Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical 
requirements of the heater.
Special attention must be given to any grounding information 
pertaining to this heater. To prevent the risk of electrocution, 
the heater must be securely and adequately grounded. This 
should be accomplished by connecting a ground conductor 
between the service panel and the heater. To ensure a proper 
ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified 
electrician.
Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into heater or its air 
moving device. Do not block or tamper with the heater in any 
manner while in operation, or just after it has been turned off, 
as some parts may be hot enough to cause injury.
This heater is intended for general heating applications 
ONLY. It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations 
such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden, or wet 
atmospheres.
In cases in which property damage may result from 
malfunction of the heater, a back-up system or temperature 
sensitive alarm should be used.
Unless otherwise specified, the following conversions may 
be used for calculating SI unit measurements:
1 foot = 0.305 m 
1 inch = 25.4 mm 
 
1 gallon = 3.785 L 
1 pound = 0.453 kg
1 psig = 6.894 kPa
1 cubic foot = 0.028m

General Safety Information
Installation must be made in accordance with local codes, 
or in absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the 
ANSI Standard Z223.1 (N.F.P.A. No. 54) National Fuel Gas 
Code. 
All of the ANSI and NFPA Standards referred to in 
these installation instructions are those that were applicable 
at the time the design of this appliance was certified. The 
ANSI Standards are available from CSA Information Services, 
1-800-463-6727. The NFPA Standards are available from the 
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, 
Quincy, MA  02269. These unit heaters are designed for 
use in airplane hangars when installed in accordance with 
ANSI/NFPA No. 409, and in public garages when installed in 
accordance with NFPA No. 88A and NFPA No.88B.
If installed in Canada, the installation must conform with local 
building codes, or in the absence of local building codes, 
with CSA-B149.1 “Installation Codes for Natural Gas Burning 
Appliances and Equipment” or CSA-B149.2 “Installation 
Codes for Propane Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.” 
These unit heaters have been designed and certified to 
comply with CSA 2.6. Also see sections on installation in 
AIRCRAFT HANGARS and PUBLIC GARAGES.
Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating 
unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done and checked 
by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only. All gas 
connections should be made and leak-tested by a suitably 
qualified individual, per instructions in this manual. Also 
follow procedures listed on “Gas Equipment Start-Up Sheet” 
located in this manual.
Use only the fuel for which the heater is designed (see rating 
plate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires natural gas, or 
vice versa, will create risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide 
poisoning, and explosion.
1000 BTU/cu. ft. = 37.5 MJ/m3
1000 BTU per hour = 0.293 kW
1 inch water column = 0.249 kPa
1 litre/second = CFM x 0.472
1 meter/second = FPM ÷ 196.8
CAUTION
Ensure that all power sources conform to the requirements of 
the unit heater, or damage to the unit will result!
WARNING
Failure to comply with general safety information may result in 
extensive property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
WARNING
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fit-
ter when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
WARNING
Do not alter the unit heater in any way or damage to the unit 
and/or severe personal injury or death may occur!
WARNING
Disconnect all power and gas supplies before installing or ser-
vicing the heater. If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it 
in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected applica-
tion of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock, 
or severe personal injury.
WARNING
Do not attempt to convert the heater for use with a fuel other 
than the one intended. Such conversion is dangerous, as it will 
create the risks previously listed.
WARNING
Do not depend upon a thermostat or other switch as sole means 
of disconnecting power when installing or servicing heater. 
Always disconnect power at main circuit breaker as described 
above. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock.
CAUTION
The open end of piping systems being purged shall not dis-
charge into areas where there are sources of ignition or into 
confined spaces UNLESS precautions are taken as follows: (1) 
by ventilation of the space, (2) control of the purging rate, (3) 
elimination of all hazardous conditions. All precautions must be 
taken to perform this operation in a safe manner!
