Essential Safety Measures During Installation and Operation

• Location and Ventilation: Place the heater on a stable, flat surface away from combustible materials. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
• Fuel Handling: Use only approved diesel fuel types. Store fuel in appropriate containers away from heat sources and open flames.
• Electrical Connections: Follow manufacturer guidelines for electrical connections. Ensure the heater is grounded properly to prevent electrical hazards.
• Regular Inspections: Check for leaks, cracks, or damage before each use. Inspect hoses, fittings, and the fuel tank for integrity.
• Clearance: Maintain proper clearance around the heater as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent overheating and fire hazards.

Recommended Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Protective Clothing: Wear fire-resistant clothing to protect against potential sparks or flames.
• Gloves and Eye Protection: Use insulated gloves and safety goggles to protect against fuel spills and splashes.
• Respiratory Protection: If working in confined or poorly ventilated areas, use a respirator to avoid inhaling exhaust fumes.

Mitigating Risks and Handling Emergencies

• Fire Safety: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. Install smoke detectors in the area where the heater is used.
• Carbon Monoxide Detection: Use carbon monoxide detectors to monitor indoor air quality. Ventilate the area properly if high levels are detected.
