Safety Information
Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to
death!
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is
primarily intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired
means that all of the combustion products of the heater
enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98%
combustion efficiency, but does produce small amounts of
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans
can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation.
Failure to provide proper ventilation in according to this
manual can result in death. Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms of
improper ventilation are:
headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
*
If the heater is being used in the presence of others, be
sure to inform them of all proper safety precautions,
operating procedures and hazards. Some people aremore affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
are pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or
anemia, those under the influence of alcohol or at high
altitudes.
- Check the heater thoroughly for damage before each
use. DO NOT operate a damaged heater.
- DO NOT modify this heater or operate a heater that has
been modified from it’s original state.
- NEVER use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinner, alcohol or
other fuels of any kind to operate this heater.
- Suitable for outdoor use. Provide at least 3 square feet
of opening per 100,000 Btu of rated operation (See
page 6).
- Keep heater area free from combustible materials such
as gasoline, paint thinners and other flammable vapors
and liquids. Dust is combustible. Do not use heater in
areas of high dust concentration.

Theory of Operation
Fuel System: This heater is equipped with a high-pres-
sure pump. The pump draws fuel up from the fuel tank to
the nozzle in the burner head. It is sprayed into the
combustion chamber in a fine mist where it is mixed with
air for combustion.
Quick-Fire Ignition:
two-pronged spark plug. The spark ignites the fuel/air
mixture as it is sprayed into the combustion chamber.
Air System: A blower motor assembly forces air around
the combustion chamber, where it is super-heated and
forced out the front of the chamber. A cooling fan blows air
up and around the chamber during operation and also
runs during the cool-down period.
Electrical System Protection:
system is protected by a circuit breaker that protects the
system components from damage. If the heater fails,
check the fuse first, and replace if necessary (see page
10).
Flame Sensor:
flame in the combustion chamber. Should the flame
extinguish, the sensor will stop electrical current and the
heater will shut off.
A transformer sends high voltage to a

The heater uses a photocell to see the
Unpacking Heater
1. Attach handle by lining up holes of handle with the holes
in the upper shell of heater (See figure 4).
2. Insert screws and tighten.
3. Remove the heater and all of the packaging materials
from the shipping carton.
NOTE: Save the box and packaging materials for future
storage.
Fuel (1-K Kerosene)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly
suggested that 1-K kero sene be used. 1-K kerosene has
been refined to virtually eliminate contami nants, such as
sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during the
operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel
fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not available. Be
advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh
air ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants
that may be added to the heated space. Using diesel fuel
can cause excess soot production. DO NOT use any fuel
that is not approved above. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this
fuel will damage your heater’s seals and filter.
WARNING
fuel, paint thinners or other oil products to fuel this heater.
These are volatile fuels that could cause an explosion or
uncontrolled flame.
Kerosene should only be transported or stored in a
blue container that is clearly marked “kerosene”.
Never store kerosene in a red container, because red
containers are associated with gasoline.
Never store kerosene in a living area. Kerosene should
always be stored in a well ventilated area outside of the
living space.
Never store kerosene in direct sunlight or near any
heating source.

Fueling the Heater
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 fuel tank.
It is always a good idea to fire the heater outdoors for the
first time. This will allow any oils used in the manufacturing
process to be burned off in a safe environment. This initial
burn should last at least 10 minutes.
WARNING
Never transport this heater in a vehicle while containing
fuel.

Ventilation
Always provide a fresh air opening in
the heated space of at least three
square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,000 BTU/Hr. of
heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are
being used. As an example, an PT-70-SS-A heater will
require:
- a two-car garage door open 6 inches, or
- a single car garage open 9 inches, or
- two thirty two inch wide windows open fifteen inches.
Operation
WARNING
other device that will interrupt power to the heater and
bypass the required cool down cycle.
To Start the Heater
1. Fill the tank with kerosene until fuel gauge points to “F”.
2. Be sure fuel cap is secure.
3. Plug power cord into three prong, grounded extension
cord and plug extension cord into three prong 120v
grounded outlet. The extension cord should be at least
six feet long.
Extension cord wire size requirements are as follows:
- 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters), use 18 AWG wire.
- 11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.4 meters), use 16 AWG wire.
- 101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters), use 14 AWG wire.
4. Push the Operating switch to the “ON” position. The
power indicator lamp will light and the heater will start.
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 Step #4 with fuel
gauge reading at least 1/2 tank.
NOTE: The electrical components of this heater are
protected by a fuse mounted in the PC board. If the heater
fails to fire, check this fuse first, and replace if necessary.
Also check the power source to be sure that the proper
voltage is being provided to the heater.
Do not use this product with any
accessory thermostat device or any
To Restart the Heater
1. Wait ten seconds after cooling cycle has completed.
2. Turn the Operating Switch to “ON” position.
3. Be sure to follow all starting procedure precautions.
Electrical Outlet
WARNING
Shock Hazard!
- Never plug in an appliance with more than a 5 amp
rating into this outlet.
- Always keep outlet covered when not in use.

WARNING
Never service heater while hot or still
connected to electrical source.
Maintenance
NEVER OPERATE THIS HEATER UNATTENDED!
Use only original equipment replacement parts. The use of
alternate or third party components can cause unsafe
operating conditions, and will void your warranty.
We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:
Filters
- The Fuel Filter and Oil Filter should be cleaned at
least twice per heating season by rinsing it in clean 1-K
kerosene. Contaminated fuel could make this necessary
immediately (see Figure 6).
To Stop the Heater
1. Turn the Operating switch to “OFF” position.
Combustion will stop, and the Cooling Cycle (approx. 45 minutes) will begin.
2. When Cooling Cycle is completed (fan stops running), it
is safe to unplug the heater.
- Unplugging the heater before the Cooling Cycle has
ended may cause overheating, damage to the heater,
and could void the warranty.
CAUTION

kerosene inside of the Fuel Tank. Empty the tank fully.
- NEVER MIX WATER WITH KEROSENE, as it will cause
rust inside the tank.
- Empty tank completely.
Never store leftover kerosene over the summer. Using
old fuel can damage your 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
