OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE
®
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 107 psi (7.5 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.
