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 operating properly, or the areas
may not be sufficiently ventilated. 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.

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

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 ignition control assembly provides
power to the ignitor. This ignites the
fuel/air mixture in the combustion
chamber.
THE FLAME-OUT CONTROL SYSTEM
This system causes the heater to shut
down if the flame goes out.

Fuels
Use only Kerosene
or No. 1 fuel oil to
avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never
use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners,
alcohol, or other highly flammable
fuels.
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.

LIMITED WARRANTY
DAYTON ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY. Portable Oil-Fired heaters, Models covered in this manual, are warranted by Dayton Electric
Mfg. Co. (Dayton) to the original user against defects in workmanship or materials under normal use for one year after date of purchase.
Any part which is determined to be defective in material or workmanship and returned to an authorized service location, as Dayton
designates, shipping costs prepaid, will be, as the exclusive remedy, repaired or replaced at Dayton’s option. For limited warranty claim
procedures, see PROMPT DISPOSITION below. This limited warranty gives purchasers specific legal rights which vary from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the extent allowable under applicable law, Dayton’s liability for consequential and incidental damages is
expressly disclaimed. Dayton’s liability in all events is limited to and shall not exceed the purchase price paid.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Dayton has made a diligent effort to provide product information and illustrate the products in this literature
accurately; however, such information and illustrations are for the sole purpose of identification, and do not express or imply a warranty
that the products are MERCHANTABLE, or FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, or that the products will necessarily conform to the illustrations or descriptions.
Except as provided below, no warranty or affirmation of fact, expressed or implied, other than as stated in the “LIMITED WARRANTY”
above is made or authorized by Dayton.
PRODUCT SUITABILITY. Many jurisdictions have codes and regulations governing sales, construction, installation, and/or use of products
for certain purposes, which may vary from those in neighboring areas. While Dayton attempts to assure that its products comply with
such codes, it cannot guarantee compliance, and cannot be responsible for how the product is installed or used. Before purchase and
use of a product, review the product applications, and all applicable national and local codes and regulations, and be sure that the
product, installation, and use will comply with them.
Certain aspects of disclaimers are not applicable to consumer products; e.g., (a) some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you; (b) also, some jurisdictions do not
allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, consequently the above limitation may not apply to you; and (c) by law, during
the period of this Limited Warranty, any implied warranties of implied merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose applicable to
consumer products purchased by consumers, may not be excluded or otherwise disclaimed.
PROMPT DISPOSITION. Dayton will make a good faith effort for prompt correction or other adjustment with respect to any product
which proves to be defective within limited warranty. For any product believed to be defective within limited warranty, first write or call
dealer from whom the product was purchased. Dealer will give additional directions. If unable to resolve satisfactorily, write to Dayton at
address below, giving dealer’s name, address, date, and number of dealer’s invoice, and describing the nature of the defect. Title and risk
of loss pass to buyer on delivery to common carrier. If product was damaged in transit to you, file claim with carrier.
