5. OPERATION

 WARNING! Thisheaterisnotsuitableforusewithpetrol,para󰀩norBio-Diesel;useofBio-Dieselwilldamagethelterandseals.

Damage caused by use of Paran, Petrol or Bio-Diesel will not be covered by warranty.

5.1. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

5.1.1. Fuel system:Thisheaterisequippedwithahigh-pressurepump.Thepumpdrawsfuelupfromthefueltanktothenozzleintheburner

head. It is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist where it is mixed with air for combustion.

5.1.2. 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.

5.1.3. Air System:Ablowermotorassemblyforcesairaroundthecombustionchamber,whereitissuper-heatedandupandaroundthe 

 chamberduringoperationandalsorunsduringthecool-downperiod.

5.1.4. Electrical System Protection: The heater’s 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.

 WARNING! Air contaminants taken into the heater may affect the heat output, damage the unit and may cause health problems.

Example: Bodyshop filler dust/paint overspray will damage the motor bearing, clog the filter and compressor and contaminate

the combustion chamber causing flame flutter and health hazards. Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust/paint

overspray will not be covered by warranty. Additionally, a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust/

paint over spray.

5.2. VENTILATION:

 WARNING! Only use the heater in well ventilated areas. Careful consideration must be given to the placing of the heater to provide

safe and comfortable heating. Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area. A ventilation opening must run to

the outside of the premises in which the heater is to be operated.

The heater requires a fresh air opening of at least 3030cm².

For Example:

  -Atwocargaragedoorshouldbeopenatleast13cm.

  -Asinglecargaragedoorshouldbeopenatleast18cm.

  -Two76cmwindowsshouldbothbeopenatleast22cm.

5.3. STARTING THE HEATER

NOTE: If air has entered the fuel line; possible when new, when left standing

for a long period or when the tank level has fallen too low, priming may be

  necessary.Itispreferabletostarttheheateroutdoorsfortherst 

time, to allow any oils left over from the manufacturing process and

  transportingtobeburnto󰀨inasafeenvironment.Runitfor10minutes

  onthisrstburn.

5.3.1. Carefullyllthefueltankwithcleanapprovedfueluntilfull.

5.3.2. Ensure the fuel cap is secure.

5.3.3. Plug the power cord into a suitable power socket. If using an extension lead see

 ElectricalSafetysection1.1

5.3.4. Turnthe“ON/OFF”Switch“ON”(g.4).Theunitshouldbeonlineinafew 

seconds. If it is not, please refer to troubleshooting section.

NOTE: Intheeventofunitbeingturnedo󰀨duetorunningoutoffuel,turnthe 

 unito󰀨,allowtocoolforatleast5minutesrefuelandturnitbackon.

Although this heater operates with diesel fuel,

whenthetemperaturesarebelow0°C,diesel

additives are required to maintain the diesel's

viscosity. Typically diesel can cloud in freezing

conditionsandwillstarttogel.Youwillneed

additives for your fuel in these conditions.

Kerosene does not start to gel until the ambient

temperatureisaround-40°C.
