SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Recommended for use with No.1-K kerosene No.1 Diesel fuel. Fac-
tory tested for use with No.2-K kerosene, No.1 or No.2 Diesel,No.1
or No.2 fuel oil or JP8 Jet A fuel and these fuels may be used as well.
Never use gasoline, oil drained from crank cases, naphtha, paint

2. Check the heater thoroughly for damage. Do not operate a damaged
heater.
3. Do not modify the heater or operate a heater which has been modified
from its original condition.
4. For indoor use only. Not for use where exposed to weather.
5. Use in well ventilated areas, provide at least 2 sq. ft. (0.19sq. m.) of
opening near the floor and 2 sq. ft. (0.19 sq. m.)near the ceiling di-
rectly to outdoors. Increase air openings as marked for each additional
heater.
6. Always keep combustibles, like paper and wood at least 2.4 m from
the heater outlet and 1.2 m from the top, sides and inlet. Locate 1.2m
from canvas or plastic coverings and secure them to prevent flapping
movement.
7. Caution: Due to the high surface and exhaust temperatures, adults and
children must observe clearances to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Do Not Touch. Keep children, clothing, and combustible away.
8. Install the heater such that it is not directly exposed to water spray, rain
and / or water.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
This is a oil/kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It’s intended use is
primarily temporary heating of buildings under construction, alteration or
repair.
Direct-Fired means that all of the combustion products enter the
heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100
percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic. CO can build up in a
heated space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
death.
The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
• headache
• dizziness
• burning eyes and nose
• nausea
• dry mouth or sore throat
Be sure to follow advice about ventilation in the Safety Precautions
section.
Forced Air means that a blower or fan pushes the air through the heater.
Proper combustion depends upon this air flow; therefore, the heater
must not be revised, modified or operated with parts removed or missing.
Likewise, safety systems must not be circumvented or modified in order
to operate the heater. When the heater is to be operated in the presence
of other people the user is responsible for properly acquainting those
present with the safety precautions and instructions, and of the hazards
involved.

Operation
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K
kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate
contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor
during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel
fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not available. Be advised that
these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene, and care should be
taken to provide more fresh air ventilation to accommodate any added
contaminants that may be added to the heated space. Using diesel fuel
can cause excess soot production. DO NOT use any fuel that is not
approved above.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly
marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is
associated with gasoline.
• NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be
stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area.
• NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas,
camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil compounds in this heater
(THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION).
• NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
• NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to the
next. Kerosene deteriorates over time. OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT
BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
• Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a suitable substitute.
Fuel System: This heater is equipped with an air pump that
operates off of the electric motor. The pump forces air through the air line
connected to the fuel tank, drawing fuel to the nozzle in the burner head.
Air also passes through the nozzle where it mixes with the fuel and is
sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
Quick-Fire Ignition: A transformer sends high voltage to a two pronged
spark plug. The spark ignites the fuel/air mixture as it is sprayed into the
combustion chamber.
Air System: A fan is turned by the heavy duty motor, which
forces air around and into the combustion chamber, where it is super-
heated and forced out the front of the chamber.
