Maintenance (Continued)
Fan Blades -
Never service heater while hot or still
connected to electrical source. The fan
blades should be cleaned at least once per heating
season, depending on conditions.
-
Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a burst of
condensed air (
Figure 7
).
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 (
Figure
8
).
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 0.140” (3.5mm).
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 10
.
Fuel/Fuel Tank
- Flush every 200 hours of operation or as
needed. Do not use water to flush the tank. Use fresh
1-K kerosene only.
Long Term Storage
-
Unscrew the Fuel Cap.
-
Using an approved kerosene siphon, remove kerosene.
-
Using a small amount of kerosene, rinse and swirl the
kerosene inside of the Fuel Tank. Empty the tank fully.
-
NEVER MIX WATER WITH KEROSENE, as it will cause
rust inside the tank.
-
Empty tank completely.
Never store leftover kerosene over the summer. Using
old fuel can damage your heater.
Store heater in a dry, well-ventilated area
-
Be sure that the storage area is free of dust and
corrosive vapors. Repack the heater in the original
shipping material. Keep the User’s Manual in an easily
accessible place.
