Safety Information

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 efciency, 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.

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

Sore Throat

• Burning of Nose and Eyes

• Dry Mouth

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 heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on page 7 for further instructions.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

ALWAYS use only the electrical power (voltage and frequency) specified on the model plate of the heater.

ALWAYS use only three-prong, grounded outlet and extension cord.

ALWAYS use only 14 AWG or better extension cord. 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.

RISK OF BURNS, FIRE AND EXPLOSION!

NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzine, paint thinners or other oil compounds in this heater.

NEVER refill the heater’s fuel tank while the heater is operating or still hot. This heater is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.

NEVER block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front). NEVER use duct work in front or rear of heater. NEVER move or handle heater while still hot. NEVER transport heater with fuel in tank.

NEVER use with an external fuel tank.

CAUTION! HOT WHILE IN

OPERATION. DO NOT TOUCH. KEEP CHILDREN, ANIMALS, CLOTHING AND COMBUSTIBLES AWAY FROM HEATER.

Keep all combustible materials away from this heater.

CAUTION

DANGER

WARNING

WHILE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE

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 rened 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 & no. 2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel, no. 1 and no. 2 fuel oil.

DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.

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.

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:

- 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.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

- ALWAYS provide a fresh air opening in the heated

space of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,00 Btu / Hr. of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being used.

1250 cm² 1950 cm² 3480 cm² 3760 cm² 5990 cm²

- 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.

- 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.

Optional Electrical Outlet:

- Never plug an appliance with more than a 5 amp rating into this outlet (See Figure 8).

- Always keep outlet covered when not in use.

Operation

Starting the Heater: (Ignition)

1. Fill the tank with kerosene or other approved fuel until needle on fuel gauge points to “F”.

2. Replace fuel cap and tighten firmly.

3. Connect the heater to a three prong (grounded) power source. You must use a three prong (grounded) extension cord that is at least 6 feet long and is a minimum of 14 AWG rating.

Model 45-KFA:

1. Complete steps 1-3 above.

2. Move power switch to “On” position. The power indicator light will illuminate and the heater will ignite. (See Figure 9)

Models 75T-KFA / 125T-KFA / 175T-KFA / 215T-KFA:

1. Complete “starting heater ignition” steps 1-3 above

2. Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature setting. The thermostat set range is from 40 ºF to 110 ºF.

3. Move power switch to “On” position. The power indicator light and room temperature display will illuminate and heater will ignite. (See Figure 10)

TIP: If the heater does not ignite, the

thermostat may be set too low. Turn the control knob to a higher setting until the heater ignites. If the heater does not ignite; move switch to “Off” position, check steps 1-3 above and then move switch to “On” position.

NOTE: If if the heater still does not ignite, refer to

“Troubleshooting Guide” on page 12.

TIP: If the heater does not ignite; move switch to “Off” position, check steps 1-3

above and then move switch to “On” position.

Stopping / Restarting Heater:

- To stop the heater, move the power switch to the “Off” position and unplug the power cord.

- To restart the heater; wait 10 seconds and follow ignition steps.

NOTE: If if the heater still does not ignite, refer to

“Troubleshooting Guide” on page 12.

NOTE: The 45-KFA and 75T-KFA do not have a room

temperature display feature.

The room temperature display will indicate the following:

- When the temperature is less than 0 ºF the display says “LO”.

- When the temperature is more that 99 ºF the display says “HI”.

- Between 0 °F and 99 °F the display shows actual temperature.

Stopping / Restarting Heater:

- To stop the heater, move the power switch to the “Off” position and unplug the power cord.

- To restart the heater; wait 10 seconds and follow ignition steps.

Maintenance

Long Term Storage:

Models 45-KFA / 75T-KFA:

1. Use an approved siphon to drain fuel through the fuel cap opening.

Models 125T-KFA / 175T-KFA / 215T-KFA:

1. Drain fuel through the drain plug in the bottom of the fuel tank.

2. To remove the drain plug, pull the plug grip downward and remove the seal head from the drain hole in the tank. (See Figure 11)

Service:

Never service heater while it is plugged in or hot!

DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE A COMPETENT SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS.

Use only original equipment parts. The use of alternate or third party components can cause unsafe operating conditions and will void your warranty.

TIP: To order OEM parts call (800)-641-6996

(Pull Down)

3. Using a small amount of kerosene, rinse and swirl the kerosene inside of the fuel tank, empty the tank fully.

4. To replace the drain plug; push the drain head fully into the drain hole and secure by pushing the seal cap fully into the head hole. (See Figure 12)

We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:

FUEL / FUEL TANK:

Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed.

TIP: Follow the long term storage

instructions to ush the tank.

DO NOT ush with water, use fresh 1-K kerosene only.

AIR FILTERS:

The air intake lter should be replaced or washed

with soap and water and dried thoroughly every 500 hours of operation or less depending on conditions.

The output and lint lters should be replaced

every 500 hours of operation or less depending on conditions.

NOTE: Use of diesel fuel may require

additional maintenance
