#2 diesel/fuel oil heavier than 1-K
kerosene in extreme cold temperatures
without nontoxic anti-icer additives
will not ignite properly.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored
in a blue container that is clearly
mark ed "kerosene". Never store kero -
sene in a red container. Red is associ -
ated 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.
diesel/fuel oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels are
suitable substitutes.

OVERVIEW OF HEATER DESIGN

Fuel System: This heater is equipped
with an electric air pump that forces air
through the air line connected to the
fuel intake, and then through a nozzle
in the burner head. When air passes in
front of the fuel intake, it causes fuel to
rise from the tank and into the burner
nozzle.
This fuel and air mixture is then sprayed
into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.

SureFire Ignition: The electronic ignitor
sends voltage to a specially designed
spark plug. The spark plug ignites the
fuel and air mixture described above.
The Air System: The heavy duty motor
turns a fan that forces air into and
around the combustion chamber. Here,
the air is heated and then forced out
the front of the heater.
THE SAFETY SYSTEM
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 mounted to the PCB Assembly
that protects it and other electrical

components from damage. If your
heater fails to operate, check this fuse
first and replace as needed. Refer to
Specification chart on page 1.
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

OUTDOORS. This allows the oils, etc.,
used in manufacturing heater to be
burned off outside.
