Before First Use
Some assembly is required before using the Dragon.
See “Assembly Instructions,” p. 8.
Use of the Dragon with an external fuel tank (sold
separately) can significantly extend the run time.
Converting the Dragon for use with an external tank
requires a one-time modification of the external fuel line
connections. See “Modifying the Dragon for use with the
External Fuel Pick-up,” p. 7 for instructions.
Choosing a location
WARNING! Use the Dragon outdoors only. Place the
unit on a level, stable surface. Be sure to chock the
trailer wheels securely to prevent the unit from
rolling. Choose a location away from high-traffic
areas, children and pets, and ensure there are no
obstructions to the air intake.
CAUTION:
Keep air intake vents clean and clear of any
obstruction. Avoid setting up unit in a location where the
intake could be blocked or restricted. Blocking the air
intake will cause the unit to
produce sooty exhaust,
potentially damaging the unit and the structure being
heated.
NOTICE: Install and operate the Dragon in accordance
with all local and regional regulations. In Canada, refer
to CSA B139 and CSA B140-1962.
Fill the fuel tank
The Dragon is shipped with the fuel tank empty. Before
operating, fill the tank with no. 2 diesel or fuel oil. In cold
conditions, a diesel-kerosene mixture as described on
p. 2 may be used. The tank has a 13.5 gal. (51 L)
maximum capacity. Do not overfill.
CAUTION:
Do not put gasoline, motor oil, or any other
product in the fuel tank.
CAUTION:
Do not fill the tank while the unit is operating.
