- Page 9 safety WARNING Serious injury or death could occur from failure to provide proper ventilation according to this manual. • This is a kerosene, indirect-fired, forced air heater. It is primarily intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under construction,alteration or repair. • Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of improper ventilation are: * headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes * nausea * dry mouth * sore throat. • When an indirect-fired heater connected to a flue pipe is used in a closed room, provide a minimum opening area of 1 square foot per US gallon capacity at the unit level. • When an indirect-fired heater not connected to a flue pipe - is used in a closed room, provide a minimum opening area of 3 square feet per US gallon capacity at the unit level and a continuous, natural air circulation through windows and doors. • People with breathing problems should consult a physician before using the heater. • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your heater may not be working properly. • Get fresh air at once! Have the heater serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems,anemia, or those under the influence of alcohol, or at high altitudes. • Never use this heater in living or sleeping areas.

Page 14: Operation
operation Operation KEROSENE (1-K) For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that #1-K kerosene be used. #1-K kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1, #2 (fuel oil), JP-8 or Jet A fuel oil may also be used if #1-K kerosene is not available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as #1-K kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated space. NOTICE Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated with gasoline. • NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area. • NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil compounds in this heater (THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION). • NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. • NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time. OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER. • Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a suitable substitute. THEORy OF OPERATION Fuel System: This heater is equipped with an electric magnet pump that forces fuel through the fuel line connected to the fuel intake, and then through a nozzle in the burner head. This fuel is then sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist. “Sure Fire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially ... -
Page 15: Fueling Your Heater
assembly Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device activates and turns your heater off, it may require service. Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will be able to start your heater. Electrical System Protection: This heater’s electrical system is protected by a fuse that protects it and other electrical components from damage. Fuse is located inside of an in-line “FUSE BARREL”. If your heater fails to operate, check this fuse first and replace as needed. Refer to Specification Chart in this manual. Flame-out sensor: Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal operation. It will cause the heater to shut off should the burner flame extinguish. FUElING yOUR HEATER Never fill the heater fuel tank in the living space, fill the tank outdoors. Do not overfill your heater and be sure heater is leveled. WARNING • NEVER REFILL FUEL TANK WHEN HEATER IS OPERATING OR STILL HOT. NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER. The first time you light the heater, it should be done OUTDOORS. This allows the oils, etc. used in manufacturing the heater to burn off outside. ClEARANCES Minimum clearances to outlet is 8 feet. Top, rear and sides minimum of 4 ... -

Page 17: Stopping The Heater
operation NOTICE • The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a circuit breaker (fuse) mounted to the power switch. If your heater fails to start, check this first and replace as necessary. You should also check your power source to insure that proper voltage and frequency are being supplied to the heater. • When using diesel fuel in cold ambient temperatures (below 35° F) fuel additives will be required to prevent the diesel fuel from “jelling”. Follow the mixing instructions provided by the diesel additive supplier for the correct additive/fuel ratio. STOPPING THE HEATER WARNING • NEVER DISCONNECT THE SUPPLY PLUG TO STOP THE HEATER WHILE IN OPERATION. Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is complete. 1. Push “OPERATION BUTTON”, This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during The cooling cycle. This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle (approx. 2 minutes) is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug heater until cooling cycle is finished. 2. Disconnect heater from power source. 3. To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature lower than air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air temperature around heater is lower than thermostat setting. RESTARTING THE HEATER CAUTION • DO NOT RESTART HEATER UNTIL COOLING CYCLE IS FINISHED. The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber. 1. Wait until cooling cycle is finished after stopping heater. 2. Repeat steps under TO START HEATER. -
