MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter is located in the heater tank.
REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER
1. Disconnect the fuel hoses from the fuel pump.
2. Lift off the rubber seal on the fuel tank with a screwdriver.
3. Unscrew the nut lightly with a spanner.
4. Ensure that two (2) small O-rings remain on the copper pipe before
installing the new fuel filter.
5. Screw the fuel filter lightly onto the copper pipe.
6. Place the fuel filter back into the tank and attach the fuel hoses to
the fuel pump.
NOTE!
The fuel system may require bleeding after fuel filter replacement.
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
If the heater's fuel pump sounds exceptionally loud and the heater does not run
properly, the probable cause is air in the fuel system.
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
1. Loosen the bleeder wing nut at the bottom of the fuel pump by 2–3 rotations.
2. Start the heater.
3. When you hear the fuel pump start, wait for 2–3 seconds and close the bleed
screw.
Bleeding the system may require this procedure to be repeated 2–3 times.
STORING THE HEATER
It is a good idea to unplug the power cord for every period of storage.
Place the power cord in the tank inside the heater to ensure that it is not
caught under a tyre, for example, when being moved.
Allow the heater to cool down completely before placing it in storage.
Protect the heater during storage by covering it with the bag included in
the delivery.
Storing the heater outdoors or in an extremely humid environment may
cause corrosion resulting in significant technical damage.
If the heater will be out of use for an extended period, fill the fuel tank
with an additive to prevent any microbial growth inside the tank.
