NOTE
When the heater is started for the first time or is started after the fuel tank has been
completely emptied, the flow of fuel to the burner may be impaired by air in the
system. In this case, the control box will cut out the heater and it will be necessary to
restart the starting procedures once or twice by depressing the reset button (1).

Start Up Procedures for Cold Weather Operations
CAUTION
Fill the fuel tank approximately halfway using an “Arctic Blend” of Diesel fuel. This is
a critical step considering that as the ambient temperature drops to 32°F (0°C), it will
begin to cloud as a result of the paraffin in the fuel solidifying. As the temperature
drops below 32°F (0°C), the molecules combine into solids, large enough to be
stopped by the filter, preventing fuel flow. This is known as the gel point, and
generally occurs about 15°F (-9.5°C) below the cloud point. Untreated (ordinary)
diesel fuel must therefore
“NOT”
be used.
1. Connect heater to a 120V, 60Hz grounded power supply for 15 minutes to pre-heat fuel filter.
2. Remove protective fabric covers from each end and check for debris.
3. Remove exhaust stack from heat outlet fabric cover.
4. Remove the operators’ manual and the thermostat / CO detector from the accessories bag.
5. Install exhaust stack.
6. Install the ducts and secure ducts by tightening strap. Minimize any bends. Keep ducts straight
7.
If using
, the remote thermostat / CO detector connect the cord‘s plug into receptacle (3), set the temperature,
and place the power switch (2) in the ON (II) position.
8. If
not
using the remote thermostat / CO detector, place the power switch (2) in the ON (I) position.
