SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s

manual carefully and completely

before trying to assemble, op-

erate, or service this heater.

Improper use of this heater can

cause serious injury or death

from burns, ﬁre, explosion,

electrical shock, and carbon

monoxide poisoning.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-

semble the ﬂu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or

nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not

be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have

heater serviced. Some people (such as pregnant

women, persons with heart or lung disease, persons

with anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol,

and those at high altitudes) are more affected by

carbon monoxide than others.

1. Use only kerosene, #1/#2 diesel/fuel oil, JET A

or JP-8 fuels to avoid risk of ﬁre or explosion.

Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners,

alcohol, or other highly ﬂammable fuels.

2. Use only with the electrical voltage and fre

-

quency speciﬁed on model plate.

3. Heater must be grounded. Use only a properly

grounded three-wire extension cord. Plug into

grounded outlet only.

4. Use only in areas free of ﬂammable vapors or

high dust content.

5. Minimum clearance from any combustible

materials: 8 feet (244 cm) from hot air outlet;

6 feet (183 cm) from top; and 2 feet (61 cm)

from sides and inlet.

6. Locate heater on a stable and level surface

while hot or operating or a ﬁre may occur.

7. Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide venti

-

lation of at least three square feet (2,800 square

cm) for each 100,000 Btu/Hr of rating.

8. Keep children and animals away from heater

at all times.

9. Never start heater when combustion chamber

is hot or if fuel has accumulated in combus

-

tion chamber.

10. When used with a thermostat, heater may start

at anytime.

11. When heater is moved or stored, it must be in

a level position or fuel spillage may occur.

12. Use heater only in accordance with local

ordinances and codes.

13. Never use gasoline, crankcase drainings,

naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol, or other

highly ﬂammable fuels.

14. Never use heater where gasoline, paint thin

-

ner, or other highly ﬂammable vapors are

present.

15. Never use heater in living or sleeping areas.

16. Never leave a heater plugged in without adult

supervision if children or animals are likely to

be present.

17. Never move, handle, refuel, or service a hot,

operating, or plugged-in heater.

18. Never block air inlet at motor end (rear) of

heater.

19. Never attach duct work to front of heater.

20. Never attach heater to external fuel tank.

UNPACKING

1. Remove all protective packaging that has been

applied to heater for shipment

2. Remove heater from carton.

3. Check heater for any shipping damage. If dam

-

age is found, promptly inform dealer where

heater was purchased.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Fuel System: The air pump forces air through

the air line. The air is then pushed through the

nozzle. This air causes fuel to be lifted from the

tank. A ﬁne mist of fuel is sprayed into the com-

bustion 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 control assembly provides power to

the ignitor. This ignites the fuel/air mixture in the

combustion chamber.

The Flame-Out Control System: This system causes

the heater to shut down if the ﬂame goes out.

FUELS

WARNING: Use only kero-

sene, #1/#2 diesel/fuel oil, JET

A or JP-8 fuels to avoid risk

of ﬁre or explosion. Never

use gasoline, oil drained from

crankcases, naphtha, paint

thinners, alcohol or other highly

ﬂammable fuels.

Use only kerosene, #1/#2 diesel/fuel oil, JET A

or JP-8 fuels. Heavier fuels such as No. 2 fuel

oil or No. 2 diesel fuel may also be used but will

result in:

• noticeable odor

• additional fuel ﬁlter maintenance

• the need for nontoxic, anti-icer additives in very

cold weather

Do not use fuels heavier than No. 2 grade or

heavy oils such as oil drained from crankcases.

These heavy oils will not ignite properly and will

contaminate the heater.

IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY (blue)

or DIESEL ONLY (yellow) storage container. Be

sure storage container is clean. Foreign matter

such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the ignition

control assembly to shut down heater. Foreign

matter may also require heater's fuel system to be

frequently cleaned.

VENTILATION

WARNING: Provide a fresh air

opening of at least three square

feet (2,800 square cm) for each

100,000 Btu/Hr rating. Provide

extra fresh air if more heaters

are being used. The minimum

ventilation requirements must

be followed to avoid risks as-

sociated with carbon monoxide

poisoning. Make certain these

requirements are met prior to

operating heater.

Example: A 165 model heater requires one of

the following:

• a two-car garage door (16 ft. [4.88 m] wide

opening) raised four inches (10.16 cm)

• a single-car garage door (9 ft. [2.74 m] wide

opening) raised seven inches (17.78 cm)

• two, thirty-inch (76.20 cm) windows raised

twelve inches (30.48 cm)

OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Review and under-

stand the warnings in the Safety

Information section, page 2.

They are needed to safely oper

-

ate this heater. Follow all local

ordinances and codes when

using this heater.

TO START HEATER

1. Follow all ventilation and safety informa-

tion.

2. Fill fuel tank with kerosene, #1/#2 diesel/fuel

oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels.

3. Attach fuel cap.

4. For thermostat models 55T, 70T, 115T, and

165T, turn thermostat knob clockwise to the

high position.

5. Plug heaterʼs power cord into approved,

grounded, three-wire extension cord. Extension

cord must be at least six feet (1.8 meters) long.

Extension Cord Size Requirement

6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) long, use 18 AWG

(0.75 mm2) rated cord

11 to 100 feet (3.3 to 30.5 meters) long, use

16 AWG (1.0 mm2) rated cord

101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use

14 AWG (1.5 mm2) rated cord

6.

Plug extension cord into standard 120 volt/60

hertz, 3-prong grounded outlet. Note: Ignitor will

preheat for ﬁve seconds, then heater will start.

7. For thermostat models 55T, 70T, 115T, and

165T, adjust thermostat knob to the desired

setting. Note: A cold heater may affect

the thermostat setting. This thermostat is a

general-heating control. It is not intended for

precise temperature control. Adjust thermostat

until heater cycles at the desired setting.

TO STOP HEATER

Unplug extension cord from outlet.

TO RESTART HEATER

1. Unplug extension cord from outlet and wait

10 seconds. (Wait two minutes if heater has

been running.)

2. Repeat steps under To Start Heater

STORING, TRANSPORTING,

OR SHIPPING

Note: If shipping, transport companies require

fuel tanks to be empty.

1. Drain fuel tank.

Note: Some models have drain plug on un-

derside of fuel tank. If so, remove drain plug

to drain all fuel. If heater does not have drain

plug, drain fuel through fuel cap opening. Be

sure all fuel is removed.

2. Replace drain plug if provided.

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 or drain plug. Properly dis

-

pose 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.

is .003"/.004" (.076-.101 mm) at tightest position.

Adjust if needed.

10. Install blades, pump plate, air ﬁlters, and ﬁlter

end cover.

11. Replace fan guard and upper shell (see
