This is a Kerosene (1-K Diesel) directed-fire forced air heater. It is primarily
intended for temporarily heating buildings under construction, alteration, or
repair. Directed-fired means that all of the combustion products of the
heater enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combustion
efficiency but does produce small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is toxic.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and precautions
should be taken to provide proper ventilation. According to this manual,
- 4 -
WARNING
failure to provide proper ventilation 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 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.
Risk of indoor air pollution!
-Use this heater only in well-ventilated areas! Provide at least a
three-square-foot (2800 sq cm) outside air opening for every 29KW/hr )

Operation
Kerosene (1-K Diesel)
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 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.
- 11 -
NOTE: Kerosene (1-K Diesel) should only be stored in a blue container
that is clearly marked “Kerosene (1-K Diesel))”. Never store Kerosene (1-K
Diesel) in a red container. Red is associated with gasoline.
-NEVER store Kerosene (1-K Diesel) in the living space. Kerosene (1-K
Diesel) 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 OREXPLOSION).
-NEVER store Kerosene (1-K Diesel) in direct sunlight or near a source
of heat.
-NEVER use Kerosene (1-K Diesel) heat has been stored from one season
to the next. It deteriorates over time.
OLD Kerosene (1-K Diesel) WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS
HEATER.
Use diesel in the heater. 1-K Kerosene is a suitable substitute.
THEORY OFOPERATION
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 ignition the fuel/air mixture as it is sprayed into the
combustion chamber.
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 it off should the internal temperature rise to an
- 12 -
unsafe level. If this device activates and turns your heater off, it may
require service.
You can start your heater once the temperature falls below the reset
temperature.
