SPECIFICATION

WARNING!
This heater is not suitable for use with paraffin, petrol or Bio-Diesel.
Use of Bio-Diesel will damage the filter and seals.
Damage caused by use of Paraffin, Petrol or Bio-Diesel will not be covered by warranty.

ASSEMBLY

1. Remove front guard from packed/transit position.
2. Assembly Radiant Visor to the top rear of the Radiant Cone Assembly using 3 included screws (fig.2).
3. Attach Safety Guard to front of heater with screws provided (fig.3).

OPERATION

WARNING! This heater is not suitable for use with petrol, paraffin or Bio-Diesel; use of Bio-Diesel will damage the filter and seals. Damage caused by use of Paraffin, Petrol or Bio-Diesel will not be covered by warranty.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

1. Fuel system: This heater is equipped with a high-pressure 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.
2. Quick-Fire Ignition: A transformer sends high voltage to a two-pronged spark plug. The spark ignites the fuel/air mixture as it is sprayed into the combustion chamber.
3. Air System: A blower motor assembly forces air around the combustion chamber, where it is super-heated and up and around the chamber during operation and also runs during the cool-down period.
4. Electrical System Protection: The heater’s electrical 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.

WARNING! Air contaminants taken into the heater may affect the heat output, damage the unit and may cause health problems.
Example: Bodyshop filler dust/paint overspray will damage the motor bearing, clog the filter and compressor and contaminate the combustion chamber causing flame flutter and health hazards. Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust/paint overspray will not be covered by warranty. Additionally, a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust/ paint over spray.

VENTILATION:

• WARNING! Only use the heater in well ventilated areas. Careful consideration must be given to the placing of the heater to provide safe and comfortable heating. Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area. A ventilation opening must run to the outside of the premises in which the heater is to be operated.
  The heater requires a fresh air opening of at least 3030cm².

For Example:

• A two car garage door should be open at least 13cm.
• A single car garage door should be open at least 18cm.
• Two 76cm windows should both be open at least 22cm.

STARTING THE HEATER

NOTE: If air has entered the fuel line; possible when new, when left standing for a long period or when the tank level has fallen too low, priming may be necessary. It is preferable to start the heater outdoors for the first time, to allow any oils left over from the manufacturing process and transporting to be burnt off in a safe environment. Run it for 10 minutes on this first burn.

1. Carefully fill the fuel tank with clean approved fuel until full.
2. Ensure the fuel cap is secure.
3. Plug the power cord into a suitable power socket. If using an extension lead see Electrical Safety section 1.1
4. Turn the “ON/OFF” Switch “ON” (fig.4). The unit should be online in a few seconds. If it is not, please refer to troubleshooting section.
   NOTE: In the event of unit being turned off due to running out of fuel, turn the unit off, allow to cool for at least 5 minutes refuel and turn it back on.

WARNING: When turning the unit off, DO NOT switch off the power or disconnect the power cable before the unit cools down completely (minimum of 5 minutes required).

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!: Allow unit to cool down for a minimum of 5 minutes before attempting any maintenance.
Use only original equipment replacement parts. Isolate power before any maintenance. The use of alternate or third party components can cause unsafe operating conditions, and will invalidate the warranty. We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows.

1. FUEL/FUEL TANK – Flush every 200 hours of operation or as needed. DO NOT use water to flush the tank. Use fresh kerosene/ diesel only (see fig.7).
2. FILTERS – The Fuel Filter should be cleaned at least twice per heating season by rinsing them in clean kerosene/diesel. This procedure should also be followed if the fuel is found to be contaminated (fig.5).
3. NOZZLE – Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least once per heating season (fig.6). This procedure should also be followed if the fuel is found to be contaminated. To clean dirt from nozzle, blow compressed air through nozzle front. It may be necessary to soak the nozzle in clean kerosene/diesel to help loosen any particles.
4. LONG TERM STORAGE
5. Unscrew the Drain Plug and drain fuel into a suitable container (fig.1, fig.7).
6. Using a small amount of kerosene/diesel, rinse and swirl the fuel around the fuel tank. Empty the tank completely.
7. Never store leftover kerosene/diesel over the summer. Using old fuel can damage the heater.

Although this heater operates with diesel fuel,when the temperatures are below 0°C, diesel additives are required to maintain the diesel’s viscosity. Typically diesel can cloud in freezing conditions and will start to gel. You will need additives for your fuel in these conditions.
Kerosene does not start to gel until the ambient temperature is around -40°C.
