Store the Heater in a dry, well-ventilated area.
– Be sure that the storage area is free of dust and corrosive vapors. Repack the heater in the original packaging and keep the user’s manual in an easily accessible place.

WARNING
Never service the heater while it is plugged in or hot!
Service:
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE AN EXPERIENCED SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS. We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:

TIP : Follow the long-term storage instructions to flush the tank.

FUEL / FUEL TANK:
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed. DO NOT flush with water, use fresh Kerosene only.
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” (3.5 mm) (see Figure 12).

Service (Continued):

FAN BLADES: The fan blades should be cleaned at least once per heating season, depending on conditions. Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a burst of condensed air (see Figure 13).

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS:
Proper pressure is dependent on the fuel type the unit will be running. When smoking or non-ignition occurs, remove the lower panel. Locate the Phillips screw with a nut on the fuel pump to the left of the fuel line. There is a small “P” next to the pressure screw. The ideal pressure is 107 psi (7.5 kg/cm 2 ).

If you are experiencing smoking or fuel dripping from the unit, turn the screw clockwise 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn to increase the fuel pressure until the unit is operating properly.
If you are experiencing extended flames from the front of the unit, turn the screw 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn counterclockwise to reduce the air pressure until the unit is operating properly.
NOZZLES:
Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least once per heating season. Contaminated fuel could make this necessary immediately. To clean dirt from the nozzle, blow compressed air through the nozzle front. It may be necessary to soak nozzle in clean Kerosene or diesel to help loosen any particles (see Figure 14a and 14b).

FAQ’S

How do I know if I have a MH-80-OFR or a MH-125-OFR-A?

The only difference between the two is that the MH-125-OFR-A has a larger burner. Both models have the same heating capacity.

What is the warranty on my heater?

Pinnacle Climate Technologies provides a 1 year parts and labor warranty on all of our heaters. Warranty does not include shipping charges for replacement parts, but does include return shipping for defective parts. Warranty does not cover misuse, neglect, or normal wear and tear.

How do I clean my heater?

Your heater should be cleaned after each use with warm water and mild soap or detergent to remove any residue from fuel, dust, or dirt. Allow to dry before storing in an upright position or packing away for long periods of time. Do not allow water to enter your unit while cleaning as this can cause damage to internal components.

What type of fuel should I use in my heater?

Kerosene is recommended for best performance and safety when using this heater.

What type of oil should I use in my generator?

SAE 30 engine oil is recommended for best performance and safety when using this generator.

Are radiant kerosene heaters safe?

In addition to carbon monoxide, kerosene heaters can emit such pollutants as carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Breathing these substances can create a risk, especially to such people as pregnant women, asthmatics, individuals with cardiovascular disease, elderly persons and young children.

Why is my kerosene heater not working?

If your kerosene heater won’t light:
Make sure your heater is filled with quality K-2 grade kerosene, and that the wick has been soaked for at least an hour before attempting to light it. When you push the “ignite” button, the igniter should move into position above the wick surface and glow a bright orange.

How do I know if my kerosene heater needs a new wick?

Here are the signs that you may need to replace the wick in your kerosene heater.
The flame is ragged, uneven, irregular, or won’t reach ½ inch above the burn plate.
Lighting the wick is difficult – see how to light a kerosene heater.
The wick lights but it takes a very long time for it to get to normal burn position.

How do you reset a kerosene heater?

Drain the fuel tank and remove the wick assembly. Replace the wick and wick assembly and refill the fuel tank with kerosene.
Light the kerosene heater with little kerosene in the fuel tank. Allow it to burn dry until the flame starts to go out. …
Wait one hour, relight the wick with a match and let it burn out again.

What is difference between convection and radiant kerosene heater?

Key differences: Radiant Vs convection heat
Radiant heat warms objects and surfaces without heating the air in between. Those objects warm up directly and radiate back. Convection warms the air, which is a triple inefficiency.

Do radiant heaters get hot to touch?

Radiant panels work the same way as space heaters but without the same risk. Like space heaters, radiant panels get very hot in order to warm up a room they are not safe to the touch.

How do I get more heat out of my Master kerosene heater?

Second, and perhaps the most important thing, I placed a couple of fire bricks directly on top of the combustion chamber. The bricks heat up and then radiate the heat into the space rather than working solely by convection. I feel that this increases dramatically the efficiency of the heater.
