STORING, TRANSPORTING OF SHIPPING

Note: If shipping transport companies require fuel tanks to be empty.

1.Drain all fuel from fuel lines and pump/filter (see Fuel Filters, page 14).

2.Clean and flush fuel filter in fuel pump if equipped (see Fuel Filters, page 14).

3.Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.

4.Replace drain plug.

5.If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir and drain again. This will prevent excess debris from clogging filters during future use.

6.Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dis- pose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local automotive service stations that recycle oil.

7.Add two gallons (350,000 Btu/Hr) or three gallons (600,000 Btu/Hr) of clean kerosene or #1 fuel oil to fuel tank.

8.Replace fuel cap.

9.Operate heater for 5 minutes (see Operation, page 5).

10.Stop heater and let cool completely.

11.Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.

12.Replace drain plug.

13.Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel.

14.If storing, store heater in a dry location. Make sure storage place is free of dust and corrosive fumes.

IMPORTANT: Do not store kerosene over summer months for use during next heating season. Using old fuel could damage heater.

OPERATION WITH

PORTABLE GENERATOR

WARNING: Before operating

heater or any appliance from a

portable generator, verify that

generator has been properly

connected to earth ground. Im-

proper grounding or failure to

ground generator can result in

electrocution if a ground fault

occurs. Refer to owner’s manual

supplied by generator manu-

facturer for proper grounding

procedures.

 

The operating voltage range of the heater is 108 to

132 Volts (120 Volts +/- 10%). Prior to plugging

heater into generator the output voltage should

be verified (if generator is equipped with the au-

tomatic idle feature, the output voltage should be

measured with the generator running at full speed).

If the voltage does not measure in this range the

heater should not be plugged into the generator.

Refer to Operation, page 5, for starting, stopping

and resetting heater procedures.
