This unit is intended for household and commercial
use.
HANDLE THE UNIT CAREFULLY
Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface. Do
not drop, throw, or place where it could fall. Rough
treatment can damage the unit, and may create a
hazardous condition or void the warranty.
FUEL TYPE
The Dragon is designed to operate on diesel fuel. In
cold weather, see "Cold weather recommendations"
below.
WARNING: Failure to use diesel fuel as specified
could cause injury and permanent damage to the
unit. It may also void the Dri-Eaz warranty.
For best results, purchase fresh fuel from a reliable
fuel distributor. Keep the Dragon fuel tank full to help
prevent the formation of condensation inside the tank.
When not using the Dragon for extended periods of
time, we recommend the addition of a diesel fuel fuel
stabilizer.
Cold weather recommendations
To optimize fuel quality and improve performance in
cold condtions use a diesel fuel stabilizer. Follow
product instructions.
Increasing temperature rise
In normal operating conditions (above 35°F/2°C), the
weather shield can be removed when operating the
Dragon. However, when operating the Dragon in
extremely low outdoor temperatures (below
35°F / 2°C) the temperature of the heated air can be
increased by leaving the weather shield in place during
operation. Note that removing the weather shield
increases airflow by about 100 CFM / 680 m
will reduce the Dragon's heat output.
