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
POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH!
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.
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.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE
PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary
heating of adequately ventilated buildings or
structures 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 (29 kW) heater rating. Refer to
“Ventilation” on page 6 for further instructions.
Your serial number can be found on a blue label on the left side cover. For Example: S160901126.
Have your Serial Number ready before calling customer service at 800-779-3267.
5. Attach top safety guard using the two

OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE
Operation: 70-SS / 125-OFR
Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene
For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that Kerosene be used.
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 K-1 kerosene, no. 1 & no.
2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel, no. 1 and no. 2 fuel oil.
NEVER REFUEL
THIS HEATER
WHILE IT IS HOT
OR OPERATING. FIRE OR EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT.
NEVER FILL
THE FUEL TANK
INDOORS.
ALWAYS FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS.
BE SURE THAT THE HEATER IS ON
LEVEL GROUND WHEN FUELING, AND
NEVER OVERFILL THE TANK.
DO NOT USE
GASOLINE OR
CRANKCASE
DRAININGS.
- NEVER use Kerosene that has been stored from
one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates
over time. OLD Kerosene WILL NOT BURN
PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
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.
Ventilation:
CARBON
MONOXIDE
POISONING MAY
LEAD TO DEATH!
- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning. Use heater only in well
ventilated areas.
- Refer to Safety Information on pages 1-2 for
information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
- ALWAYS provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least 2,800 square centimeters
(3 sq. ft) for each 100,00 Btu / Hr. of heater output.
Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being
used.
Minimum Ventilation Opening Needed
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white
glass, camp stove fuel, farm diesel, 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.
(grounded) power source. You must use a
three prong (grounded) extension cord that is
at least 1.8 meters long and is a minimum of
14 AWG rating.
NOTE: On first ignition or after refueling,
you may hear a grinding sound just before
ignition. This is the fuel pump removing the
air from the fuel line. Your heater will start up
within seconds. If it does not start repeat
start-up procedures with fuel gauge reading at
least 1/2 tank.
NOTE: Smoking may occur on first ignition.
NOTE: The electrical components of these
heaters are protected by a fuse mounted
in the PC board. If the heater fails to ignite,
check this fuse first and replace if necessary.
Also check the power source to be sure the
proper voltage is being provided to the heater.
1. Complete steps 1-3 above.
2. Push the power switch to the “ON” position.
The power indicator lamp will light and heater
will ignite (see Figure 10).
Stopping the Heater: (Cool Down)
1. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.
Combustion will stop and the Cooling Cycle
will begin.
- 70-SS: approx. 5 mins
- 125-OFR: approx 3 mins
When the Cooling Cycle is complete the fan
will stop running and it will be safe to unplug
the heater.
NOTE: Unplugging the heater before the
Cooling Cycle has been completed may cause
overheating, possible damage to the heater and
heat plate.
DO NOT disconnect
heater from power
source before
cooling cycle has been completed.
Restarting the Heater:
1. Wait ten seconds after Cooling Cycle has
been completed.
2. Follow all start-up procedures above.
Electrical Outlet (70-SS Only):
-Never plug an appliance with more than a 5
amp rating into this outlet (see Figure 11).
2. Using an approved siphon, remove the
Kerosene or diesel.
3. Using a small amount of Kerosene or diesel,
rinse and swirl the fuel inside the fuel tank
NOTE: NEVER MIX WATER WITH FUEL. It will
cause rust inside the tank.
4. Empty the tank completely.
IMPORTANT: Never store leftover Kerosene
between seasons, using old fuel can
damage heater.
Store Heater in a dry, well ventilated area.
-Be sure that the storage area is free of dust
and corrosive vapors. Repack the heater
in the original packaging and keep user’s
manual in an easily accessible place.
Never service
heater while it is
plugged in or hot!
Service:
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE AN
EXPERIENCED SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS.
We suggest following a maintenance schedule as
follows:
TIP: Follow the long term storage
instructions to ush the tank.
FUEL / FUEL TANK:
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as
needed. DO NOT ush with water, use fresh
Kerosene only.
SPARK PLUG:
Clean and re-gap every 600 hours of operation
or replace as needed. After removing the Spark
Plug, clean the terminals with a wire brush.
Re-gap the terminals to 0.140” (3.5mm)
(see Figure 12).
Figure 12
FAN BLADES:
The fan blades should be cleaned at least once
per heating season, depending on conditions.
Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a
burst of condensed air (see Figure 13).
Figure 13
70-SS70-SS / 125-OFR
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS:
Proper pressure is dependent on the fuel type the
unit will be running. When smoking or non-ignition
occurs, remove the lower panel. Locate the brass
screw on the fuel pump to the left of the fuel line.
The ideal pressure is 112 psi (7.9 kg/cm2).
If you are experiencing smoking or fuel
dripping from the unit, turn the screw clockwise
1/8 to 1/4 of a turn to increase the fuel pressure
until the unit is operating properly.
If you are experiencing extended flames
from the front of the unit, turn the screw 1/8 to
1/4 of a turn counterclockwise to reduce the air
pressure until the unit is operating properly.
Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least
once per heating season. Contaminated fuel
could make this necessary immediately. To clean
dirt from nozzle, blow compressed air through
nozzle front. It may be necessary to soak nozzle
in clean Kerosene or diesel to help loosen any
particles (see Figure 14a and 14b).
70-SS Nozzle
PHOTOCELL:
The photocell should be cleaned at least once
per heating season or more depending on
conditions. Use a cotton swab and water or
alcohol to clean the lens of the photocell.
Be certain to reinstall the photocell in proper
position as shown below (see Figure 15).

FILTERS:
The fuel filter and oil filter should be cleaned at
least twice per heating season by rinsing it in
clean Kerosene or diesel. Contaminated or old
fuel could make cleaning necessary immediately.
