OPERATION

To Start Heater WARNING

Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use gasoline, crankcase drainings, naph- tha, paint thinners, alcohol, or other highly flammable fuels.

Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil. Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 diesel. The use of heavy fuels will result in:

clogging of fuel filter and nozzle

carbon build up on spark plug

the need of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather

Do not use No. 3 fuel oil or heavy oils such as crankcase drainings. These heavy oils will not ignite properly and will contaminate the heater.

IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage container. Be sure storage container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt or water will cause the heater’s safety control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require heater’s fuel system to be frequently cleaned.

The minimum ventilation requirements must be followed to avoid risks associated with carbon monoxide poisoning. Make certain these requirements are met prior to operating heater.
