PORTABLE FORCED AIR HEATERS
R
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
• use of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during
very cold weather
IMPORTANT:
Use a KEROSENE ONLY
container. Be sure storage container is clean.
Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water
will cause the flame-out control to shut
down heater. Foreign matter may also re-
quire you to clean fuel system often.
WARNING: Use only kerosene
or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire
or explosion. Never use gaso-
line, naphtha, paint thinners, al-
cohol or other highly flammable
fuels.
