® MAXI-HEAT SETUP PROCEDURE The Frost Fighter heater units need to be set up for each operation and tuned to operate efficiently depending on the altitude of intended use. As you go up in elevation, the air gets thinner. As the air gets thinner the ability to burn or consume a certain amount of fuel is diminished. When you move the machine to a different elevation you may need to change the nozzle size and air settings to get a clean efficient burn. The nozzle size is determined by the number of gallons per hour number (GPH). A number is stamped on the nozzle indicating the amount of fuel that the nozzle will deliver to the burning chamber.
® MAXI-HEAT SETUP PROCEDURE 6. Check igniter tips for correct location for the unit you are setting up. Adjust if necessary. (see owners manual) For the IDF 500: · 5/32 apart · ¼” above center of nozzle · 1/8” in front of nozzle 7. Re-install the fuel rail, hook up fuel lines etc. 8. Restart the heater and check the flue gas for smoke using the True-Spot Smoke Tester. 9.

Installation Instructions for Installing the Slip-Lock Duct Connectors (PN #848974) Heater Section – Inner Ring 1. Line up the receiver section (ring with slots) inside the heater flange and slide it in to where the small rounded ridge (approximate center of connector ring) is just inside the outer edge of the heater flange. This leaves 11/16” of this inner ring exposed and will allow the compartment door to close freely. Note: Make sure that this alignment remains constant all the way around the outer edge of the flange. 2. Mark the locations of the (3) 3/16” holes and remove the receiver section from the heater flange. Using a center punch, make a dimple in the center of each mark and drill each hole out using a 3/16” drill bit. 3. Re-install the receiver section into the heater flange and connect it (large head inside heater flange) using a pop-rivet gun and (3) 3/16” pop-rivets.
