SAFETY DEVICES
MOVING AND TRANSPORTING THE HEATER
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
The heater can only work automatically when a control
mechanism, for example a thermostat or clock, is connected to
it by attaching the cable to terminals 2 and 3 of plug (4) supplied
with the product (the electric wire that links the two terminals
must be removed and remounted only if the heater is to be used
without the control mechanism).
To turn on the machine, do the following:
• If the control mechanism is connected, adjust it so that the
machine can function (for example, the thermostat must be set
to the maximum temperature).
• Flip switch (3) to the position with the symbol:
– the fan
comes on and after several seconds the heater starts burning.
The first time the heater is used, or after the fuel circuit has been
completely drained, the flow of fuel oil to the nozzle may be
insufficient and may activate the flame cut out mechanism,
which will turn off the heater; if this happens, wait for about a
minute and then press the reset button (1) to start the machine
again.
The first steps to take if the machine does not work are the
following:
1.Check that there is fuel in the tank.
2. Press the reset button (1).
3. If the heater still does not work, consult the
“TROUBLES-
HOOTING”
guide.
TURNING OFF THE HEATER
To turn off the machine, move switch (3) to the “0” position or
adjust the control mechanism, for example turning the thermostat
to a lower position. The flame will go off and the fan will continue
to function until the combustion chamber has cooled down
completely.
SAFETY DEVICES
The heater is equipped with an electronic device to control the
flame. If there is an anomaly in the functioning, the machine will
be turned off and the reset button light (1) will come on.
An over-heating thermostat cuts in and shuts off the fuel supply if
the heater overheats: the thermostat resets itself automatically
when the temperature in the combustion chamber diminishes and
reaches the maximum permitted value.
Before turning the heater on again, the cause of the overheating
must be identified and removed (for example, a blockage in the
suction orifice and/or of the air flow duct, the non-functioning of
the fan). To turn on the machine again, press the reset button (1)
and repeat the specific instructions outlined in the section
“STARTING THE HEATER”
.
MOVING AND TRANSPORTING
THE HEATER
Before lifting or moving the heater, make sure that the fuel tank
cap is firmly in place.
The heater may be supplied in a portable version, with wheels,
or a suspended version, mounted on a support structure and
fixed in place with wires or chains. In the former case, to move
the heater, simply grasp the support handle and wheel the
heater. In the latter case, the heater must be lifted with a fork-lift
truck or a similar piece of equipment.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMME
To ensure that the heater continues to work properly, it is necessary to
periodically clean the combustion chamber, the burner and the fan.
Every 50 hours of use it is necessary to:
• Dismantle the filter cartridge, remove it and clean it with clean
fuel oil.
• Remove the exterior cylindrical casing and clean the inside
and the blades of the fan.
• Check the condition of the cables and the high voltage
connections on the electrodes.
• Dismantle the burner, clean the parts, then clean the electro-
des and regulate them to the distance indicated on page 8 in the
electrode regulation diagram.
STARTING THE HEATER
Before turning on the heater and therefore before attaching it to
the mains power supply, check that the characteristics of the
mains power supply are the same as those indicated on the
identification label.

WARNING: The electric power cable of the
heater must be earthed and must have a
differential magnetothermal switch. The elec-
tric plug must be connected to a socket
which has a disconnecting switch.
WARNING The following steps must be car-
ried out before moving the heater: turn the
heater off, following the instructions in the
previous section; disconnect the plug from
the power supply and wait for the
heater to cool.
WARNING The following steps must be car-
ried out before servicing the heater: turn the
heater off, following the instructions in the
previous section; disconnect the plug from
the power supply and wait for the
heater to cool.
