CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product but must be applied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following: You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets, and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimized by the installation of appropriate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply that is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Connecting to the power supply:
This SIP heater is fitted with a standard 230v ~ 13 amp type plug. Before using the heater, inspect the main lead and plug to ensure that neither is damaged. If any damage is visible have the heater inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy-duty impact-resistant plug would be preferable. The wires for the plug are colored in the following way:

As the colors of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal marked with N or colored black. The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal, which is marked L or colored red. The wire which is colored yellow/green should be connected to the terminal which is colored the same or marked
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.

Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse (5 amp). If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always use a 5 amp fuse.
Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply; ensure that this is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
Note: The cross-section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.

GUARANTEE

Guarantee:
This SIP heater is covered by 12-month parts and labor warranty covering failure due to manufacturers’ defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or operating the machine outside the scope of this manual.
In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.
Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honored.
Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honored.

OVERVIEW OF HEATER DESIGN

Fuel System: The heater is equipped with an electric air pump that forces air through the air line connected to the fuel intake, and then through a nozzle in the burner head.
When air passes in front of the fuel intake, it causes fuel to rise from the tank and into the burner nozzle.
This fuel and air mixture is then sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
Sure Fire Ignition: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially designed electrode /spark plug. The electrode/spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture described above. Air System: The heavy-duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the combustion chamber. Here, the air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.
Safety System.
Temperature limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device activates and turns your heater off, it may suggest that the heater requires a service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will be able to start your heater.
Electrical System Protection: This heater’s electrical system is protected by a fuse mounted to the PCB assembly that protects it and other electrical components from damage.  If your heater fails to operate, check this fuse first and replace it as needed. Always replace the fuse like for like.
Flame-Out Sensor: The heater utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in the combustion chamber during normal operation. It will cause the heater to shut off should the burner flame extinguish.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To Start The Heater.

• Set the heater on a stable level surface.

• Remove the fuel cap.

• Fill the fuel tank with diesel.

• Refit the fuel cap.
  Note: Never fuel the heater when it is running, or is still hot from running; Always leave the heater until it is cool before fuelling. Never fuel the heater in an enclosed space. Do not overfill the heater and wipe up any spills prior to operation.

• Plug the mains lead into a corresponding electrical socket.

• Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired setting.

• push the power switch to the “ON” position – The Power indicator lamp will light and the heater will start.

Important: The first ignition of the heater should be carried out outdoors – This will allow any oils etc. used during the manufacturing process to be burnt off.
If the heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too low – Turn the THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB to a higher position to start the heater. If the heater still does not start,  turn the power switch to OFF and then back to the ON position.
Note: The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a safety fuse mounted to the PCB. If your heater fails to start, check this fuse first and replace as necessary. You should also check your power source to ensure that proper voltage and frequency are being supplied to the heater.
To Stop The Heater.

• Turn the power switch to “OFF” and unplug the mains lead.
• To Restart The Heater.
• Wait at least 10 seconds after stopping the heater.
• Repeat the steps under, “To Start The Heater”

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Air contaminants taken into the heater may affect the heat output, damage the unit, and may cause health problems.
Example: Body-shop filler dust/paint overspray will damage the motor bearing, clog the filters and contaminate the combustion chamber causing flame flutter and health hazards. Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust/paint overspray or similar will not be covered by warranty. Additionally, a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust/paint overspray or similar. The following is only a guide; if the heater is used in heavy dust environments the servicing frequency should be adjusted accordingly to prolong the life of the heater.
