Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble the ﬂu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs,

the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater

serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.

These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,

those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

SAFETY

INFORMATION

Continued

Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for

reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

• 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.

• Fueling

a) Personnel involved with fueling shall be qualified and thoroughly familiar

with the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable federal, state, and local

regulations regarding the safe fueling of heating units.

b) Only the type of fuel specified on the heater’s data plate shall be used.

c)Allflame,includingthepilot light,ifany, shallbe extinguishedandthe heater

allowed to cool, prior to fueling.

d) During fueling, all fuel lines and fuel-line connections shall be inspected for

THEORY OF

OPERATION

The Fuel System: The motor turns the fuel pump. The fuel pump pulls fuel from

the fuel tank. The fuel pump pushes fuel through a ﬁlter and a solenoid valve and out

the burner head nozzle. 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. It also allows the fan to continue running after normal shutdown

of heater. This cools the combustion chamber.

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

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

IMPORTANT:

Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage container. Be sure storage

container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause flame-out

control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require fuel system to be

cleaned frequently.

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.

WARNING

Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation requirements.

If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon

monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air

ventilation before running heater.

VENTILATION

Fresh Air Opening Requirements

Square Square

Heater Size Feet Opening Centimeter Opening

340,000 Btu/Hr 10.5 9755

Note:

If you use more than one heater, provide extra fresh air. Provide a fresh air

opening of at least three square feet (2800 square cm) for each 100,000 Btu/Hr

rating.

101964

OPERATION

To Start Heater

1. Follow all ventilation and safety information.

2. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.

3. Attach fuel cap.

4. Set thermostat dial to desired temperature.

Note:

Thermostat setting must be

higher than surrounding air temperature.

5. Plug power cord of heater into a standard 220/240 volt, 50 hertz, grounded

(earthed) outlet. Use an extension cord if needed. Use only a three-wire,

grounded (earthed) extension cord.

Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements

Up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) long, use 16 AWG (1.0 mm2) conductor

101 to 200 feet (30.6 to 61 meters) long, use 14 AWG (1.5 mm2) conductor

201 to 300 feet (61.1 to 91.5 meters) long, use 12 AWG (2 mm2) conductor

6. The motor will start when power cord is plugged into outlet. The heater should

ignite at once. If heater does not ignite, restart heater. To restart heater, wait

60 seconds, then push in flame-out control reset button. Flame-out control

reset button is at rear of heater near power cord (see Figure 4).

Note:

If starting heater for ﬁrst time, you may need to restart heater several times

before heater ignites. You may also have to do this after taking heater out of

storage.

WARNING

Review and understand the warnings in the Safety Information

Section. They are needed to safely operate this heater.

To Stop Heater

CAUTION

Never unplug heater while heater is running. Heater must go

through purge cycle. The purge cycle cools the combustion

chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber is

not cooled. Do not restart heater until purge cycle is complete.

Note:

If shipping, transport companies require fuel tanks to be empty.

1. Drainall fuelfrom fuelﬁlters, fuellines, andpump (seeFuel Filters[Tank Fuel

Filter], page 17).

2. Clean and ﬂush fuel ﬁlter and canister attached to fuel pump (see Fuel Filters

[Pump Fuel Filter], page 17).

3. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.

4. Replace drain plug.

5. Add one gallon (four liters) of clean kerosene to fuel tank.

6. Attach fuel cap.

7. Move the heater forwards and backwards to stir fuel.

8. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.

9. Replace drain plug.

10. Add two gallons (eight liters) of clean kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to fuel tank.

11. Replace fuel cap.

12. Operate heater for 5 minutes (see Operation, page 8).

13. Stop heater and let cool completely.

14. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.

15. Replace drain plug.

16. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel.

17. Store heater in a dry location. Make sure storage place is free of dust and

corrosive fumes.

IMPORTANT:

Do not store kerosene over summer months for use during next

heating season. Using old fuel could damage heater.

STORING,

TRANSPORTING,

OR SHIPPING

To Restart Heater CAUTION

Do not restart heater until purge cycle is ﬁnished. The purge

cycle cools the combustion chamber.

1. Wait until purge cycle is ﬁnished after stopping heater.

2. Repeat steps under To Start Heater, page 8.

1. Turn thermostat dial to lowest temperature setting. This will cause heater

ﬂame to go out. The motor will continue to run during the purge cycle. This

allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the purge cycle is

ﬁnished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug heater until purge cycle is

ﬁnished.

2. Unplug extension cord from outlet.

3. To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature lower than air

around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air temperature around heater

matches thermostat setting.
