forced air heaters are primarily intended for
use for temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair. Direct-red

ALWAYS use only approved, grounded socket and
properly rated extension cables.
ALWAYS unplug the heater when not in use.
ALWAYS install the heater so that it is not directly
exposed to water spray, rain, dripping water, or wind.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assemble available
from the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a
hazard
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.

strongly suggested that parafn be used.
Parafn 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.

We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:
FUEL / FUEL TANK:
TIP: Follow the long term storage
instructions to ush the tank.
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed.
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 7.
Siroco Fan
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 9.

FUEL FILTER:
The fuel filter should be cleaned at least twice
per heating season. Clean the filter by rinsing it
in clean Paraffin. Contaminated fuel could make
cleaning the fuel filter necessary immediately.
NOTE: To remove the filter from models turn
filter 90º counter-clockwise. See Figure 8.

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 10.
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 the nozzle in
paraffin to loosen any dirt particles.
