SPECIFICATIONS
VENTILATION
Example: A 80,000 Btu/Hr (23.4 kw) heater
requires one of the following:
• a two-car garage door [16 feet (4.88 meter)
opening] raised 2.2" (5.6 cm)
• a single-car garage door [9 feet (2.74 me-
ter) opening] raised 3.3" (7.4 cm)
• two, 30" (76.2 cm) windows raised 6.2"
(13.9 cm)
FUELS
• noticeable odor
• additional fuel lter maintenance
* Use of #2 diesel/fuel oil in extreme cold
temperatures may require nontoxic anti-icer
additives.
Do not use fuels heavier than No. 2 grade
or heavy oils such as oil drained from crank-
cases. These heavy oils will not ignite properly
and will contaminate the heater.
IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY (blue)
or DIESEL ONLY (yellow) storage container.
Be sure storage container is clean. Foreign
matter such as rust, dirt or water will cause the
ignition control assembly to shut down heater.
Foreign matter may also require heater's fuel
system to be frequently cleaned.

WARNING: Provide a fresh air
opening of at least three square
feet (2,800 square cm) for each
100,000 BTU/HR rating. Provide
extra fresh air if more heaters
are being used. The minimum
ventilation requirements must
be followed to avoid risks as-
sociated with carbon monoxide
poisoning. Make certain these
requirements are met prior to
operating heater.
