DEVIL IRD40B HEATER OVERVIEW

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

A pump draws fuel from the tank and drives it to the burner under pressure.
Fuel is sprayed and atomised by the nozzle and then ignited by the burner ignition device. A built-in radial blower provides combustion airflow while air and fuel forms a combustion mixture. The flames heat up the front plate and guard, thus releasing heat by radiation.
The burner pre-heater warms up the fuel before start-up and the postventilation function cools down the chamber after each use. No flue or exhaust pipe is required as all combustion gasses are catalysed during operation.
The unit can be tilted from 12 to 27o to direct heat at a particular target.

SAFETY FEATURES

The unit is fitted with a temperature limit sensor, which is designed to turn the heater off if the temperature should rise to an unsafe level. If the sensor is tripped and the heater is turned off it may require a service. Once the temperature falls back below the reset temperature, the heater should restart.
The heater is fitted with an electrical circuit breaker to protect the internal components from damage. If the heater should fail to work, this fuse may require checking by your dealer.
The heater is fitted with a tilt switch designed to turn the unit off immediately if it should tip over beyond a pre-determined angle.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

The following symbols appear on the heater.

| Hot Surface, do not touch| | Read these instructions before use
---|---|---|---
| Do not cover| |

PREPARATION

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY

When unpacking, check the heater for any damage that may have occurred
in transit and notify your Clarke dealer immediately should any be apparent.

1. Fit the heat shield to the heater body using three screws/nuts near the top of the heater.
   

2. Fit the front grille to the heater using four screws into the captive nuts secured to the frame.
   

3. Fit the handle to the rear of the heater using four bolts/nuts supplied loose.

SUITABLE FUELS
Diesel or paraffin (kerosene) are the only fuels that should be used.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

Before re-fuelling, disconnect from the power supply and allow to cool down.
Fill the tank with clean, water-free diesel oil. When refilling, inspect the mesh filter inside the filler neck for any trapped contamination and clean out if necessary.

• When filling the heater, make sure that the heater is level and do not overfill. Use a funnel or can with a long filling spout
  

Plug the heater into any suitably earthed mains power supply.
NOTE: In cold weather, condensation may develop in the tank if the tank is empty. Before filling the fuel tank for the first time or after extended storage periods, vent the fuel tank of any moisture or condensation.

POSITIONING THE HEATER

The heater must be located on a hard, level surface to minimise the risk of accidental tipping over or running forward. Chock the wheels if there is any possibility of movement.
Set the heater angle of inclination by loosening and re-tightening the positioning knobs on either side to achieve the required angle of tilt.
This heater should not be used in habitable areas.
The heater should always be positioned well away from sources of airbourne dust, as ingress of dust into the heater may cause it to malfunction. It will be beneficial to shield the heater from a dusty work environment.

MATERIAL CLEARANCES

It is important that the heater be positioned with at least 3 m clearance at the front between the heater and any obstruction including walls or other combustible surfaces. Always position the heater facing the centre of the room. Never place any objects on, or against the heater.
Any equipment or workshop furniture should be a safe distance away as they could be adversely affected by heat. When the heater is in use, periodically monitor any buildup of heat on nearby surfaces.

VENTILATION
The heater must only be installed in a room which is well ventilated. Ensure that sufficient air is available for combustion via windows and doors, especially if there will be people staying in the room for any length of time. Constant occupation is not advised although the heater should be monitored periodically.
Ventilation is essential to reduce the dangers of oxygen depletion.

HEATER OPERATION WITHOUT PEOPLE IN THE ROOM
Ensure that sufficient air is available via windows and doors for complete combustion. The heated volume (m3)/ heat output (kW) ratio must be at least 10:1, and personnel should not stay permanently in the heated room.

HEATER OPERATION WITH PEOPLE REMAINING IN THE ROOM
If people are to remain in the room for any length of time, the heated volume (m3) /heat output (kW) must be at least 30:1. Air circulation must be ensured through windows and doors or permanent openings near the floor and ceilings, whose total open area (m2) is at least 0.003 times the total heat output (kW).
