FUELING THE HEATER
Kerosene: For optimal performance of this heater,
it is strongly suggested that K-1 kerosene be used,
especially in temperatures lower than 26°F. K-1 kerosene
has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants,
such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor
during the operation of the heater. Using diesel fuel can
cause excess soot production.
WARNING! Do not use Bio-Diesel as this fuel will
damage heater's seals and filter. CSA certified
for use with only No. 1 K kerosene fuel. Factory
Tested: Kerosene, Diesel #1 and #2, Fuel oil #1
and #2, JP8 (Jet A fuel).
DANGER! Never refuel this heater while it is hot
or operating. Fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION! Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Always
fill the tank outdoors. Be sure that the heater is
on level ground when fueling, and never overfill
the tank.
WARNING! Do not use gasoline or crankcase
drainings.
• Do not use any fuel that is not approved
above.
• Never use fuel such as 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 a living space.
Kerosene should be stored in a well-
ventilated area outside the living area.
• 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.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue
container that is clearly marked "Kerosene".
Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is
associated with gasoline.
DANGER! Carbon monoxide poisoning may
lead to death.
VENTILATION
• Risk of indoor air pollution and carbon monoxide
poisoning. Use heater only in well-ventilated areas.
• Refer to "Safety" on page 1 for information about
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least 3 sq. ft. for each 100,000 Btu/Hr.
(29 kW) of heater output. Provide a larger opening
if more heaters are being used.
NOTE: Minimum ventilation opening needed
is 2.4 ft

PRE-LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGE THE BATTERY
Ensure battery is fully charged for best run time. Follow
battery manufacturer's instructions for use, charging
and storing. Heater does not charge the battery.
OVER DISCHARGE PROTECTION

STARTING THE HEATER (IGNITION)
1. Fill the tank with kerosene or other approved fuel
until needle on fuel gauge points to "F".
2. Replace fuel cap and tighten firmly.
3. Connect the heater to power source, either
