WARNING: Installation of a Mobile Home 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 MUST be provided for combustion

and ventilation air. The air inlet must rem ain 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 make the air intake hook-up.

CAUTION: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOM E FLOOR, WALLS AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

1.W hen deciding on the location of your heater and vent pipe, try to minim ize the alteration and refram ing of structural 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 4" clearance to combustibles must be maintained for horizontal and vertical venting. W hen passing through ceilings or walls, you must use a listed wall thim ble, making sure all combustible materials and insulation products are a m inim um of 3" away from the pellet vent pipe.

4.A non-combustible 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 chim ney, a tee must be installed behind the heater before going up into the chim ney. This is necessary in order to rem ove fly ash accumulation.

6.Exit termination (distance to openings):

a.3 ft. minim um above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft.

b. 4 ft. minim um below and horizontally or 1 ft. minim um above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building.
