OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Review and understand the warnings
in the Safety Information section, page 2. They are
needed to safely operate this heater. Follow all local
ordinances and codes when using this heater.
TO START HEATER
1.
Follow all ventilation and safety information.
2.
Locate heater to provide maximum circulation of the heated
air. Follow all location requirements noted in Safety Informa-
tion, page 2.
3.
Fill fuel tank with fuel. Use only kerosene, #1/#2 diesel/fuel
oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels to avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never
use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol, or other flam-
mable fuels.
4.
Attach fuel cap/gauge.
5.
Plug heater's power cord into approved, grounded, three-wire
extension cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet (1.8
meters) long.
Extension Cord Size Requirement
6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) long, use 18 AWG (0.75 mm
rated cord
11 to 100 feet (3.3 to 30.5 meters) long, use 16 AWG (1.0 mm
rated cord
101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use 14 AWG (1.5 mm
rated cord
6.
Plug extension cord into standard 120 volt/60 hertz, 3-prong
grounded outlet.
7.
Turn thermostat knob to the right (clockwise) to the warmest
position.
8.
Push ON/OFF switch to the ON (|) position. Light will come on.
Note: Ignitor will preheat for five seconds, then heater will start.
9.
After heater is running, adjust thermostat knob to the desired
setting. Note: A cold heater may affect the thermostat setting.
This thermostat is a general-heating control. It is not intended
for precise temperature control. Adjust thermostat until heater
cycles at the desired setting.

OPERATION WITH PORTABLE GENERATOR
STORING, TRANSPORTING, OR SHIPPING
OPERATION WITH PORTABLE
GENERATOR
WARNING: Before operating heater or any appli-
ance from a portable generator, verify that generator
has been properly connected to earth ground. Im-
proper grounding or failure to ground generator can
result in electrocution if a ground fault occurs. Refer
to owner's manual supplied by generator manufac-
turer for proper grounding procedures.
The operating voltage range of the heater is 108 to 132 Volts (120
Volts +/- 10%). Prior to plugging heater into generator the output
voltage should be verified (if generator is equipped with the automatic
idle feature, the output voltage should be measured with the generator
running at full speed). If the voltage does not measure in this range the
heater should not be plugged into the generator.
Refer to Operation for starting, stopping, and resetting heater
procedures.

STORING, TRANSPORTING,
OR SHIPPING
Note: If shipping, transport companies require fuel tanks to be empty.
1. Remove drain plug from bottom side of fuel tank and drain
all fuel.
2.
Replace drain plug.
3.
If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 quarts of clean
kerosene to tank, stir, and drain again. This will prevent ex-
cess debris from clogging filters during future use.
4. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local auto-
motive service stations that recycle oil.
5.
If storing, store heater in dry place. Make sure storage place is
free of dust and corrosive fumes.
IMPORTANT: Do not store kerosene over summer months for use
during next heating season. Using old fuel could damage heater.
