safety WARNING • FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. KEEP SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THESE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER USE THE HEATER IN SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNERS, DUST PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS. WARNING • NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL USE. WARNING • Do not operate this heater until you have read, and thoroughly understand these safety and operating instructions. WARNING • This heater is NOT suitable for use with Bio-Diesel; use of Bio-Diesel will damage he filter and seals. Any damage caused by using Bio- Diesel will not be covered by warranty WARNING Risk of indoor air pollution • Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every 100,000 BTU/hr of heater rating. • 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. Simply locate fan in safe, desired position on level ground, and connect to approved power source. • 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.

safety DANGER Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to death! • Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation according to this manual can result in death. 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 • 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 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) 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. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in more periodic maintenance. WARNING Risk of Electric Shock! • ...

safety WARNING Risk of Burns/Fire/Explosion! • NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners, or other oil compounds in this heater (RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION). • NEVER refill the heater’s fuel tank while heater is operating or still hot. This heater is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation. • Keep all combustible materials away from this heater. • NEVER block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front) of heater. • NEVER use duct work in front or at rear of heater. • NEVER move or handle heater while still hot. • NEVER transport heater with fuel in its tank. • If equipped with a thermostat, the heater may start at any time. • ALWAYS locate heater on a stable and level surface. • ALWAYS keep children and animals away from heater. • Bulk fuel storage should be a minimum of 25 ft. from heaters, torches, portable generators, or other sources of ignition. All fuel storage should be in accordance with federal, state, or local authorities having jurisdiction. • Never use this heater in living or sleeping areas. • NEVER use this heater where flammable vapors may be present. Minimum clearance from Combustibles: 70k 125k ...

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 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) 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. Using diesel fuel can cause excess soot production. DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above. NOTICE Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is as- sociated 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 air pump that operates off of the electric motor. The pump forces air through the air line connected to the fuel tank, drawing fuel to the nozzle in the burner head. Air also ...
operation Air System: A fan is turned by the heavy duty motor, which forces air around and into the combustion chamber, where it is super-heated and forced out the front of the chamber. Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should the internal tempera- ture 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. NEVER LEAVE HEATER Electrical System protection: The heaters’ electrical system is protected UNATTENDED WHILE BURN- by a circuit breaker that protects the system components from damage. If ING OR WHILE CONNECTED the heater fails, check the fuse first, and replace if necessary. TO A POWER SOURCE Flame Sensor: The heater uses a photocell to “see” the flame in the Operation combustion chamber. Should the flame extinguish, the sensor will stop electrical current and the heater will shut off. ggested ined to can cause a wever, #1 or ne is not...
operation WARNING • Never refuel this heater while it is hot or operating. Fire or explosion could result. VENTILATION Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater only in well ventilated areas. Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,000 BTU/hr. of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being used. STARING THE HEATER 1. Fill the tank with kerosene until fuel gauge points to “F”. 2. Be sure fuel cap is secure. 3. Plug power cord into three prong, grounded extension cord and plug extension cord into three prong 120V grounded outlet. The extension cord should be at least six feet long. Extension cord wire size requirements are as follows: • 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters), use 18 AWG wire. • 11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.4 meters), use 16 AWG wire. • 101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters), use 14 AWG wire. 4. Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature setting (70/125/175 only). The setting range is from 40° F to 110° F. Push the Power switch to the “ON” position (See figure 9). The power indi- cator lamp and room temperature display (125/175 only) will light and the heater will start. NOTICE The room temperature display (125/175 only) will indicate the following.
