THEORY OF
OPERATION
The Fuel System:
The air pump forces air through the air line. The air is then
pushed through the burner head nozzle. This air causes fuel to lift from the tank. A
fine mist of fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber.
The Air System:
The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around
the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.
The Ignition System:
The electronic ignitor sends voltage to the spark plug.
The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
The Flame-Out Control System:
This system causes the heater to shut down
if the flame goes out.

WARNING
Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire or
explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners,
alcohol or other highly flammable fuels.
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels
will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle
• carbon build up on spark plug
• use of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT:
Use a KEROSENE ONLY container. Be sure storage container is
clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the flame-out control to
shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system often.
