THEORY OF | The Fuel System: The air pump forces air through the air line. The air is then |
OPERATION | pushed through the burner head nozzle. This air causes fuel to lift from the tank. |
A fine mist of fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber. | |
| The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pushes air into and around |
| the combustion chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air. |
| The Ignition System: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to the spark plug. |
| The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture. |

FUELS | ! WARNING |
|
Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol, or other highly flammable 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
•the need of
IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage 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 require you to clean fuel system often.
