WARNING
• FIRE, BURN, INHALATION, AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. KEEP
SOLID COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS,
PAPER OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE
HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THESE INSTRUCTIONS. NEVER
USE THE HEATER IN SPACES WHICH DO OR MAY CONTAIN
VOLATILE OR AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES, OR PRODUCTS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNERS, DUST
PARTICLES OR UNKNOWN CHEMICALS.
WARNING
• NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL USE.
WARNING
• Do not operate this heater until you have read, and thoroughly
understand these safety and operating instructions.
WARNING
• This heater is NOT suitable for use with Bio-Diesel; use of Bio-Diesel
will damage he filter and seals. Any damage caused by using Bio-
Diesel will not be covered by warranty
WARNING
Risk of indoor air pollution
• Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at least a three
square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every 100,000
BTU/hr of heater rating.
• People with breathing problems should consult a physician before
using the heater.
• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches, dizziness,
and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your heater may not be
working properly. Simply locate fan in safe, desired position on level
ground, and connect to approved power source.
• Get fresh air at once! Have the heater serviced. 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 influence of alcohol, or at high altitudes.

safety
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock!
• Use only the electrical power (voltage and frequency) specified on the
model plate of the heater. Use only a three- prong, grounded outlet
and extension cord.
• ALWAYS install the heater so that it is not directly exposed to water
spray, rain, dripping water, or wind.
• ALWAYS unplug the heater when not in use.
DANGER
Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
• Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure to
provide proper ventilation according to this manual can result in death.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu. Symptoms
of improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
• 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. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in more periodic
maintenance.

Operation
KEROSENE (1-K)
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.
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.
NOTICE
Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is clearly
marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is as-
sociated 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.
THEORY OF OPERATION

16
operation
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.
Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature
Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should the internal tempera-
ture 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: The heaters’ electrical system is protected
by a circuit breaker that protects the system components from damage. If
the heater fails, check the fuse first, and replace if necessary.
Flame Sensor: The heater uses a photocell to “see” the flame in the
combustion chamber. Should the flame extinguish, the sensor will stop
electrical current and the heater will shut off.

FUELING THE HEATER
It is always a good idea to fire the heater outdoors for the first
time. This will allow any oils used in the manufacturing process to
be burned off in a safe environment. This initial burn should last
at least 10 minutes
VENTILATION
Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater only in well
ventilated areas.
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.
of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are
being used. As an example, an PT-215T-KFA heater will require:
- a two-car garage door open 6 inches, or
- a single car garage open 9 inches, or
- two thirty two inch wide windows open fifteen inches.

Maintenance
Never service heater while it is plugged in
or while hot!
Use only original equipment replacement 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 every 200 hours of operation or as needed. Do not use
water to flush the tank. Use fresh 1-K kerosene only.
AIR FILTERS:
The Air Intake Filter 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 Filters should be replaced every 500 hours
of operation or less, depending on conditions.
NOTE: Use of diesel 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 fan blades are
dry before re-starting the heater. For Fan removal, see Figure
14.
