Safety
The Model 4069P heater is designed for safe operation. Nevertheless, installation,
maintenance, and operation of the heater can be dangerous for a careless operator or
maintenance person. For your safety and the safety of others, read the instructions in this
instruction manual and follow these safety practices to help prevent accident or injury.
INFRARED RADIATION - CAUTION!
Continuous exposure to high-
intensity infrared radiation at close proximity could be harmful to eyes or skin. Although
infrared lamps emit negligible ultra violet electromagnetic radiation, harmful burns can
still result if an operator is in close contact with lamps being operated at high intensity.
Because of the brilliant light emitted by infrared lamps at full intensity, it is recommended
that eyes be shielded from the glare if observing the lamps for an extended period of time.
Use suitable shaded lenses or dark glasses.
A latching shock is installed on the left side of the model 4069 heater. The latch will
prevent the heater from closing should the gas strut fail. When closing the heater pull the
knob to release the latch while closing. Failure to release latch can cause damage to the
heater if forced closed.
Parts of the heater may exceed 500°F (260°C). Contact with the lamps, reflector, or metal
parts near the lamps may cause severe burns.
WARNING!
NEVER place hands under or in front of the heating elements.
ALWAYS allow heating element to cool at least three minutes before touching the lamps
or adjacent parts.
There is danger of electrical shock when servicing the heater.
CAUTION! Observe all applicable local and national electrical codes and ensure that
a safe electrical ground system is installed before attempting to operate the heater. Refer
to the Section 5 for proper installation procedures.
WARNING!
ALWAYS disconnect the external power lines prior to servicing the heater.
ALWAYS disconnect the power lines AND any optional interlock circuits before
installing or changing lamps.
NEVER operate the heater with end covers removed.
