RISK OF INDOOR
AIR POLLUTION!
The products described in this manual are kerosene
direct-red, forced air heaters. Kerosene forced air
heaters are primarily intended for use for temporary
heating of buildings under construction, alteration or
repair. Direct-red means that all of the combustion
products of the heater enter the heated space. This
appliance is rated at 98% combustion efciency, but
does produce small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper

ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in
accordance with the instructions in this manual can
result in death.
People with breathing problems should consult a
physician before using this heater.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble
the u. Symptoms of improper ventilation / carbon
monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth Sore
Throat • Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include: pregnant women, those with heart or
lung problems, anemia or those under the influence of
alcohol or at high altitudes.
Not For Indoor Use. Indoor use permitted only
for the temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair!
Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq cm)
opening of outside air for every 100,000 Btu / Hr
heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on page 6 for
further instructions.

Operation
Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly
suggested that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has
been rened to virtually eliminate contaminants, such
as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during the
operation of the heater. Using diesel fuel can cause excess
soot production. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this fuel will
damage your heater’s seals and lter.
- CSA certified for use with 1-K kerosene,
no. 1 diesel, Jet A Fuel, and
no. 1 fuel oil.
DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white glass, camp
stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil compounds in this
heater. THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be
stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area.
- NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of
heat.
Spare Drain Plug (1)
- NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container
that is clearly marked “Kerosene.” Never store kerosene in a
red container. Red is associated with gasoline.

conditions and will void your warranty.
We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:
TIP: To order OEM parts call (800)-641-6996
FUEL / FUEL TANK:
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed.
DO NOT ush with water, use fresh 1-K kerosene only.
FAN BLADES:
Blades should be cleaned at least once per heating
season, depending on conditions. Remove all
accumulated dust and dirt with a damp cloth, taking
care not to bend any of the fan blades. Be sure the
blades are dry before re-starting the heater. For fan
assembly removal see Figure 6.

Service (Continued):
FUEL FILTER:
The fuel filter should be cleaned at least twice
per heating season. Clean the filter by rinsing
it in clean 1-K Kerosene. Contaminated fuel
could make cleaning the fuel filter necessary
immediately.
NOTE: To remove the filter from models turn
filter 90º counter-clockwise. See Figure 7.

PHOTOCELL:
The photocell should be cleaned using a cotton
swab dipped in alcohol or water at least once
per heating season, or more depending on
conditions. See Figure 9.
