FUELS CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE FIRE AND
CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.

i\CAUTION
1. Make sure that there is no fuel leakage from fuel tank and fuel pipe joint.
2. Make sure that flue pipe (exhaust pipe, air supply hose) is connected
properly.
3. Keep heater clean and do not store any flammable items on or near the
heater.
5. Should anything abnormal occur in the heater, remain calm, turn it off (do
not unplug) and contact your Monitor dealer.
6. Risk of burns.
Flue pipe and louver may have high surface
temperature.
7. Do not place yourself or others too close to the heater.
10. In areas of heavy snow accumulation, flue pipe may need to be installed higher to avoid being buried.
In open areas with strong wind, a wind break may be necessary to avoid exhaust gases being blown
back into the intake and causing poor combustion.

ACCESSORIES YOU MAY NEED
Check the list below and see your MPI dealer for accessories you may need or want for installation of your heating
system.
ACCESSORY APPLICATION
Medium Flue Pipe P/N 8206 For use where wall thickness is up to inches
Long Flue Pipe P/N 8005 For use where wall thickness is up to 20 inches
Electric Suction Pump P/N 1101 For use with large capacity tank where gravity feed is not
practical
Window Installation Kit P/N 8208, 8209, 8001 For use where "through-the window" flue pipe installation
(See Window Installation below) is desired
Extra Short, Short, Medium or For use where "standard" installation is not practical
Long Extension Kit or Elbow Adapter Kit
(See Flue Pipe Extensions, page 8)

WINDOW INSTALLATION
The use of "through-the-window" installation for your
flue pipe will require a window installation kit and one
of the 4 (extra short, short, medium or long) extension
kits.
In order to determine which extension kit is required,
measure the distance from the floor to the TOP of
your window sill (see Figure 2) and refer to the chart
below.
