W ARNINGS
IMPORTANT: Read this Owner’s Manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper
use of this heater can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire,
explosion, electrical shock, electrocution, and carbon monoxide
poisoning.
DANGER
Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs,
the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater
serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

WARNINGS
Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for
reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
• 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.
• 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 (762 cm) 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 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 (2800 square cm)
of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr of rating.
• 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 (earthed) extension cord.
• 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 (304.8 cm). 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. (250 cm) Top, Rear, and Sides: 4 Ft. (125 cm)
• Locate heater on a stable and level surface while hot or running or a fire may
occur.
• When heater is moved or stored, it must be in a level position or fuel spillage may
occur.
• Keep children and animals away from heater.
• Unplug heater when not in use.
• This heater has a built-in thermostat. Plugged-in heater may start at 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 plugged in heater.
• Never attach duct work to front or rear of heater.

1. Remove all protective packing applied to heater for shipment.
2. Remove heater from shipping container.
3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform
dealer where you bought heater.
ASSEMBLY
This model is furnished with wheels and front and rear handles. Wheels, handles,
and mounting hardware are found in the shipping carton.
TOOLS NEEDED
• Pliers
• Two - 7/16" Open or Adjustable Wrenches
1. Slide axle through wheel support frame. Install wheel spacer and then one flat
washer on each end of axle.
2. Install wheels on axle.
IMPORTANT:
When installing wheels, point exetended hub of wheels toward
wheel support frame (see Figure 2, page 5).
3. Slide one flat washer on each axle end in front of wheel.
4. Install cotter pins through holes at each end of axle. Bend cotter pins with pliers
to secure.
5. Place heater on wheel support frame. Make sure air inlet end (rear) of heater is
over wheels. Line up holes on fuel tank flange with holes on wheel support
frame.
6. Place front and rear handles on top of fuel tank flange. Insert screws through
handles, fuel tank flange, and wheel support frame. Attach nut finger tight after
inserting each screw.
7. After inserting all screws, tighten nuts firmly.

THEORY OF
OPERATION
The Fuel System: The motor turns the fuel pump. The fuel pump pulls fuel from
the fuel tank. The fuel pump pushes fuel through a filter and a solenoid valve and out
the burner head nozzle. 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. It also allows the fan to continue running after normal shutdown
of heater. This cools the combustion chamber.

FUELS
WARNING
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
VENTILATION
IMPORTANT:
container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause flame-out
control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require fuel system to be
cleaned frequently.
Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage container. Be sure storage
W ARNING
Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation requirements.
If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon
monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air
ventilation before running heater.
Fresh Air Opening Requirements
Square Square
Heater Size Feet Opening Centimeter Opening
340,000 Btu/Hr 10.5 9755
Note:
If you use more than one heater, provide extra fresh air. Provide a fresh air
opening of at least three square feet (2800 square cm) for each 100,000 Btu/Hr
rating.

higher than surrounding air temperature.
5. Plug power cord of heater into a standard 220/240 volt, 50 hertz, grounded
(earthed) outlet. Use an extension cord if needed. Use only a three-wire,
grounded (earthed) extension cord.
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements

201 to 300 feet (61.1 to 91.5 meters) long, use 12 AWG (2 mm2) conductor
6. The motor will start when power cord is plugged into outlet. The heater should
ignite at once. If heater does not ignite, restart heater. To restart heater, wait
60 seconds, then push in flame-out control reset button. Flame-out control
reset button is at rear of heater near power cord (see Figure 4).
Thermostat setting must be
Note:
If starting heater for first time, you may need to restart heater several times
before heater ignites. You may also have to do this after taking heater out of
storage.
