• Never use heater where petrol, 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 a three-square foot (2800
square cm) opening 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.
• Minimum heater clearances from combustibles:
Outlet: 8 Ft. (250 cm) Sides, Top, and Rear: 4 Ft. (125 cm)
• 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.

BTU/Hr Models Only)
These models are furnished with wheels and handles. Wheels, handles, and the
mounting hardware are found in the shipping carton.
Tools Needed
• Medium Phillips Screwdriver
• 3/8" Open or Adjustable Wrench
• Hammer
1. Slide axle through wheel support frame. Install wheels on axle.

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 (Optional Extra): This system causes the
heater to shut down if the flame goes out.

FUELS
Do not use heavy fuels such as diesel. Using heavy fuels will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle
• carbon build up on spark plug
• use of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT:
container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the flameout control to shut down heater (optional extra). Foreign matter may also require
you to clean fuel system often.
