ProTemp PT-70-SS - Manual (Page 6)

Ventilation
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-70-SS-A 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.
Operation
To Start the Heater
1. Fill the tank with kerosene until fuel gauge points to “F”.
2. Be sure fuel cap is secure.
3. Plug power cord into three prong, grounded extension
cord and plug extension cord into three prong 120v
grounded outlet. The extension cord should be at least
six feet long.
Extension cord wire size requirements are as follows:
- 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters), use 18 AWG wire.
- 11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.4 meters), use 16 AWG wire.
- 101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters), use 14 AWG wire.
4. Push the Operating switch to the “ON” position. The
power indicator lamp will light and the heater will start.
To Stop the Heater
1. Turn the Operating switch to “OFF” position.
Combustion will stop, and the Cooling Cycle (approx. 4-
5 minutes) will begin.
2. When Cooling Cycle is completed (fan stops running), it
is safe to unplug the heater.
- Unplugging the heater before the Cooling Cycle has
ended may cause overheating, damage to the heater,
and could void the warranty.
To Restart the Heater
1. Wait ten seconds after cooling cycle has completed.
2. Turn the Operating Switch to “ON” position.
3. Be sure to follow all starting procedure precautions.
Electrical Outlet
Shock Hazard!
- Never plug in an appliance with more than a 5 amp
rating into this outlet.
- Always keep outlet covered when not in use.
Maintenance
NEVER OPERATE THIS HEATER UNATTENDED!
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:
Filters - The Fuel Filter and Oil Filter should be cleaned at
least twice per heating season by rinsing it in clean 1-K
kerosene. Contaminated fuel could make this necessary
immediately (see Figure 6).
Do not disconnect the power source or
unplug the power cord until the cooling
cycle has been completed!

Do not use this product with any
accessory thermostat device or any
other device that will interrupt power to the heater and
bypass the required cool down cycle.
WARNING
NOTE: On first ignition or after refueling, you may hear a
grinding sound just before ignition. This is the fuel pump
removing the air from the fuel line. Your heater will start up
within seconds. If it does not start repeat Step #4 with fuel
gauge reading at least 1/2 tank.
NOTE: The electrical components of this heater are
protected by a fuse mounted in the PC board. If the heater
fails to fire, check this fuse first, and replace if necessary.
Also check the power source to be sure that the proper
voltage is being provided to the heater.
