• Locate heater on a level and stable surface.

WARNING
Only use heater in well ventilated areas. Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the heater operating area via windows and doors etc. If people are not required to be present in the heated area, the volume of air to be heated m³/heat o utput kW ratio must be at least 10:1 and people must be advised not to remain in the heated area for prolonged periods. If people are required to be present in the heated area, the volume of air to be heated (m³)/heat output (kW) ratio must be at least 30. Ventilation must be to the outside of the premises in which the heater is to be operated. The total open area (m²) must be at least 0.003 times the total heat output (kW). The volume concentration of oxygen O in the heated room, must always remain above 17%.

• Using an approved siphon, remove the diesel.
• Using a small amount of diesel, rinse and swirl the fuel inside the fuel tank.
• Empty the tank completely.

NOTE
Never mix water with fuel, it will cause rust inside the tank.

IMPORTANT
Never store leftover fuel between seasons, using old fuel can damage heater.  Store Heater in a dry, well ventilated area. Be sure that the storage area is free o f dust and corrosive vapours. Repack the heater in the original packaging and keep user’s manual in an easily accessible place.

FUEL / FUEL TANK

Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed. DO NOT flush with water, use fresh paraffin (to flush NOT to fuel) only.

NOZZLES

• Nozzles should be cleaned or replaced at least once per heating season. Contaminated fuel could make this necessary immediately.
• To clean dirt from nozzle, blow compressed air through nozzle front. it may be necessary to soak nozzle in clean paraffin or diesel to help loosen any particles.

FLAME SENSOR

The photocell should be cleaned at least once per heating season or more depending on conditions, use a cotton swab and water or alcohol to clean the lens of the photocell. Ensure the sensor is fully engaged when replacing it.

FILTERS

The fuel filter and oil filter should be cleaned at least twice p er heating season by rinsing it in clean paraffin or diesel. Contaminated or old fuel could make cleaning necessary immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Athough our heaters operate 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.
