Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to
death! Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. Early
signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have
these signs, the heater may not be
operating properly, or the areas may
not be sufficiently ventilated. Get fresh
air at once! Have heater serviced.
IMPORTANT: Not every possible circum-
stance that might involve a hazard can be
anticipated. The warnings in this manual
and on tags or decals affixed to the unit
are therefore not all-inclusive. If a
procedure, work method, or operating
technique not specifically recommended
by Dayton is used, you must make sure it
is safe for you and others. You should
also ensure that equipment will not be
damaged or made unsafe by the operat-
ing or maintenance method you choose.
Use only Kerosene,
#1/#2 diesel/fuel oil,
JET A or JP-8 fuels to avoid risk of
fire or explosion. Never use gasoline,
naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol, or
other highly flammable fuels.
• Fueling
a) Personnel involved with fueling
shall be qualified and thoroughly
familiar with the manufacturer's
instructions and applicable federal,
state, and local regulations regard-
ing the safe fueling of heating units.
b) Only the type of fuel specified on
the heater's data plate shall be used.
Improper use of this
heater can cause
serious injury or death from burns, fire,

monoxide poisoning.
Make certain you read and understand
all warnings. Keep these instructions

c) All flame, including the pilot
light, if any, shall be extinguished

fuel-line connections shall be
inspected for leaks. Any leaks shall
be repaired prior to returning the
heater to service.

day's supply of heater fuel be stored
inside a building in the vicinity of
the heater. Bulk fuel storage shall be

torches, welding equipment, and
similar sources of ignition (excep-
tion: the fuel reservoir integral with
the heater unit).
g) Whenever possible, fuel storage
shall be confined to areas where
floor penetrations do not permit fuel
to drip onto or be ignited by a fire at
lower elevation.
h) Fuel storage shall be in accor-
dance with the federal, state, or
local authority having jurisdiction.
