WARNING ****
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

LOCATING HEATER

Install heater away from traffic areas, maintaining clearances stated in figure 2 (below). The air flow direction should not be restricted (ie. by columns or  machinery). The air flow should wipe exposed walls rather than blowing directly on them. When more than one heater is used in an area, heaters should be installed so that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the others, to provide best warm air circulation as shown in figure 3.

PRE-INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE BRACKET
Refer to Figures 4a and 4b.

1. Locate a wood stud in the wood ceiling joist. If you cannot locate a wood stud, you have to install a wood piece on the ceiling as this heater must be securely fastened.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the heating unit by loosening bracket screws with a wrench and slipping the handle off over the screw heads.
3. Place a washer on screws before inserting through the holes in the mounting bracket and screw them securely into a ceiling joist.
   NOTE: If you want to swivel the heater either to the right or left adding a washer to both sides of the bracket is recommended. A longer lag bolt may be required to properly secure the unit. See Figure 4a.

HANGING THE HEATER

1. Attach the heating unit to the mounting bracket.
2. Lift the heater up and into the mounting bracket.
3. Align the bracket screws with the keyhole slots in the mounting bracket.
4. If the heater is to be tilted it must be positioned in the keyhole slots – see figure 5.
5. Tighten the bracket screws with a wrench so the unit is securely suspended at horizontal or vertical level.

ADJUSTING AIR FLOW DIRECTION

1. Toturn the unit when it has been installed with a single lag bolt (as shown in figure 4a), simply turn the entire heater as needed. The unit cannot be turned horizontally if it has been installed with 2 lag bolts.
2. Totilt the unit vertically, loosen the bracket screws (see figure 5). NOTE: For the heater to be tilted vertically, it must be mounted in bottom keyhole slots of mounting brackets to maintain adequate clearance and prevent possible overheating.
3. Adjust louvers to the desired position (see Figure 6). NOTE: The louvers are designed so they cannot be completely closed. Do not attempt to bypass this feature; damage to the unit can result.

WARNING
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT POWER TO THE HEATER AT THE MAIN SERVICE BOX BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE HEAT OUTPUT OF THIS UNIT.
MULTIPLE VERTICAL ANGLES CONNECTING THE POWER WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING.
If you will use an external temperature control (external thermostat) to control the heater to be operated or not, please follow below attention points:

1. Make sure that the heater’s temperature control knob (thermostat knob) is turned fully clockwise.
2. Connect the wire according to below wiring diagram. CONNECTING THE POWER
3. The external temperature control (external thermostat) should be in accordance with the requirement of UL or ETL standard.
4. The lead wire of external temperature control (external thermostat) can not be less than22 AWG.

TO PROTECT THE HEATING ELEMENT
When starting the heater, turning the temperature control clockwise slowly to terminal, the unit starts the fan first then starts the heating element.
When shutting off the heater, turning the temperature control counter- clockwise to off, the heating element first will turn off then the fan will run a short cooling cycle and then turn off.

WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED!
THE APPLIANCE MUST CONNECT TO A CURRENT PROTECTION CIRCUIT OR DEVICE AT 50AMP OR LESS BEFORE BEING CONNECTED TO POWER SUPPLY!

1. Remove the screw from the front of the unit to connect the power to the heater.

2. Attach the cable connectors to the unit (See Figure 7) and slide the 10-gauge wire through the cable connector.
   NOTE: All wiring must be carried out by a Certified Electrician and must be in accordance to national and local electrical codes. For certain applications, conduit may be required, See Figure 7. Check local electrical codes. If you run the wiring in conduit and wish to be able to turn the heater be sure to purchase enough flexible conduit to allow the heater to be turned.

3. Connect the wire to the power block located in the base of the heater – See Figure 7.

4. Turn on the power at the main service.
