PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

STORING, TRANSPORTING,
OR SHIPPING
Note: If shipping, transport companies require fuel tanks to be
empty.
1. Drain fuel tank.
Note: Some models have drain plug on underside of fuel tank.
If so, remove drain plug to drain all fuel. If heater does not
have drain plug, drain fuel through fuel cap opening. Be sure
all fuel is removed.
2. Replace drain plug if provided.
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.
