IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully

and completely before trying to assemble, operate, or

service this heater. Improper use of this heater can

cause serious injury or death from burns, ﬁre, explo-

sion, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide

poisoning.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble 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.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this

manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation

of this heater.

WARNINGS

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead

to death!

SAFETY INFORMATION

• 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.

• Use only with the electrical voltage and frequency specified on

model plate.

• Heater must be grounded. Use only a properly grounded three-

wire extension cord. Plug into grounded outlet only.

• Use only in areas free of flammable vapors or high dust content.

• 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.

• Locate heater on a stable and level surface while hot or operat-

ing or a fire may occur.

• Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide ventilation of at least

three square feet (2,800 square cm) for each 100,000 Btu/Hr of

rating.

• Keep children and animals away from heater at all times.

• Never start heater when combustion chamber is hot or if fuel

has accumulated in combustion chamber.

• When used with a thermostat, heater may start at anytime.

• When heater is moved or stored, it must be in a level position or

fuel spillage may occur.

• Use heater only in accordance with local ordinances and codes.

• Never use gasoline, crankcase drainings, naphtha, paint thinners,

alcohol, or other highly flammable fuels.

• Never use heater where gasoline, paint thinner, or other highly

flammable vapors are present.

• Never use heater in living or sleeping areas.

• Never leave a heater plugged in without adult supervision if

children or animals are likely to be present.

• Never move, handle, refuel, or service a hot, operating, or

plugged-in heater.

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

• Never attach duct work to front of heater.

• Never attach heater to external fuel tank.

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 combustion

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 System: The ignition control assembly provides

power to the ignitor. This ignites the fuel/air mixture in the combus-

tion chamber.

The Flame-Out Control System: This system causes the heater to

shut down if the flame goes out.

Figure 6 - Cross Section Operational View

(FOR 115T AND 165T MODELS ONLY)

These models are furnished with wheels and a front handle. Some

models are furnished with a rear handle also. Wheels, handle(s), and

the mounting hardware is found in the shipping carton.

Tools Needed

• Medium Phillips Screwdriver

• 3/8" Open or Adjustable Wrench

• Hammer

1. Slide axle through wheel support frame. Install wheels on axle.

IMPORTANT:

Place extended hub of wheel toward wheel

support frame.

2. Place cap nuts on axle ends. Gently tap with hammer to se-

cure.

3. Place heater on wheel support frame assembly. Make sure air

inlet end of heater is over wheels.

4. Place front handle on top of fuel tank flange. Insert screws

through handle(s), fuel tank flange and wheel support frame.

Attach nut finger tight after each screw is inserted.

5. Tighten all nuts firmly.

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)

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 require-

ments must be followed to avoid risks associated

with carbon monoxide poisoning. Make certain these

requirements are met prior to operating heater.

VENTILATION

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. For-

eign 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.

WARNING: Use only kerosene, #1/#2 diesel/fuel

oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels to avoid risk of ﬁre or explo-

sion. Never use gasoline, oil drained from crank-

cases, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol or other highly

ﬂammable fuels.

TO START HEATER

1. Follow all ventilation and safety information.

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 ther-

mostat knob clockwise to the high position.

5. Plug heater’s 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 mm

2

)

rated cord

11 to 100 feet (3.3 to 30.5 meters) long, use 16 AWG (1.0

mm

2

) rated cord

101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use 14 AWG (1.5

mm

2

) 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 ther-

mostat knob to the desired setting.

Note:

A cold heater may

affect the thermostat setting. This thermostat is a general-heat-

ing 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.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Review and understand the warnings

in the

section. They are needed to

safely operate this heater. Follow all local ordinances

and codes when using this 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 underside 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 ex-

cess debris from clogging filters during future use.

WARNING: To avoid risk of burn and electrical

shock, never attempt to service heater while it is

plugged in, operating, or hot.
