Maintenance (Continued)
NOZZLES:
Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least once per
heating season. Contaminated fuel could make this
necessary immediately
.
To clean dirt from nozzle, blow
compressed air through nozzle front. It may be necessary to
soak nozzle in clean 1-K kerosene to help loosen any
particles.
NOTE: Use of diesel may require additional maintenance.
Using this heater without proper maintenance or with
contaminated or old fuel may lead to improper combustion
and possible soot production.

SPARK PLUG:
Clean and re-gap every 600 hours of operation, or replace as
needed. After removing the Spark Plug, clean the terminals
with a wire brush. Re-gap the terminals to 3.5mm. see
Figure 8.
PHOTOCELL:
The Photocell should be cleaned at least once per heating
season or more depending on conditions.
Use a cotton swap dipped in water or alcohol to clean the
lens of the Photocell. Note the proper Photocell position as
noted in Figure 9
The Fuel Filter should be cleaned at least twice per heating
season by rinsing it in clean 1-K kerosene. Contaminated fuel
could make this necessary immediately (See Figure 10).
Use of diesel may require additional maintenance.
Improper maintenance can lead to poor combustion
and soot production.
