FUELING THE HEATER
Make certain the heater is level. Remove the fuel cap and fill the fuel tank with clean kerosene for optimal
performance of this heater. This heater has been tested and certified for use with JP8/Jet A, #1 and #2
Fuel Oil, #1 and #2 Diesel. Diesel does not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene, and care should be taken to
provide more fresh air ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be produced dur-
ing operation of the heater. In extreme cold temperatures, it is recommended a fuel stabilizer formulated
to remove condensation and to prevent the fuel from gelling be added to the fuel tank. Do not overfill the
fuel tank. Replace the fuel cap after filling the fuel tank.
WARNING: DO NOT START HEATER WHEN THE HEATER IS HOT.
- DO NOT START HEATER WHEN EXCESS FUEL HAS ACCUMULATED IN THE CHAMBER.
- NOT FOR USE WITH AN EXTERNAL FUEL TANK.
- NEVER FILL THE FUEL TANK IN LIVING SPACE
- DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR CRANKCASE DRAINING, NAPHTHA OR VOLATILE FUELS.
- ALWAYS FILL THE FUEL TANK OUTDOORS AWAY FROM LIVING AREAS.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly marked "kerosene".
Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated with gasoline.
•
NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area out-
side the living area.
•
NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
•
NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over
time. OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
•
Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a suitable substitute.
NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A FUEL
SOURCE.
Note: The first time you light the heater, it should be done OUTDOORS. This allows the oils, and other lubricants used in the
manufacturing process to be burned off outside.
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
After filling the fuel tank with approved fuel, con-
nect the plug to a 3-prong, grounded extension cord
adequately rated for this application.
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements:
•
6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) long, use 18
AWG conductor.
•
11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.53 meters) long, use
16 AWG conductor.
•
101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use
14 AWG conductor.
ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT
1. Turn the Thermostat Control Knob clockwise to
the desired heat setting. Push the Power Switch
to the "ON" position. The Power Indicator Lamp
will light and the heater will start.
2. If the heater does not start, the thermostat setting
may be lower than the ambient temperature.
3. Turn the Thermostat Control Knob to a higher
temperature setting.
