WARNING!
Do Not Use Unauthorized Fuels
Gasoline, JP-4, Used Motor Oil, Solvents or other unauthorized fuels should NOT be used
with the SHS under any circumstance. Only approved liquid fuels may be used. Using
unauthorized fuels in the SHS will create a fire danger and potential for explosion.
WARNING!
Hot Surfaces
Do not attempt to handle or perform services on a heater that has recently been in operation.
Let the heater cool down before performing these procedures to avoid the possibility of
serious burns.
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide
During operation, the SHS produces harmful carbon monoxide (CO) and other gases.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. Mild cases of carbon monoxide
poisoning can cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or headaches. Severe cases of
carbon monoxide poisoning can result in brain damage, heart damage or death. Remember
that although CO has no telltale odor, it may mix with other odors which mask its presence;
therefore, CO can be present within a mix of seemingly harmless odors.
To prevent CO poisoning, ensure that the SHS exhaust stack sections fit together snugly and
that the exhaust gases are properly vented through the roof of the shelter.
The best way to prevent CO poisoning is to keep the SHS in good working order. Ensure that
all possible sources of CO leakage have been repaired and that the operating space is well
ventilated.
WARNING!
Cut Hazard
Some metal components of SHS may have sharp edges. Be careful when handling and
assembling the SHS to prevent cuts.
