WARNING
The products described in this manual are
kerosene direct-red, forced air heaters.
Kerosene forced air heaters are primarily
intended for use for temporary heating of
buildings under construction, alteration or repair.
Direct-red means that all of the combustion
products of the heater enter the heated space.
This appliance is rated at 98% combustion
efciency, but does produce small amounts of
carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate
only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so
precautions should be taken to provide proper
ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation in
accordance with the instructions in this manual can
result in death. People with breathing problems
should consult a physician before using this
heater. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the u. Symptoms of improper
ventilation/carbon monoxide poisoning are:
Headache • Dizziness •Nausea • Dry Mouth
Sore Throat •Burning of Nose and Eyes
If you experience any of these symptoms:
GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater
serviced and check for proper ventilation. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include: pregnant women, those with
heart or lung problems, anemia or those under the
inuence of alcohol or at high altitudes.
FOR OUTDOOR USE. INDOOR USE
PERMITTED ONLY FOR: The temporary
heating of adequately ventilated buildings
or structures under construction, alteration
or repair. Provide at least a three square
foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for

Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene (K-1)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that K-1 kerosene be used,
especially in temperatures lower than 26°F
(-3°C). K-1 kerosene has been rened to virtually
eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can
cause a rotten egg odor during the operation
of the heater. Using diesel fuel can cause excess
soot production. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this
fuel will damage your heater’s seals and lter.
- CSA certified for use with K-1 kerosene, no.
1 & no. 2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel, no. 1 and no.
2 fuel oil.
DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved
above.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white
glass, 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 the living space. Kerosene
should be stored in a well ventilated area outside
the living area.
- 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.
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.
Ventilation:
- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning. Use heater only in well
ventilated areas.
- Refer to Safety Information on page 3 for
information about Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning.
- ALWAYS provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm)
for each 100,000 Btu / Hr. (29 kW) of heater
output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters
are being used.

MAINTENANCE
Service:
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE
A COMPETENT SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS.
Use only original equipment parts. The use of
alternate or third party components can cause
unsafe operating conditions and will void your
warranty.
We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:
FUEL / FUEL TANK:
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed.
DO NOT ush with water; use fresh K-1 kerosene only.
AIR FILTERS:
The air intake lter should be replaced or washed
with soap and water and dried thoroughly every 500
hours of operation or less depending on conditions.
The output and lint lters should be replaced
every 500 hours of operation or less depending on
conditions (See Figure 3).
NOTE: Use of diesel fuel may require additional
maintenance
FAN BLADES:
Blades should be cleaned at least once per
heating season, depending on conditions.
Remove all accumulated dust and dirt with a
damp cloth, taking care not to bend any of the
fan blades. Be sure the blades are dry before
re-starting the heater.
FUEL FILTER:
The fuel filter should be cleaned at least twice
per heating season. Clean the filter by rinsing it in
clean K-1 Kerosene. Contaminated fuel could make
cleaning the fuel filter necessary immediately.
NOTE: To remove the filter from models 45 -
80T-KFA turn filter 90º clockwise. To remove the
filter from models 140T - 215T-KFA turn filter
90º counter-clockwise. See Figure 2.
THERMISTER PLACEMENT:
Ensure the thermister wire is in the proper place.
The wire should be lying on the bottom shell
inside the heater with the plastic end placed
under the motor support/motor and away from
fan blade.
ROTOR:
The rotor with carbon vanes should be evaluated
every heating season. The rotor is behind the air
filters. The vanes should be inspected for damage
or wear. The rotor should be inspected for
damage, chips, wear, cracks.
Check rotor gap: Remove the rear cover. Loosen
the two pump ring screws. Lift the pump ring
upwards. Insert a 0.1 mm feeler gauge and
apply slight downward pressure, enough to offer
resistance when attempting to remove gauge.
Hand-tighten the two pump ring screws. Re-install
the End Pump Cover and the plastic End Filter
Cover. Start the heater and adjust to the proper
pump pressure.
