GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
 Failure to comply with the general 
safety information may result in extensive 
property damage, severe personal injury, or 
death.
 This product must be installed by 
a licensed plumber or gas fi tter when installed 
within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
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 CGA-B149.1 “Installation Codes for Natural 
Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment” or CGA-B149.2 
“Installation Codes for Propane Gas Burning Appliances 
and Equipment.” These unit heaters have been designed 
and certifi ed to comply with CGA 2.6. Also see sections 
on installation in AIRCRAFT HANGARS and PUBLIC 
GARAGES.
 Do not alter the unit heater in any 
way or damage to the unit and/or severe personal 
injury or death may occur!
Disconnect all power and gas 
supplies before installing or servicing the heater.  
If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock 
it in the open position and tag it to prevent 
unexpected application of power. Failure to do 
so could result in fatal electric shock, or severe 
personal injury.
 Ensure that all power sources conform 
to the requirements of the unit heater, or damage to 
the unit will result!
Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid 
creating unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done 
and checked by a qualifi ed electrician, using copper wire 
only. All gas connections should be made and leak-tested 
by a suitably qualifi ed 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.
 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.
Make certain that the power source conforms to the 
electrical requirements of the heater.
 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.
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 qualifi ed electrician.
Do not insert fi ngers 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 fl ammable, explosive, chemical-laden, 
or wet atmospheres.
Do not attach ductwork to this product or use it as a 
makeup air heater. Such usage voids the warranty and 
will create unsafe operation.
In cases in which property damage may result from 
malfunction of the heater, a back-up system or 
temperature sensitive alarm should be used.
 The open end of piping systems being 
purged shall not discharge 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!

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

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
