vapors are present.

•Follow all local ordinances and codes when using heater.

•Use only in well-vented areas. Provide at least a three-square-foot (2800

square cm) opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 BTU/Hr of rating.

•Use only in places free of ﬂammable vapors or high dust content.

•Use only with the electrical voltage and frequency speciﬁed on model plate.

•Use only a three-wire, grounded (earthed) extension cord.

•Minimum heater clearances from combustibles:

Outlet: 8 Ft. (250 cm) Sides, Top, and Rear: 4 Ft. (125 cm)

2. Remove all items from carton.

3. Check items for any shipping damage. If heater is damaged, promptly inform

dealer where you bought heater.

ASSEMBLY

(For 100,000 and 150,000

BTU/Hr Models Only)

These models are furnished with wheels and handles. Wheels, handles, and the

mounting hardware are found in the shipping carton.

Tools Needed

•Medium Phillips Screwdriver

•3/8" Open or Adjustable Wrench

•Hammer

1. Slide axle through wheel support frame. Install wheels on axle.

IMPORTANT:

When installing wheels, point extended hub of wheels toward

wheel support frame (see Figure 4).

2. Place cap nuts on axle ends. Gently tap with hammer to secure.

3. Place heater on wheel support frame. Make sure air inlet end (rear) of heater is

over wheels. Line up holes on fuel tank ﬂange with holes on wheel support

frame.

4. Place front handle and rear handle on top of fuel tank ﬂange. Insert screws

through handles, fuel tank ﬂange, and wheel support frame. Attach nut ﬁnger

tight after each screw is inserted.

5. After all screws are inserted, tighten nuts ﬁrmly.

THEORY OF

OPERATION The Fuel System: The air pump forces air through the air line. The air is then

pushed through the burner head nozzle. This air causes fuel to lift from the tank. A

ﬁne mist of fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber.

The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around

the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.

The Ignition System: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to the spark plug.

The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.

The Flame-Out Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down

if the ﬂame goes out.

WARNING

Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of ﬁre or

explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners,

alcohol or other highly ﬂammable fuels.

Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels

will result in:

•clogged fuel ﬁlter and nozzle

•carbon build up on spark plug

•use of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather

IMPORTANT:

Use a KEROSENE ONLY container. Be sure storage container is

clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the flame-out control to

shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system often.
