.

The MH75KT is a versatile forced air heater with a maximum output of 75,000 BTUs, making it suitable for larger workshops or construction sites. It features a durable design and portability, allowing users to easily move it wherever heat is needed. This model boasts an innovative ignition system that provides a quick start-up and a safety shutoff feature that enhances user safety.

The MH50KT offers a slightly lower output at 50,000 BTUs, making it ideal for smaller spaces. It is particularly appreciated for its compact design and light weight, allowing it to be transported with ease. Similar to the MH75KT, it utilizes a dependable ignition system and is designed to operate efficiently, maximizing fuel usage to reduce costs.

For more substantial heating requirements, the MH175KT provides an impressive 175,000 BTUs. This model is suited for large warehouses and outdoor spaces. It includes advanced heating technology, such as a high-efficiency fan for even heat distribution, ensuring comfortable temperatures throughout the area. The MH175KT also features built-in safety mechanisms to prevent overheating and carbon monoxide buildup.

The HS175KT and HS125KT models are designed with high-performance indoor use in mind, delivering 175,000 and 125,000 BTUs, respectively. Both heaters utilize Infrared technology, which provides direct heat to objects and people within their radius rather than merely warming the air. This feature makes them highly effective for working environments where instant heat is crucial. The HS series also offers adjustable heat settings, allowing users to customize their heating experience.

All these models come equipped with necessary safety features such as thermocouples and safety shutoff switches, ensuring that users can operate them with peace of mind. In addition, Enerco’s commitment to quality means that each heater undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability and durability.

In summary, Enerco’s MH and HS series heaters provide a range of options suitable for various applications, from small workshops to large industrial spaces.
