Nozzle

The Fuel System:

The air pump forces air

through the air line. The air is then pushed
through the nozzle. This air causes fuel to
lift from the tank. A fine mist of fuel is
sprayed into the combustion chamber.

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 con-

trol assembly provides power to the ignitor.
This ignites the fuel/air mixture in the com-
bustion chamber.

The Flame-Out Control System:

This

system causes the heater to shut down if the
flame goes out.

THEORY OF OPERATION

WARNING: Use only kerosene

or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire
or explosion. Never use gasoline,
naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol,
or other highly flammable fuels.

FUELS

Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil
or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels will
result in:

• clogged fuel filter and nozzle

• the need of nontoxic anti-icer in fuel dur-

ing very cold weather

IMPORTANT:

Use a KEROSENE ONLY

storage container. Be sure storage container is
clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or
water will cause the ignition control assembly
to shut down the heater. Foreign matter may
also require you to clean fuel system often.

WARNING: Follow the mini-

mum fresh, outside air ventila-
tion requirements. If proper fresh,
outside air ventilation is not pro-
vided, carbon monoxide poison-
ing can occur. Provide proper
fresh, outside air ventilation be-
fore running heater.

VENTILATION

Provide at least a two-square-foot opening
of fresh, outside air for each 55,000 Btu/Hr
rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heat-
ers are being used.

Example:

A 55,000 Btu/Hr heater requires

one of the following:

• a two-car garage door (16-feet-wide

opening) raised 1

1

/

2

inches

• a single-car garage door (9-feet-wide

opening) raised 2

/

inches

• two windows (30-inches-wide opening)

raised 4
