FUELS

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
