Fueling

a)Personnel involved with fueling shall be qualified and thoroughly familiar with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable regulations regarding the safe fueling of heat- ing units.

b)Only the type of fuel specified on the heater's data plate shall be used.

c)All flame, including the pilot light, if any, shall be extinguished and the heater allowed to cool, prior to fueling.

d)During fueling, all fuel lines and fuel-line connections shall be inspected for leaks. Any leaks shall be repaired prior to returning the heater to service.

e)At no time shall more than one day's supply of heater fuel be stored inside a building in the vicinity of the heater. Bulk fuel storage shall be outside the structure.

f)All fuel storage shall be located a minimum of 25 feet (762cm) from heaters, torches, welding equipment, and similar sources of ignition (exception: the fuel reservoir inte- gral with the heater unit).

g)Whenever possible, fuel storage shall be con- fined to areas where floor penetrations do not permit fuel to drip onto or be ignited by a fire at lower elevation.

h)Fuel storage shall be in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.

Use only the electrical voltage and frequency specified on model plate.

Heater must be grounded. Use only a properly grounded three-wire extension cord. Plug into grounded outlet only.

Use only in areas free of flammable vapors or high dust content.

Minimum clearance from any combustible materials: 8 feet (244 cm) from hot air outlet; 4 feet (122 cm) from top; and 4 feet (122 cm) from sides and inlet.

Locate heater on a stable and level surface while hot or operating or a fire may occur.

Use only in well-vented areas. Before using heater, provide at least a three-square-foot (2800 square cm) opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr (30 kw) of rating.

Keep children and animals away from heater at all times.

Never start heater when combustion chamber is hot or if fuel has accumulated in combustion chamber.

When used with thermostat, heater may start at anytime.

When heater is moved or stored, it must be in a level position or fuel spillage may occur.
