  GENERAL SAFETY

• WARNING! THIS HEATER IS FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY DESIGNED FOR MOBILE AND TEMPORARY PROFESSIONAL APPLICATIONS.
  IT HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE NOR COMFORT HEATING AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO HEAT CLOSED ROOMS WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

• DANGER! Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Failure to provide proper ventilation could result in serious illness or death.

• Check that the heater is in sound condition and in good working order. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.

• Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• Only use diesel or kerosene to fuel this heater, according to instructions contained in this manual.

• Locate the heater on a level and stable surface.

• WARNING! Only use the heater in well-ventilated areas. Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area via windows and doors etc. If people are not required to be present in the heated area, the volume of air to be heated (m³)/heat output kW) ratio must be at least 10:1 and people must be advised not to remain in the heated area for prolonged periods. If people are required to be present in the heated area, the volume of air to be heated (m³)/heat output (kW) ratio must be at least 30:1. Ventilation must be to the outside of the premises in which the heater is to be operated. The total open area (m²) must be at least 0.003 times the total heat output (kW). The volume concentration of oxygen (O²) in the heated room, must always remain above 17%.
  WARNING! DO NOT use the heater near flammable material, liquids, solids, gases or compressed gas cylinders etc.

• DO NOT stand or place any object less than 3m from the heater output and keep the heater a minimum of 2m from any walls or objects.

• DO NOT use the heater in closed rooms, living areas, basements or below ground level.

• DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the heater and DO NOT operate the heater without the safety guard.

• DO NOT move or handle the heater when hot, without wearing protective gloves. Never move the heater whilst it is operating.

• DO NOT leave the heater unattended for prolonged periods when in use. Switch the heater off and unplug from the mains before leaving the work area.

• DO NOT fill the fuel tank whilst the heater is running or still hot. DO NOT over-fill the fuel container. Wipe up any spilt fuel immediately.

• DO NOT obstruct the air inlet (rear) and air outlet (front) of the heater and DO NOT use ductwork in front or at the rear of the heater.

• DO NOT allow children or animals near the heater when in use, or whilst still hot.

• WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT expose the heater to water spray, rain, dripping water or wind.

• DO NOT operate the heater when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

• DO NOT touch the heater outlet or cone when in use, or for a period of time after it’s switched off, as these are VERY hot and will take time to cool down.

• DO NOT switch the heater off by disconnecting it from the mains. ALWAYS set the switch on the burner to the ‘OFF’ position and allow the cooling cycle to finish, before disconnecting from the mains.

• DO NOT use an external fuel tank. Only use the tank that is fitted to the heater, and only fill it when the heater has cooled down.

• DO NOT use “old” or “second-hand” diesel or anything other than clean, fresh, new diesel.

• DO NOT use low-quality diesel. Always use high-quality and clean fuel that has been filtered before use. Using any other type of fuel will invalidate the warranty and could cause an explosion, a fire or the unit to malfunction.

• Ensure that the heater is correctly turned off.

• When not in use for an extended period, store in a safe, dry area, out of reach of children.
  IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended for persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by  a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with the appliance.

• Only suitable for clean, fresh, filtered diesel.

INTRODUCTION

A versatile and compact diesel-fuelled Infrared technology heater has no electric fan, meaning there is no air movement and the heat is spread evenly in all directions, quietly and dust-free. Ideal for use in well-ventilated indoor areas including garages, workshops, warehouses and marquees. Extremely inexpensive to run, using only around 1L of fuel per hour. Clean burn and precisely controlled fuel supply, ensure that no unpleasant odours or carbon monoxide enter the air. Equipped with advanced safety features including overheat protection, auto-misfire, tilt, shock, low fuel shut-off sensors and flame-out fuel cut. Features 24hr timer and temperature control thermostat. Soft-touch control panel with LED display. Fitted with four castor wheels for easy manoeuvrability. Stainless exhaust available – IREX1 (End Pipe), IREX2 (1m Extension), IREX3 (90° Bend). Only suitable for use with fresh, clean diesel. The use of any other fuels or old/second-hand diesel will invalidate the warranty and may cause the unit to malfunction.
