INFORMATION
WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: Read this Owner’s
Manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, oper-
ate, or service this heater. Im-
proper use of this heater can
causeseriousinjuryordeathfrom
burns, fire, explosion, electrical
shock, and carbon monoxide
poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs
ofcarbonmonoxidepoisoningresemblethe
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the heater may
not be working properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others.Theseincludepregnantwomen,per-
sons with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings.Keepthismanualforreference.It
isyourguidetosafeandproperoperationof
this heater.
• Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to
avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use
gasoline,naphtha, paintthinners, alcohol,
or other highly flammable fuels.
• Fueling
a) Personnel involved with fueling shall
be qualified and thoroughly familiar
with the manufacturer's instructions
and applicable regulations regarding
the safe fueling of heating units.
b) Only the type of fuel specified on the
heater's data plate shall be used.
c) All flame, including the pilot light, if
any, shall be extinguished and the
heater allowed to cool, prior to
fueling.
d) During fueling,all fuel linesand fuel-
lineconnections shallbe inspectedfor
leaks. Any leaks shall be repaired
priorto returningthe heaterto service.
e) At no time shall more than one day's
supply of heater fuel be stored inside
abuilding in the vicinity of the heater.
Bulk fuel storage shall be outside the
structure.
f) All fuel storage shall be located a
minimum of 762cm (25 feet) from
heaters, torches, welding equipment,
and similar sources of ignition
(exception: the fuel reservoir integral
with the heater unit).
g) Whenever possible, fuel storage shall
be confined to areas where floor
penetrationsdo not permitfuel to drip
onto or be ignited by a fire at lower
elevation.
h) Fuel storage shall be in accordance
withthe authority havingjurisdiction.
• Never use heater where gasoline, paint
thinner,or otherhighly flammablevapors
are present.
• Follow all local ordinances and codes
when using heater.
• Heaters used in the vicinity of tarpaulins,
canvas, or similar enclosure materials
shall be located a safe distance from such
materials. The recommended minimum
safe distance is 304.8cm (10 feet). It is
further recommended that these enclo-
sure materials be of a fire retardant na-
ture. These enclosure materials shall be
securely fastened to prevent them from
igniting or from upsetting the heater due
to wind action.
• Use only in well-vented areas. Before us-
ing heater, provide at least a 2800 square
cm (three-square-foot) opening of fresh,
outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr of
rating.
• Use only in places free of flammable va-
pors or high dust content.
• Use only the electrical voltage and fre-
quency specified on model plate.
• Use only a three-prong, grounded exten-
sion cord.
• Minimum heater clearances from com-
bustibles:
Outlet: 250 cm (8 Ft.)
Sides, Top, and Rear: 125 cm (4 Ft.)
• Locate heater on a stable and level sur-
face if heater is hot or running or a fire
may occur.
• When moving or storing heater, keep
heater in a level position or fuel spillage
may occur.
• Keep children and animals away from
heater.
• Unplug heater when not in use.
• When used with thermostat, heater may
start anytime.
• Never use heater in living or sleeping
areas.
• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet
(front) of heater.
• Never move, handle, refuel, or service a
hot, operating, or plugged-in heater.
• Never attach duct work to front or rear
of heater.

handles.Wheels,handles,andthemounting
hardware are found in the shipping carton.
TOOLS NEEDED
• Medium Phillips Screwdriver
• 3/8" Open orAdjustable Wrench
• Hammer
1. Slide axle through wheel support
frame. Install wheels on axle.
IMPORTANT:
When installing wheels,
point extended hub of wheels toward
wheel support frame (see Figure 3).
2. Place cap nuts on axle ends. Gently tap
with hammer to secure.
3. Place heater on wheel support frame.
For D20N model, make sure outlet end
(front) of heater is over wheels. For
D30Nand D44N models,make sure air
inletend (rear) ofheater is overwheels.
Line up holes on fuel tank flange with
holes on wheel support frame.
4. For D20N model, place rear handle on
top of fuel tank flange. For D30N and
D44N models, place front handle and
rear handle on top of fuel tank flange.
Insert screws through handle(s), fuel

OPERATION
WARNING: Review and un-
derstand the warnings in the
Safety Information
section, page
2. They are needed to safely op-
erate this heater. Follow all local
codes when using this heater.
TO START HEATER
1. Follow all ventilation and safety infor-
mation.
2. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1
fuel oil.
3. Attach fuel cap.
4. Plug powercord of heaterinto standard
230 volt/50 hertz, grounded (earthed)
outlet. Use an extension cord if needed.
Use only a three-prong, grounded
(earthed) extension cord.
Figure 5 - ON/OFF Switch, D20N Model
Figure 6 - ON/OFF Switch, D30N and
D44N Models
THEORY OF
OPERATION
The Fuel System: The air pump forces air
through the air line. The air is then pushed
through the burner head nozzle. This air
causes fuel to lift from the tank. A fine mist
offuelissprayedintothecombustioncham-
ber.
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 com-
bustion chamber.
The Flame-Out Control System: Thissys-
tem causes the heater to shut down if the
flame goes out.
Extension Cord Wire Size
Requirements
Up to 30.5 meters (100 feet) long, use 1.0
mm2 (16 AWG) conductor
30.6to 61 meters(101 to200feet) long,use
1.5 mm2 (14 AWG) conductor
Push ON/OFF switch to ON (|) position and
heater should start in 5 seconds. If ON/OFF
switch light does not come on or heater does
notstart,seeTroubleshooting(pages6and7).
TO STOP HEATER
1. Push ON/OFF switch to OFF (O)
position.
TO RESET HEATER
1. Push ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) posi-
tion and wait 10 seconds (2 minutes if
heater has been running).
2. Repeat steps under To Start Heater.

STORING,
TRANSPORTING,
OR SHIPPING
Note:
If shipping, transport companies re-
quire 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
excess debris from clogging filters dur-
ing future use.
4. Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Prop-
erlydispose ofold anddirty 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.Usingoldfuelcoulddamageheater.
