All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com SECTION 2 The flue and flue connections Do not connect this unit to a flue servicing another appliance. It is of utmost importance that the flue be dedicated to the Arctic as the flue is, without a doubt, the most important component of the system. Good com- bustion is dependent upon the correct amount of air being supplied to the burner at all times, which is dependent upon a correct negative flue pressure.
Fuel tank installation and fuel line connections OIL: Your Kuma Arctic comes with a carburetor set for an average of a 2.35 cc. viscosity rat- ing. You should be able to burn either #1 or #2 fuel with adjustments to the carburetor. A spe- cial high viscosity carburetor is available for burning bio-diesel if desired.
