MAINTENANCE
Long Term Storage:
1. Unscrew the fuel cap.
2. Using an approved siphon, remove the
Kerosene or diesel.
3. Using a small amount of Kerosene or diesel,
rinse and swirl the fuel inside the fuel tank
NOTE: NEVER MIX WATER WITH FUEL. It will
cause rust inside the tank.
4. Empty the tank completely.
IMPORTANT: Never store leftover Kerosene
between seasons, using old fuel can
damage heater.
Store Heater in a dry, well ventilated area.
-
Be sure that the storage area is free of dust
and corrosive vapors. Repack the heater
in the original packaging and keep user’s
manual in an easily accessible place.
Service:
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE AN
EXPERIENCED SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS.
We suggest following a maintenance schedule
as follows:
FUEL / FUEL TANK:
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as
needed. DO NOT flush with water, use fresh
Kerosene only.
SPARK PLUG:
Clean and re-gap every 600 hours of operation
or replace as needed. After removing the Spark
Plug, clean the terminals with a wire brush.
Re-gap the terminals to 0.140” (3.5 mm)
(see Figure 12).
FAN BLADES:
The fan blades should be cleaned at least once
per heating season, depending on conditions.
Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a
burst of condensed air (see Figure 13).
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS:
Proper pressure is dependent on the fuel type
the unit will be running. When smoking or non-
ignition occurs, remove the lower panel. Locate
the Phillips screw with a nut on the fuel pump to
the left of the fuel line. There is a small “P” next
to the pressure screw. The ideal pressure is 112
psi (7.9 kg/cm
2
).
If you are experiencing smoking or fuel
dripping from the unit
, turn the screw
clockwise 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn to increase the
fuel pressure until the unit is operating properly.
If you are experiencing extended flames from
the front of the unit
, turn the screw 1/8 to 1/4
of a turn counterclockwise to reduce the air
pressure until the unit is operating properly.
TIP: Follow the long term storage
instructions to flush the tank.
