General Safety Information
Make certain you read and understand
all warnings. Keep these instructions for
reference. They are your guide to safe
and proper operation of this heater.
Safety information appears throughout
these instructions. Pay close attention to
them. Below are definitions for the safety
information listed throughout this manual.
Under this heading,
installation, operating and maintenance procedures or
practices will be found that, if not
carefully followed, WILL result in IMMEDIATE serious personal injur y or death.
Under this head-
ing, installation,
operating, and maintenance procedures or practices will be found that, if
not carefully followed, COULD result in
severe personal injury or death.
Under this heading,
installation, operating, and maintenance procedures or
practices will be found that, if not carefully
followed, COULD result in minor personal
injury, product or property damage.
IMPORT ANT : Every possible circumstance
that might involve a hazard cannot be
anticipated. The warnings in this manual
and on tags or decals affixed to the unit
are therefore not all-inclusive. If a
procedure, work method, or operating
technique not specifically recommended
by Dayton is used, you must make sure it
is safe for you and others. You should
also ensure that equipment will not be
damaged or made unsafe by the operating or maintenance method you choose.
Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead
to death! Carbon monoxide poisoning:
Some people are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Early
signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have
these signs, the heater may not be
working properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have heater serviced.
Improper use of
this heater can
cause serious injury or death from
burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock,
and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Make certain you read and understand
all warnings. Keep these instructions
for reference. They are your guide to
safe and proper operation of this
heater.
• Use only kero-
sene or No. 1 fuel
oil to avoid risk of fire or explosion.
Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint
thinners, alcohol, or other highly
flammable fuels.
• Fueling
a) Personnel involved with fueling
shall be qualified and thoroughly
familiar with the manufacturer's
instructions and applicable federal,
state, and local regulations regarding the safe fueling of heating units.
b) Only the type of fuel specified on
the heater's data plate shall be used.
c) All flame, including the pilot
light, if any, shall be extinguished
and the heater allowed to cool, prior
to fueling.
d) During fueling, all fuel lines and
fuel-line connections shall be
inspected for leaks. Any leaks shall
be repaired prior to returning the
heater to service.
e) At no time shall more than one
day's supply of heater fuel be stored
inside a building in the vicinity of
the heater. Bulk fuel storage shall be
outside the structure.
f) All fuel storage shall be located a
minimum of 25 feet from heaters,
torches, welding equipment, and
similar sources of ignition (exception: the fuel reservoir integral with
the heater unit).
g) Whenever possible, fuel storage
shall be confined to areas where
floor penetrations do not permit fuel
to drip onto or be ignited by a fire at
lower elevation.
h) Fuel storage shall be in accordance with the federal, state, or
local authority having jurisdiction.
• Never use heater where gasoline,
paint thinner, or other highly
flammable vapors are present.
• Follow all local ordinances and codes
when using heater.
• Use only in well-vented areas. Provide
at least three square feet of fresh,
outside air for each 100,000 BTU/Hr of
rating. This heater produces carbon
monoxide, which is listed by the
State of California as a reproductive
toxin under Proposition 65.
• Use only in places free of flammable
vapors or high dust content.
• Use only with the electrical voltage
and frequency specified on model
plate.
• Use only a three-prong, grounded
extension cord.

General Safety Information
(Continued)
• Heaters used in the vicinity of
tarpaulins, canvas, or similar enclosure materials shall be located a safe
distance from such materials. The
recommended minimum safe distance is 10 feet. It is further recommended that these enclosure
materials be of a fire retardant
nature. These enclosure materials
shall be securely fastened to prevent
them from igniting or from upsetting
the heater due to wind action.
• Minimum heater clearances from
combustibles:
Outlet: 8 Ft. Sides: 4 Ft.
Top: 4 Ft. Rear: 4 Ft.
• Locate heater on a stable and level
surface while hot or running or a fire
may occur.
• When moving or storing heater, keep
heater in a level position or fuel
spillage may occur.
• Keep children and animals away
from heater.
• Unplug heater when not in use.
• When used with thermostat, heater
may start anytime.
• Never use heater in living or sleeping areas.
• Never block air inlet (rear) or air
outlet (front) of heater.
• Never move, handle, refuel, or
service a hot, operating, or pluggedin heater.
• Never attach duct work to front or
rear of heater.
THEORY OF OPERATION
THE FUEL SYSTEM: The air pump
forces air through the air line. The air
is then pushed through the burner
head nozzle. This air causes fuel to
lift from the tank. A fine mist of fuel
is sprayed into the combustion
chamber.
THE AIR SYSTEM: The motor turns the
fan. The fan pushes air into and
around the combustion chamber. This
air is heated and provides a stream of
clean, hot air.
THE IGNITION SYSTEM: The electronic
ignitor sends voltage to the spark
plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel
and air mixture.
THE FLAME-OUT CONTROL SYSTEM:
This system causes the heater to shut
down if the flame goes out.

or No. 1 fuel oil to
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2
fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy
fuels will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle
• carbon build-up on spark plug
• the need of non-toxic anti-icer in
fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONL Y
container. Be sure storage container is
clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or
water will cause the flame-out control to
shut down heater. For eign matter may also
require you to clean fuel system often.
