TO STOP HEATER
CAUTION: Never unplug
heater while heater is running.
Heater must go through purge
cycle. The purge cycle cools the
combustion chamber. Damage
to heater can occur if combus-
tion chamber is not cooled. Do
not restart heater until purge
cycle is complete.
1. Turn thermostat dial to lowest temperature
setting. This will cause heater flame to go
out. The motor will continue to run during the
purge cycle. This allows the fan to cool the
combustion chamber. When the purge cycle
is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug
heater until purge cycle is finished.
2. Unplug extension cord from outlet.
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 matches thermostat setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
CAUTION: Do not restart
heater until purge cycle is fin-
ished. The purge cycle cools the
combustion chamber.
1. Wait until purge cycle is finished after stopping
heater.
2. Repeat steps under
To Start Heater
, page 4.
STORING,
TRANSPORTING OF
SHIPPING
Note:
If shipping transport companies require fuel
tanks to be empty.

(see
Fuel Filters
, page 12).
2. Clean and flush fuel filter in fuel pump if
equipped (see
Fuel Filters
, page 12).
3. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.
4. Replace drain plug.
5. If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2
quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir and drain
again. This will prevent excess debris from
clogging filters during future use.

pose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local
automotive service stations that recycle oil.
7. Add two gallons (350,000 Btu/Hr) or three
gallons (600,000 Btu/Hr) of clean kerosene,
#1#2 diesel/fuel oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels to
fuel tank.
8. Replace fuel cap.

Do not store kerosene over summer
months for use during next heating season. Using
old fuel could damage heater.
