SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

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, 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, and/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, persons with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

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 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.

• 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.

• Use only in well vented areas. Before using heater, provide at least a threesquare-foot opening 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.

• 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 at anytime.

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:

storage 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. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system often.

OWNER’S MANUAL

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.
