Operation

KEROSENE (1-K)

For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kero sene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate con tami nants, such as sulfur, which can cause a
rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or
#2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not

available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air
ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be
added to the heated space.

NOTE:

Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is

clearly marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red
container. Red containers are associated with gasoline.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be

stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area.

- NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas,

camp stove fuel, paint thinners or other oil compounds in this
heater (THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION).

- NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of

heat.

- NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to

the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time. OLD KEROSENE
WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

- Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a

suitable substitute.

OVERVIEW OF HEATER DESIGN
Fuel System:

This heater is equipped with an

electric magnet pump that forces fuel through
the fuel line connected to the fuel intake, and
then through a nozzle in the burner head. This
fuel is then sprayed into the combustion
chamber in a fine mist.

“SureFire Ignition”:

The electronic ignitor

sends voltage to a specially designed spark

plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and air
mixture.

The Air System:

The heavy duty motor turns a

fan that forces air into and around the combus-
tion chamber. Here, the air is heated and then
forced out the front of the heater.

THE SAFETY SYSTEM
Temperature Limit Control:

This heater is equipped with a

Tempera ture Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should
the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device
activates and turns your heater off, it may require service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will
be ale to start your heater.

Electrical System Protection:

This heater’s electrical system is

protected by a fuse that protects it and other electrical compo-
nents from damage. Fuse is located inside of an in-line “FUSE
BARREL”. If your heater fails to operate, check this fuse first and

replace as needed. Refer to Specification Chart on page 4.

Flame-Out Sensor:

Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in

burn chamber during normal operation. It will cause the heater to
shut off should the burner flame extinguish.

FUELING YOUR HEATER

NEVER fill the heater fuel tank in the living space: fill the tank

outdoors.

Do not overfill your heater and be sure heater is leveled.

IMPORTANT:

REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER. The

first time you light the heater, it should be done OUTDOORS. This
allows the oils, etc. used in manufacturing the heater to burn off
outside.
