As viscosity increases, the thicker oil can cause
delayed ignition, poor spray patterns, and
rumbling fires. As moisture will quickly
destroy fuel pumps, make certain that tank
openings are secure and moisture cannot
enter. In cold weather areas, frost build up will
occur in fuel tanks. As the weather warms it
turns to condensate, and the water will be in
the tank. Keep the tank clear of water, as
moisture reaching the fuel pump will cause
rust, and the pump will bind. A full fuel tank
will lessen condensation build up.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
PRE START-UP
The first time the machine is operated, after
repairs have been made, or if the machine has set
for a period of time (30 days or more) follow the
following procedures.
1. Check the tension of the belt per instructions
in MACHINE MAINTENANCE.
2. Read and observe all items in “SAFETY” and

of adapter. If the correct type of receptacle is
not available, have one installed by a qualified
electrician.
3. BELT (if so equipped): Make sure belt tension
and condition is as specified in
MAINTENANCE.
4. FUEL FILTER: Inspect fuel filter for
evidence of water contaminants.
5. FUEL: Use only Kerosene, #1 or #2 fuel oil, or
#1 Diesel. The use of incorrect fuel may result
in fire or explosion and severe injury to the
operator.
6. FUEL QUANTITY: Make sure the fuel supply
is sufficient to complete the job. See the
GENERAL section of MODEL
SPECIFICATIONS for the fuel tank capacity.
7. TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Adjust the
temperature control to the desired
temperature. (if so equipped)
8. HIGH LIMIT SWITCH: The high limit safety
switch is designed to turn off the burner if the
blower fails. Adjust the high limit safety.

area. Indications of inadequate ventilation
are headache, dizziness, burning eyes and
nose, nausea, dry mouth, or sore throat.
9. Adjust the temperature control to desired
temperature. (if so equipped)
CAUTION: DO NOT DIRECT EXHAUST TOWARD
ANY COMBUSTIBLE OR HEAT SENSITIVE
SURFACE SUCH AS BUILDING MATERIALS,
PAPER, PLASTICS, OR CARDBOARD. KEEP
AT LEAST TEN FEET AWAY FROM SUCH
ITEMS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE IN SUCH
AREAS CONTAINING VOLATILE OR
AIRBORNE COMBUSTIBLES. OTHER
PRODUCTS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
