3. Attach fuel cap.
4. Set thermostat dial to desired tempera-
ture.
Note: Thermostat setting must be
higher than surrounding air temperature.
5. Plug power cord of heater into three-
prong, grounded extension cord. Exten-
sion cord must be at least six feet long.
WARNING: Review and un-
derstand the warnings in the
Safety Information Section. They
are needed to safely operate this
heater.
WARNING: Use only a three-
prong, grounded extension cord.
Use cord with proper wire size to
assure 120 volt operation. See
Extension Cord Wire Size Re-
quirements below.
Extension Cord Wire Size
Requirements
6 to 100 feet long, use 14 AWG rated
cord
101 to 200 feet long, use 12 AWG rated
cord
201 to 300 feet long, use 10 AWG rated
cord
301 to 400 feet long, use 8 AWG rated
cord
401 to 500 feet long, use 6 AWG rated

Note: A cold heater may affect the termostat
setting. This thermostat is a general-heating
control. It is not intended for precise tem-
perature control. Adjust thermostat until
heater cycles at the desired setting.
Note: If starting heater for first time, you
may need to restart heater several times
before heater ignites. You may also have to
do this after taking heater out of storage. To
facilitate starting, remove the canister bot-
tom from the pump's fuel filter and fill with
fuel. Reassemble filter (see Pump Fuel
Filter, page 12).
CAUTION: Never unplug
heater while heater is running.
Heater must go through purge
cycle. The purge cycle cools the
combustion chamber. Damage to
heater can occur if combustion
chamber is not cooled. Do not
restart heater until purge cycle is
complete.
1. Turn thermostat dial to lowest tempera-
ture setting. This will cause heater
flame to go out. The motor will con-
tinue to run during the purge cycle. This
allows the fan to cool the combustion
chamber. When the purge cycle is
finished, the motor will stop. Do not
unplug heater until purge cycle is fin-
ished.
2. Unplug extension cord from outlet.
3. To temporarily stop heater, set thermo-
stat at a temperature lower than air
around heater. Heater will cycle back
on if air temperature around heater
matches thermostat setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
CAUTION: Do not restart
heater until purge cycle is
finished. The purge cycle cools
the combustion chamber.
1. Wait until purge cycle is finished after
stopping heater.
2. Repeat steps under To Start Heater.
Note: If shipping transport companies re-
quire fuel tanks to be empty.
1. Drain all fuel from fuel filters, fuel
lines, and pump (see Fuel Filters [Tank
Fuel Filter], page 12).
2. Clean and flush fuel filter and canister
attached to fuel pump (see Fuel Filters
[Pump Fuel Filter], page 12).
3. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.
4. Replace drain plug.
5. If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1
or 2 quarts of clean kerosene to tank,
stir, and drain again. This will prevent
excess debris from clogging filters dur-
ing future use.
6. Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Prop-
erly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check
with local automotive service stations
that recycle oil.
7. Add two gallons (350,000 Btu/Hr) or
three gallons (600,000 Btu/Hr) of clean
kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to fuel tank.
8. Replace fuel cap.
9. Operate heater for 5 minutes (see
Operation).
10. Stop heater and let cool completely.
11. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.
12. Replace drain plug.
13. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel.
14. If storing, store heater in a dry loca-
tion. Make sure storage place is free of
dust and corrosive fumes.
IMPORTANT: Do not store kerosene over
summer months for use during next heating
season. Using old fuel could damage heater.
