⚠ WARNING RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION!
The products described in this manual are kerosene direct-fired, forced air heaters. Kerosene forced air heaters are 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 only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so precautions should be taken to provide proper

⚠ DANGER  CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

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 flu. 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, anaemia or those under the influence of alcohol or at high altitudes.

Not For Indoor Use. Indoor use permitted only for the temporary heating of buildings 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 6 for further instructions.

Operation
Fuelling 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 refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulphur, 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 filter.

– CSA certified for use with 1-K kerosene, no. 1 diesel, Jet A Fuel, and no. 1 fuel oil.

DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.
– 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.

⚠ DANGER NEVER REFUEL THIS HEATER WHILE IT IS HOT OR OPERATING. FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.

⚠ CAUTION 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.

⚠ WARNING DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR CRANKCASE DRAININGS.

Operation

Ventilation:
– Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. Not For Indoor Use. Indoor use permitted only for the temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair.

⚠ DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

– 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 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.

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.
4. Press the power button to power on the heater.
5. Select desired temperature using temperature buttons.
6. The heater will ignite once the temperature setting is higher than the ambient temperature in the space.

⚠ TIP: If the heater does not ignite, the thermostat may be set too low. Increase the temperature to a higher setting until the heater ignites.
⚠ TIP: If the heater does not ignite; press power button to power off the heater, check steps 1-3 above and press power button to power ON the heater.

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:

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 4)
   

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 5)

IMPORTANT: Never store leftover kerosene between seasons, using old fuel can damage heater.

Service:
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.

We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:

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

FUEL / FUEL TANK:
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed. DO NOT flush with water, use fresh 1-K kerosene only.

FAN BLADES:
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 6.

FUEL FILTER:
The fuel filter should be cleaned at least twice per heating season. Clean the filter by rinsing it in clean 1-K Kerosene. Contaminated fuel could make cleaning the fuel filter necessary immediately.

NOTE: To remove the filter from models turn filter 90º counter-clockwise. See Figure 7.

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 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 9.

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 the nozzle in 1-K kerosene to loosen any dirt particles.
