In all situations, clearances to combustibles must be maintained. Failure to observe clearances to combustibles can result in death, severe injury or property damage. Signs should be posted in storage areas to specify the maximum stacking height of items placed below heater to maintain required clearances to combustibles. Minimum clearances must be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater. Caution should be used when running the system near combustible materials such as wood, paper, rubber, etc. Consideration should be given to partitions, storage racks, hoists, building construction,etc.

2.2Halogenated Hydrocarbons
CAUTION
Do not use heater in an area containing corrosive chemicals.
Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals to ensure a longer life of the burner, tubing and other parts.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in property damage.
*Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical com- pounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (flourine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the lifespan of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
