Safety Information

RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION!

The products described in this manual are

Kerosene/Diesel direct-red, forced air heaters.

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

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Kerosene/Diesel 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

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.

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.

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 outlet (front). NEVER use duct work in front of heater. NEVER move or handle heater while still hot.

RISK OF BURNS, FIRE AND EXPLOSION!

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

Operation

Ventilation:

Kerosene

For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that Kerosene be used.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR

WARNING

Operation

Starting the Heater: (Ignition)

HH-70-SS-A:

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 1.8 meters long and is a minimum of 14 AWG rating.

Stopping the Heater: (Cool Down)

1. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position. Combustion will stop and the Cooling Cycle will begin.

- HH-70-SS-A: approx. 7 mins When the Cooling Cycle is complete the fan

will stop running and it will be safe to unplug the heater.

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: 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 5)

NOTE: Unplugging the heater before the Cooling Cycle has been completed may cause overheating, possible damage to the heater and heat plate.

Restarting the Heater:

1. Wait ten seconds after Cooling Cycle has been completed.

2. Follow all start-up procedures above.

DO NOT disconnect heater from power source before

cooling cycle has been completed.

Electrical Outlet:

- Never plug an appliance with more than a 5 amp rating into this outlet (See Figure 6).

- Always keep outlet covered when not in use

Maintenance

Long Term Storage:

1. Unscrew the fuel cap.

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.

Service:

Never service heater while it is plugged in or hot!

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 7)

Figure 7

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 8)

DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE AN EXPERIENCED SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS.

We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:

Figure 8

FUEL / FUEL TANK:

TIP: Follow the long term storage

instructions to ush the tank.

Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as

needed. DO NOT ush with water, use fresh

Kerosene only.

Service (Continued):

NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR

WHILE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE

Maintenance

NOZZLES:

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 9)

Figure 9

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 10)

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. (See Figure 11)
