This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is primarily
intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired means that all of the
combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This
appliance is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but does produce
small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to
DANGER death!
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure
to provide proper ventilation according to this manual can result in
death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu.
Symptoms of improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a
rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or
#2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air
ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be
added to the heated space. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in
more periodic maintenance.
Risk of indoor air pollution!
WARNING
- Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at least a
three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every
100,000 BTU/hr of heater rating.
- People with breathing problems should consult a physician
before using the heater.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your
heater may not be working properly.
- Get fresh air at once! Have the heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems,
anemia, or those under the influence of alcohol, or at high
altitudes.
Risk of burns / fire / explosion!
WARNING
- NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners, or
other oil compounds in this heater (RISK OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION).

THE SAFETY SYSTEM
KEROSENE (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a
rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or
#2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air
ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be
added to the heated space.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is
clearly marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red
container. Red containers are associated with gasoline.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be
stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area.
- NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas,
camp stove fuel, paint thinners or other oil compounds in this
heater (THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION).
- NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of
heat.
- NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to
the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time. OLD KEROSENE
WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a
Temperature Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should
the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device
activates and turns your heater off, it may require service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will
be ale to start your heater.
Electrical System Protection: This heater’s electrical system is
protected by a fuse that protects it and other electrical components from damage. Fuse is located inside of an in-line “FUSE
BARREL”. If your heater fails to operate, check this fuse first and
replace as needed. Refer to Specification Chart on page 4.
Flame-Out Sensor: Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in
burn chamber during normal operation. It will cause the heater to
shut off should the burner flame extinguish.
FUELING YOUR HEATER
NEVER fill the heater fuel tank in the living space: fill the tank
outdoors.
Do not overfill your heater and be sure heater is leveled.
IMPORTANT: REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER. The
first time you light the heater, it should be done OUTDOORS. This
allows the oils, etc. used in manufacturing the heater to burn off
outside.

OVERVIEW OF HEATER DESIGN
Fuel System: This heater is equipped with an
electric magnet pump that forces fuel through
the fuel line connected to the fuel intake, and
then through a nozzle in the burner head. This
fuel is then sprayed into the combustion
chamber in a fine mist.
“SureFire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor
sends voltage to a specially designed spark
plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and air
mixture.

AIR BLEED DIRECTIONS
If your heater fails to ignite, having air trapped in the fuel pump
may be the cause. Air in the fuel pump will cause ignition failure
and is often accompanied by a loud "grinding" or vibrating sound
being made by the fuel pump. This heater is designed to easily
remove any air in the fuel pump by simply following the Air
Bleeding Procedure below:
1. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.Turn the Air Vent
Screw 3 full turns counterclockwise from the factory closed /
fully clockwise position. (This will allow air to escape during
operation). See Figure 14.
2 Start the ignition sequence by following the standard ignition
procedures outlined on page 6.
4. Adjust pump pressure by turning pressure adjusting screw. See
Figure 13.
5. Turn pressure adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure.
6. Turn pressure adjusting screw counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
7. Set pump pressure to 125 PSI (+/- 6PSI).
We recommend pump pressure adjusting is not needed
if red markings on pump body and pressure adjusting
screw are aligned with each other.

3. Allow the heater to attempt ignition for 3-5 seconds, during
which time you may hear a loud "grinding" or vibration sound.
4. If your heater has not ignited, re-start the ignition sequence.
Once the heater has ignited, turn the Air Vent Screw clockwise
until fully hand-tightened. See Figure 15.
Any air trapped in the fuel pump will have been purged.
5. Your heater is now ready for operation.
6. Re-fill your heater with fuel before it runs out. This will prevent
the fuel lines and fuel pump from drawing in air and having to
go through the air bleeding procedure again.
