NOTICE

• The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a 

circuit breaker (fuse) mounted to the power switch. If your heater fails 

to start, check this first and replace as necessary. You should also 

check your power source to insure that proper voltage and frequency 

are being supplied to the heater.

• When using diesel fuel in cold ambient temperatures (below 35° F) 

fuel additives will be required to prevent the diesel fuel from “jelling”. 

Follow the mixing instructions provided by the diesel additive supplier 

for the correct additive/fuel ratio.

Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the

chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is 

complete.

The motor will continue to run during The cooling cycle. This allows 

the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle 

(approx. 2 minutes) is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug 

heater until cooling cycle is finished.

2. Disconnect heater from power source.

3. To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature lower than 

air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air temperature around 

heater is lower than thermostat setting.
