TRAILER CHECK LIST
PLEASE PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO YOUR
FVO-1000TR HEATER TRAILER TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
• Visually inspect outside & inside of trailer to ensure all
instructions and decals are in place and legible.
Inspect the tires to ensure road worthy and have proper inflation.
• Inspect hitch assembly and safety tow chains.
• Inspect jack assembly to make sure it operates properly.
• Make sure all trailer cabinet doors are closed before attempting to
relocate trailer.
• Check lug nuts and torque to 80-90 ft. lbs. Lug nuts should be re-
torqued every 100 miles.
• Check oil, fuel and coolant levels on genset.
• Make sure brake & signal lights on trailer are completely
operational.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and the terminals are tight.
• Start engine and heaters to ensure proper operation.
• Review engine manual for maintenance requirements.
TOWING INSTRUCTIONS

FVO-1000TR SETUP PROCEDURE
The two FVOHC-400 heaters in the trailer need to be tested and set up
before every operation. Proper combustion must be achieved using a
certified combustion analyzer and smoke gun tester to ensure optimum
set up. The air adjustment should be made to achieve a maximum of
10% CO2 and No. 1 or “trace” smoke. (Bacharach Scale)
SETTING THE AIR ADJUSTMENT PLATE
A) Regulation of the
combustion air flow is made
by adjustment of the manual
AIR ADJUSTMENT PLATE
(1) after loosening the FIXING
SCREWS (2 & 3). The initial
setting of the air adjustment
plate is set to 4.5 at the
factory.
B) The proper number on the
manual AIR ADJUSTMENT
PLATE (1) should line up with
the SETTING INDICATOR (4)
on the fan housing cover.
Once set, the air adjustment
plate should be secured in
place by tightening SCREWS
2 and 3.
C) The final position of the air
adjustment plate will vary on
each installation. Use instruments to establish the proper settings for maximum
CO2 and a smoke reading of zero.
NOTE: Variations in flue gas, smoke, CO2 and temperature readings may be
experienced when the burner cover is put in place. Therefore, the burner
cover must be in place when making the final combustion instrument readings,
to ensure proper test results.
SETUP PROCEDURE (HIGH ALTITUDE)
When the FVO-1000TR is required to operate over 2000 feet above sea
level there will be necessary adjustments needed to burn efficiently with
thinner air. Please review the following chart as a starting point; please
note that a combustion analyzer & smoke gun will be required to
achieve optimum set up.

Please refer to the Air adjustment plate diagram on page 6, the
turbulator diagram at the bottom of this page & the nozzle replacement
diagram on page 8.
NOTE: The burners are equipped with a 2.00 X 60W nozzle, due to the
increase density of oil/diesel fuel at colder temperatures.
TURBULATOR SETTING
A) Loosen NUT (1), then turn SCREW (2) until the INDEX MARKER (3) is
aligned with the correct index number as per the Burner Set-up chart
above.
B) Retighten the RETAINING NUT (1)
NOTE: Zero and five are scale indicators only. From left to right, the first
line is 5 and the last line 0.
INSERTION / REMOVAL OF DRAWER ASSEMBLY
A) To remove drawer assembly, loosen SCREW (3), then unplug
CONTROL BOX (1) by carefully pulling it back and then up.
B) Remove the AIR TUBE COVER PLATE (5) by loosening the two
retaining SCREWS (4).
C) Loosen SCREW (2), and then slide the complete drawer assembly out
of the combustion head as shown.
D) To insert drawer assembly, reverse the procedure in items A to C above,
and then attach fuel line to the pump.
NOZZLE PLACEMENT
A) Remove the NOZZLE ADAPTER (2) from the DRAWER ASSEMBLY by
loosening the SCREW (1).
B) Insert the proper NOZZLE into the NOZZLE ADAPTER and tighten
securely (Do not over tighten).
C) Replace adapter, with nozzle installed, into drawer assembly and secure
with screw (1).
