WARN ING : Installation of a M obile Ho me Attachment Kit P/N 10412 and outside combustion air is mandatory in mobile or modular home installations although it may

also be used in all residential applications.

An outside air inlet MU ST be provided for combustion

and ventilation air. The air inlet must remain unrestricted while unit is in use. Outside air connection is located in the rear of the heater (Figure 2). Use conduit pipe or metal flex pipe and/or fittings to mak e the air intake hook-up.

CAUTION: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MO BILE HOME FLOOR, WALLS AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

1.W hen deciding on the location of your heater and vent pipe, try to minimize the alteration and reframing of struc tural com ponents of the building . Vent pipe must be installed so that access is provided for inspection and cleaning.

2.Avoid installing heater in high traffic areas. Keep children well away from the heater when in operation.

3.A 3" clearance to combustibles must be maintained for horizontal and vertical venting. W hen passing through ceilings or walls, you must use a listed wall thimble, making sure all combustible materials and insulation products are a minimum of 3" away from the pellet vent pipe.

4.A non-com bustible hearth pad must be used if installed on a carpet, wood floor or other combusti- ble material (see Figure 3).

5.W hen installing the exhaust vent into an existing chimney, a tee must be installed behind the heater before going up into the chim ney. This is necessary in order to remove fly ash accumulation.
