AIR BLEED DIRECTIONS
If your heater fails to ignite, having air trapped in the fuel pump
may be the cause. Air in the fuel pump will cause ignition failure
and is often accompanied by a loud "grinding" or vibrating sound
being made by the fuel pump. This heater is designed to easily
remove any air in the fuel pump by simply following the Air
Bleeding Procedure below:
1. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.Turn the Air Vent
Screw 3 full turns counterclockwise from the factory closed /
fully clockwise position. (This will allow air to escape during
operation). See Figure 14.
2 Start the ignition sequence by following the standard ignition
procedures outlined on page 6.
