ROOF VENTS
Do not use any type of non-vented heaters. The use of non-vented
heaters will cause the accumulation of carbon monoxide gas.
Carbon monoxide gas is not visible and it has no smell. If symptoms
of headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or irregular breathing occur,
move affected personnel to fresh air. Failure to comply with this
warning may result in personal injury or death.
All fuel-burning heaters consume oxygen. Adequate ventilation must
be maintained at all times. Keep roof vents clear of snow, ice, or debris.
Open doors, windows, flaps, hook and loop fastener wall closures
as needed to introduce sufficient fresh air to replace oxygen consumed
by heaters. If symptoms of headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea,
or irregular breathing occur, move affected personnel to fresh air.
Failure to comply with this warning may result in personal injury
or death.
Roof vent is made from foam and is always
open, no operation is required.
