IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only the mounting brackets provided with this heater. Heater must be installed in a horizontal
manner parallel with the ground. The heater can, however, be tilted upward to a maximum of 30 degrees. NEVER
mount the heater on a vertical axis. Such an installation is considered unsafe and will void all warranties.
Eave Fascia Mounting
If it has been determined that the heater will be mounted on the fascia of an eave, then the heater should be mounted
with the brackets in the EXTENDED position only. The heater can be mounted in either the straight down position, or
angled upward to a maximum of 30 degrees AWAY from the house. DO NOT MOUNT HEATER TOWARD the house, as,
this position would allow exhaust heat to be directed toward the combustible fascia. It is important to note that, when
mounting on a fascia, the lower pivot mounting screw (normally located within the curved slot) will NOT be used.

In all mounting configurations, it is critical to NOT exceed a MAXIMUM pivot angle of 30 degrees. When using this
mounting configuration, since the lower pivot bolt will not be used, the maximum angle control slot will also not be
used. The maximum 30 degree pivot angle can be determined by sighting the angled surface near the top of the heater .
When this surface is parallel with the ground, the heater is at 30 degrees ( See illustration on page 8). When mounting
on a fascia, NO PORTION OF THE HEATER SHALL BE CLOSER THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE FASCIA SURFACE.
