Storage
Store the heater in a dry location free from fumes or dust.
At the end of each heating season, clean the heater as described in the MAINTE-
NANCE section. Drain and flush the fuel tank with clean fuel. The manufacturer
recommends completely filling the tank with fuel for extended storage to minimize
condensation inside the tank.
It is recommended to only store diesel in containers that are marked “DIESEL”.
Servicing
WARNING:
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that has been
modified or is not functioning properly.
When the heater is working normally:
* The flame is contained within the heater.
* The flame is essentially yellow.
* There is no strong disagreeable odour, eye burning or other physical discomfort.
* There is not smoke or soot internal or external to the heater.
* There are no unplanned or unexplained shutdowns of the heater.
Troubleshooting
High limit switch open circuit
1. Make sure heater is cooled off, toggle switch to “OFF” position, wait 5 minutes and retry.
Sparks, calling for flame, but no or slow motor operation
1. Check wiring to motor (per wiring schematic in manual)
2. Make sure that the pressure gauge is in place and not damaged
3. Adjust pressure for proper heater operation per manual
4. With heater disconnected from AC source, rotate fan clockwise to verify motor is free
5. Remove air filter housing from motor and inspect the pump rotor for damage. If damaged,
replace rotor assembly.
6. If wiring is correct, pump rotor is okay, and motor is not rotating freely, replace motor or
power-pack assembly.
7. If problem persists, replace oil flame control assembly.
8. Check for spark arcing from the electrode assembly, to the combustion cylinder.
9. Check the cad cell for continuity.
No Spark
1. Check length and gauge of extension cord for proper amp. draw (check page 5)
2. Check wiring to igniter (per wiring schematic in manual)
3. Check gap between electrode probes (2.3 - 3mm)
4. Still no spark, replace igniter assembly
5. Replace oil flame control assembly
Abnormal Motor Operation - Motor overheats or Stops
1. Motor speed too low (Motor should operate at 3450 rpm) - Replace motor
2. With heater disconnected from AC source, rotate fan clockwise to verify motor is free
3. Remove air filter housing from motor and inspect the pump rotor for damage. If damaged,
replace rotor assembly
4. If wiring is correct, pump rotor is okay, and motor is not rotating freely, replace motor or
power-pack assembly
5. Replace oil flame control assembly
Unable to Detect Flame
1. Check wiring to cad cell (per wiring schematic in manual)
2. Clean cad cell photo cell
a) Slide cad cell out of cad cell holder
b) Push the photo cell out of the black rubber cad cell housing by pushing on the 2 purple
wires
c) Clean the photo cell with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol
d) Pull the photo cell back into the cad cell housing and reinstall into holder
e) Test heater
3. If the heater still does not operate, replace cad cell
4. Replace oil flame control assembly
Flame Control Failure
1. Check wiring in heater (per wiring schematic in manual).
2. Replace oil flame control assembly.
