Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion efficiency, it
still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide.
•Carbon Monoxide (CO) is toxic.
•Pregnant women, persons with a heart or lung condition, anaemia or
under the influence of alcohol, or those at high altitude, are more likely to
be effected by Carbon Monoxide.
•CO can build up in a confined space and failure to provide adequate
ventilation can be fatal.
The early symptoms of asphyxiation caused by inadequate ventilation are:
•headache•nausea
•dizziness•dry mouth or sore throat
Should anyone show these symptoms, they must GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
Turn off the heater and have it serviced before using again.
Be sure to follow all warnings in this manual.

DAILY CHECKS
1. Make a general visual inspection of the heater for loose or damaged parts.
2. Damaged parts should be repaired or replaced before using the heater again.
3. Check heater operation to be sure it is operating normally as follows:
•The flame is contained within the heater.
•The flame is essentially yellow.
•There is no disagreeable odour, eye burning or other physical discomfort.
•There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
GENERAL
•Regularly wipe the cover using a soft sponge or cloth. For very dirty parts,
use a sponge wetted with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, then dry
using a clean cloth.
•Keep air inlet and fan free from dust and dirt. To clean inner parts, gently
blow compressed air through air inlet. (Wear eye protection if using
compressed air).
•Regularly inspect the power cable. If worn, cracked or damaged have it
replaced by technical service.
•When cleaning, make sure that water does not enter the unit.
•DO NOT open the enclosure to clean the inner parts.
•Never use solvents, gasoline, toluene and similar aggressive chemicals to
clean the heater.
•Clean twice a season. Drain and flush the fuel tank with clean fuel.
NOTE: The following checks BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY are recommended
before every seasonal use:
NOTE: DO NOT attempt any electrical repair yourself. If the heater needs service or
repair, contact a qualified technician or CLARKE service department.
Clean fuel filters by
unscrewing the filter tray
anticlockwise.
Remove the filter cartridge
and wash it with petrol or
replace it if necessary.
Check the seal O-ring and
replace it if necessary.
Reassemble the sump.
The fuel filter installed on
the gear pump should be
cleaned or replaced if
necessary by unscrewing
cap H.
EXTRACT THE BURNER HEAD
BURNER BLADES
Clean the burner blades by using a brush
and then blowing compressed air onto
them. (Wear eye protection if using
compressed air). To get good
combustion, the air flow openings in the
whirl disc should be perfectly clear.
NOZZLE
Carefully unscrew the nozzle from the
nozzle fitting. Blow compressed air
through the nozzle orifice to free it from
dirt. (Wear eye protection if using
compressed air)
Replace the nozzle if necessary.
IGNITION ELECTRODES
Clean, adjust and if necessary replace the ignition electrode.
ELECTRICAL INSPECTION
Inspect cables, electrical parts and connections.
STORAGE
1. Drain any residual fuel / condensate from the fuel tank.
2. Before storing the heater, make sure it is perfectly cool and dry. Cover the unit
