KEROSENE (1-K) For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulpher.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN Fuel System: This heater is equipped with a Fuel pump(Gear)that pulls fuel through the fuel line connected to the fuel tank and then pushes fuel through a filter and a solenoid valve and out the burner head nozzle. This fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist. “Sure Fire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially designed spark plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 7. OPERATION A.) VENTILATION RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION/USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS. Provide at least a three-square foot(2,800 sq. cm.) opening of fresh outside air for each 100,000 BTU/hr. of heater rating. B.) OPERATION TO START HEATER 1. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil. 2. Attach fuel cap. 3. Plug power cord of heater into three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! TO STOP HEATER CAUTION ; Never unplug heater while heater is running Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is complete. 1. Turn operating switch to “OFF”. This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during the cooling cycle. (Room Temp.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 8. LONG TERM STORAGE OF YOUR HEATER 1. Remove fuel drain bolt from rear bottom side of fuel tank using 3/4” socket or adjustable wrench and drain. 2. Using a small amount of kerosene, swirl and rinse the inside of the tank. NEVER mix water with the kerosene as it will cause rust inside the tank. Pour the kerosene out making sure that you remove it all. IMPORTANT : Do not store kerosene over summer months for use during next heating season.
