STORING, TRANSPORTING, OR SHIP- PING
NOTE: If shipping, transport companies require fuel tanks to be empty.
1. Drain fuel tank.
NOTE: This model has a drain plug on underside of fuel tank. Remove drain plug to drain all fuel. Be sure all fuel is removed.
2.Replace drain plug.
3.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.
4.Replace fuel cap and drain plug. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local automotive service stations that recycle oil.
5.If storing, store heater in dry place. 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.
Preventative Maintenance Schedule
Never service heater while it is plugged in, operating, or hot. Severe burns and electrical shock can occur.
