Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil
or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels will
result in a clogged fuel filter and/or nozzle.

 Use a KEROSENE ONLY

storage container. Be sure storage container is
clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or
water will cause the ignition control assembly
to shut down the heater. Foreign matter may
also require you to clean fuel system often.

Provide at least a three-square-foot opening
of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr
rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heat-
ers are being used.

Example:

  A 70,000 Btu/Hr heater requires

one of the following:

• a two-car garage door (16 feet wide open-

ing) raised two inches

• a single-car garage door (9 feet wide

opening) raised three inches

• two windows (30 inches wide opening)

raised six inches
