5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL HEATER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate heaters in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Heaters create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a heater. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Heaters plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) heaters. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose heaters to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a heater will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the heater. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a heater outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a heater in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a heater. Do not use a
heater while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating heaters may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power
source.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the heater on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the heater may result in personal injury.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can get sucked into the in moving parts of the heater.
4) Heater use and care
DO NOT move the heater when it is in operation or when plugged into the mains supply. Only move heater
once it has cooled and it has been unplugged.
a) Use the correct heater for your application. The correct heater will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the heater if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any heater that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the heater accidentally.
d) Store idle heater out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the heater or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Heaters are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain heaters. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the heaters operation. If damaged, have the heater repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained heaters.
g) Use the heater, in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the heater for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your heater serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the heater is maintained.

8. PREPARING THE HEATER
8.4 FUELS
Use only standard Diesel or Kerosene heater oil according to EN 267.
WARNING: Never use petrol, oil, used oils, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol or other highly
flammable fuels. Using incorrect fuel may cause danger of explosion and death.
IMPORTANT: Be sure fuel tank 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.
WARNING: Do not fill the fuel tank while the heater is running.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a black container that is clearly marked "kerosene".
Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated with petrol.
- 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 petrol, 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.

9.2 TO SHUT DOWN HEATER
Turn power switch to "OFF" and unplug power cable.
9.3 TO RESTART HEATER
i. Wait 10 seconds after stopping heater.
ii. Repeat steps under, "TO START HEATER."
9.4 FUEL SYSTEM
This heater is equipped with an electric air pump that forces air through the air line
connected to the fuel intake, and then through a nozzle in the burner head. When air passes
in front of the fuel intake, it causes fuel to rise from the tank and into the burner nozzle.
This fuel and air mixture is then sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially designed spark plug. The spark plug ignites
the fuel and air mixture described.
The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the combustion chamber.
Here, the air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.
9.5 THE SAFETY SYSTEM
Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control
designed to turn the heater off should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this
device activates and turns your heater off, it may require service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will be able to start your
heater.
Electrical System Protection: This heater's electrical system is protected by a fuse mounted to
the PCB Assembly that protects it and other electrical components from damage. If your
heater fails to operate, have this fuse checked first and replace as needed.
Flame-Out Sensor: Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal
operation. It will cause the heater to shut off should the burner flame extinguish.
13

9. OPERATING THE HEATER
9.6 STORING, TRANSPORTING OR SHIPPING
CAUTION: Fuel tank MUST be empty before shipping or transportation.
9.7 DRAINING THE FUEL TANK:
Underneath the fuel tank is the drain plug , place a suitable size container under drain
plug, remove drain plug to drain all fuel. Be sure all fuel is removed. To assist the removal of
fuel - remove the fuel cap .
If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 litres of clean fuel into tank, wash around and
drain again. This will prevent excess debris from clogging the filters during future use.
Replace fuel cap and drain plug. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel in line with local
disposal regulations.
DO NOT dispose of old fuel into a main drains - this is illegal.
Before storing, drain the fuel tank empty and clean the heater as described in the
maintenance section. Store the heater in a dry place away from children. Make sure the
storage place is free of dust and corrosive fumes.
