DESCRIPTION OF ARTICLES

1. POWER CABLE (where present):
   THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY.
   (Pic. 5) The heater can be connected to the mains by the power supply cable. Check the cable regularly for wear, in order to avoid serious damage. Observe all the warning messages relating to the power cable in this manual.

2.   BATTERY (when applicable):
   (Pic. 6)
   NOTES: DEPENDING ON THE BATTERY CAPACITY (MEASURED IN Ah), IT IS NECESSARY TO USE AN ORIGINAL BATTERY CHARGER AND OF ADEQUATE POWER.
   The heater can operate autonomously using an original Li-ion rechargeable battery, without a mains connection. The rechargeable battery is provided only partially charged. It is advisable, therefore, to fully charge the battery before initial use. Use only original batteries to power the heater. Observe all the warning messages relating to the battery in this manual.

3. BATTERY CHARGER (when applicable):
   (Pic. 7) The battery charger is designed to charge orig-inal lithium- batteries. The operating parameters for the battery charger (see the data plate affixed on the battery charger) must be observed. Use the battery charger in completely dry, dust-free environments to charge only the original rechargeable batteries used to power this heater. The battery charger is designed to automatically charge the rechargeable battery when connected (Pic. 8). A LED light on the battery charger provides detailed diagnostics during the charging phase (Pic. 9). Observe all the warn-ing messages relating to the battery charger in this man-ual.

FUEL

WARNING: The heater only works with DIESEL or KEROSENE.

Only use diesel or kerosene to avoid any fire or explosion hazard. Never use petrol, naphtha, solvents for paints, al-cohol or other highly inflammable fuels.
Use non-toxic, anti-freeze additives in case of very low temperatures.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The air needed to ensure proper combustion is produced by the rotation of a fan inside the burner. The air flow comes out from the burner sleeve and mixes with the fuel that is sprayed at a high pressure by a nozzle. The noz-zle- sprayed fuel is guaranteed by an electric pump that sucks the fuel from the tank and pushes it at high pressure to the nozzle.
