FUELS
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 diesel. Using heavy fuels
will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle
• carbon build-up on spark plug
• the need of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT:
Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage container. Be sure storage
container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause flame-out
control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require fuel system to be
cleaned frequently.
WARNING
Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire or
explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol,
or other highly flammable fuels.
WARNING
Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation requirements.
If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon
monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air
ventilation before running heater.
