TO STOP HEATER
CAUTION: Never unplug heater while heater is running. Heater must go through purge cycle. The purge cycle cools the combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until purge cycle is complete.
1.Turn thermostat dial to lowest temperature setting. This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during the purge cycle. This allows the fan to cool the com- bustion chamber. When the purge cycle is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug heater until purge cycle is finished.
2.Unplug extension cord from outlet.
3.To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature lower than air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air tem- perature around heater matches thermostat setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
CAUTION: Do not restart heater until purge cycle is fi nished. The purge cycle cools the combustion chamber.
1.Wait until purge cycle is finished after stopping heater.
2.Repeat steps under To Start Heater, page 4.
STORING, TRANSPORTING, OR 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 11).
2.Clean and flush fuel filter in fuel pump if equipped (see Fuel Filters, page 11).
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 ex- cess debris from clogging filters during future use.
6.Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dispose 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 No. 1 fuel oil to fuel tank.
8.Replace fuel cap.
9.Operate heater for 5 minutes (see Operation, page 4).
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 appli- ance 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 manufac- turer 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 automatic 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, pages 4 and 5, for starting, stopping, and resetting heater procedures.
