Usage Features

The Model 210 Space Heater is designed for straightforward operation with several key features:

Fuel Versatility: It can operate on kerosene, #1 or #2 fuel oil, or #1 diesel, offering flexibility in fuel choice.
Temperature Control: The unit includes a temperature control for adjusting the desired heat output.
High Limit Safety Switch: A safety mechanism designed to turn off the burner if the blower fails, preventing overheating. This switch should be adjusted to 125°F during pre-startup.
Portability: Equipped with wheels and a handle, the heater can be easily moved to different locations.
Clear Operating Instructions: The manual emphasizes reading all safety, unpacking, and operating instructions before use to ensure safe and effective operation.
Pre-Startup Procedures: Specific steps are outlined for the first-time operation, after repairs, or after extended periods of inactivity (30 days or more), including checking belt tension, reviewing safety guidelines, and adjusting the high limit safety switch.
Shutdown Procedure: A clear sequence for shutting down the heater is provided: turning off the burner switch, allowing cool air to circulate, and then turning off the blower switch before disconnecting from the electrical supply.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides a comprehensive maintenance schedule to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Model 210 Space Heater.

Daily Maintenance:

Fuel Level: Check and add fuel as needed, using a filter-screened funnel to prevent contaminants.
Belts: Inspect for cracks or fraying.

Hours Maintenance:

Fuel Filter: Inspect for water contaminants. If present, remove and replace the fuel filter as per the FUEL FILTER insert instructions.
Belt Tension: Check and adjust belt tension as specified in the MAINTENANCE section.

Hours Maintenance:

Fuel Filter Element: Remove and replace the fuel filter element.

Seasonal Maintenance (Storage):

Fuel Tank: Drain and flush the tank with clean fuel oil (do not use gasoline or water). Refill with specified fuel using a filter-screened funnel to prevent rusting from condensation.
Blower: Clean the blower as needed each season.

Detailed Maintenance Procedures:

Belt Tension Adjustment: Instructions are provided for checking belt deflection using a 6-pound force and adjusting tension by loosening/tightening motor nuts.
Oil Burner Maintenance (Oil Fired Cleaners):
- Air Band Adjustment: Procedures for adjusting the air band to achieve proper combustion, especially for different elevations. This involves loosening cap screws, moving air bands, and tightening them once the desired smoke spot (Shell-Bacharach scale) is achieved.
- Danfoss Pump Maintenance: Steps for cleaning the fuel pump strainer, including shutting off fuel, loosening screws, removing the strainer, cleaning dirt and rust, and reinstalling components.
- Sundstrand Pump Filter Maintenance: Similar steps for the Sundstrand pump, focusing on the fuel pump filter.
- Transformer Test: A detailed procedure for testing the ignition transformer, including checking for spark between electrodes, and replacing if necessary.
- Buss Bar Alignment: Instructions for inspecting and aligning buss bars and transformer electrodes to ensure proper contact.
- Burner Gun Removal & Installation: Steps for safely removing and reinstalling the burner gun, including checking and replacing electrode insulators, cleaning components, and ensuring proper nozzle installation.
- Electrode Assembly Adjustment: Precise measurements and steps for adjusting electrode tips relative to the oil nozzle and spray nozzle hole, ensuring optimal spark and combustion.
Fuel Filter Maintenance: Detailed instructions for disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, and reassembling the fuel filter, including checking gaskets, bowl rim, and filter element for damage or deterioration. It also provides a troubleshooting guide for common fuel filter issues like leaks and air ingress.

Safety Information:

General Safety: Emphasizes reading all instructions, operating only when alert, conforming to local codes, and disconnecting power before maintenance.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Warns against using the machine in enclosed areas without proper ventilation due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mechanical Safety: Highlights the importance of keeping guards in place, inspecting drive belts, and repairing damaged components.
Electrical Safety: Stresses electrical grounding, avoiding wet hands during plug-in/unplug-in, keeping cords dry, and using properly sized extension cords.
Fuel Safety: Warns against using incorrect fuels (e.g., gasoline), refueling while hot, and the importance of proper ventilation for combustion products.
Hot Discharges and Surfaces: Alerts users to avoid contact with hot parts during and after operation.
Open Flame Warning: Advises against operating in areas with combustible materials and recommends having a fire extinguisher nearby.
Confined Area Warning: Caution against operating in confined areas due to inadequate ventilation and potential health hazards.
Combustible Materials: Prohibits directing exhaust toward combustible or heat-sensitive surfaces and recommends a 10-foot clearance.
Low Voltage/Fuel Viscosity Troubleshooting: Provides remedies for issues like low voltage, viscous fuel, and defective fuel pump/motor.
Delayed Ignition Troubleshooting: Offers solutions for rumbling or noisy starts, including cleaning electrodes, adjusting air bands, and replacing fuel nozzles.
Burner Motor Reset: Instructs on resetting the burner motor and high limit temperature control, with a caution against repeatedly hitting the reset button if oil pressure is present, to avoid explosions.
