Page 10: Operating Precautions
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS This is a oil/kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It’s intended use is primarily temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. CO can build up in a heated space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in death. The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are: • headache • dizziness • burning eyes and nose • nausea • dry mouth or sore throat Be sure to follow advice about ventilation in the Safety Precautions section. Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air through the heater. Proper combustion depends upon this air flow; therefore, the heater must not be revised, modified or operated with parts removed or missing. Likewise, safety systems must not be circumvented or modified in order to operate the heater. When the heater is to be operated in the presence of other people the user is responsible for properly acquainting those present with the safety precautions and instructions, and of the hazards involved. -

Page 14: Operation
Operation 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. NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated 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 passes through the nozzle where it mixes with the fuel and is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist. -
Page 15: Fueling The Heating
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: The heaters’ electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker that protects the system components from damage. If the heater fails, check the fuse first, and replace if necessary. Flame Sensor: The heater uses a photocell to “see” the flame in the combustion chamber. Should the flame extinguish, the sensor will stop electrical current and the heater will shut off. FUELING THE HEATER CAUTION • Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Always fill the tank outdoors. be sure that the heater is on level ground when fueling, and never overfill the fuel tank. WARNING • Never refuel this heater while it is hot or operating. fire or explosion could result. It is always a good idea to fire the heater outdoors for the fist time. This will allow any oils used in the manufacturing process to be burned off in a safe environment. This initial burn should last at least 10 minutes. -
Page 16: Ventilation
VENTILATION Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater only in well ventilated areas. STARTING 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 prong, grounded extension cord and plug extension cord into prong 120V grounded outlet. 4. Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature setting. The set- ting range is from 40ºF to 110ºF. Push the Power switch to the “ON” position.The power indicator lamp and room temperature display will light and the heater will start. NOTICE • If the heater does not fire, the thermostat may be set too low. Turn the Control Knob to a higher setting until heater fires. If the heater still does not start, push Power Switch to “OFF”, then back to “ON”. If heater still does not fire, see Troubleshooting Guide. • The electrical components of this heater are protected by a fuse mounted in the PC board. If the heater fails to fire, check this fuse first, and replace if necessary. Also check the power source to be sure that the proper voltage is being provided to the heater. STOPPING THE HEATER Simply turn the Power switch to “OFF” position and unplug the Power Cord. -
Page 17: Restarting The Heater
RESTARTING THE HEATER 1. Wait ten seconds after shutting off heater. 2. Turn the Power Switch to “ON” position. 3. Be sure to follow all starting procedure precautions. LONG TERM STORAGE Drain Fuel Tank Drain fuel through the fuel cap opening using an approved siphon. IMPORTANT: Never store leftover kerosene over the summer. Using old fuel can damage your heater.

The use of alternate or third party components can cause unsafe operating conditions, and will void your warranty. We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows: FUEL TANK Flush every 200 hours of operation or as needed. Do not use water to flush the tank. Use fresh 1-K kerosene only. AIR FILTERS The Air Intake Filter should be replaced or washed with soap and water and dried thoroughly every 500 hours of operation, or less, depending on conditions. The Output and Lint Filters should be replaced every 500 hours of opera- tion or less, depending on conditions. NOTE: Use of diesel may require additional maintenance. -
Page 19: Fan Blades
FAN BLADES Blades should be cleaned at least once per heating season, depending on conditions. Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a damp cloth, taking care not to bend any of the fan blades. Be sure fan blades are restarting the heater. NOZZLES Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least once per heating season. Contaminated fuel could make this necessary immediately. To clean dirt from nozzle, blow compressed air through nozzle front. It may be neces- sary to soak nozzle in clean 1-K kerosene to help loosen any particles. NOTE: Use of diesel may require additional maintenance. Using this heater without proper maintenance or with contaminated or old fuel may lead to improper combustion and possible soot production. IGNITION ELECTRODE Clean and re-gap every 600 hours of operation, or replace as needed. After removing the Spark Plug, clean the terminals with a wire brush. Re- gap the terminals to 3.5mm. -
Page 20: Photocell
PHOTOCELL The Photocell should be cleaned at least once per heating season or more depending on conditions. Use a cotton swap dipped in water or alcohol to clean the lens of the Photocell. Note the proper Photocell position as noted. FUEL FILTER The Fuel Filter should be cleaned at least twice per heating season by rinsing it in clean 1-K kerosene. Contaminated fuel could make this necessary immediately. Use of diesel may require additional maintenance. Improper maintenance can lead to poor combustion and soot production. -
Page 21: Pump Pressure Adjustment
maintenance PUMP PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT While heater is operating, turn relief valve clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. Use flat blade screwdriver to turn valve.
