CONTROLS:
OPERATION PROCEDURE:
The unit’s controls are labeled and located on the burner cover.
1. Add Diesel, No.2 heating oil, or kerosene to the fuel tank, if a need is indicated by the fuel gauge.
Approved fuels can be mixed at any ratio.
2. Plug the unit’s power cord into a grounded extension cord capable of supplying proper amperage and
position the heater in a well ventilated area that provides safe clearances.
3. Press and hold the PRIME switch (located on the back side of the burner) until the fuel system is filled with
fuel and purged of air (pump becomes quieter, fuel begins to flow through the return line). NOTE: For a new
unit, or if the heater stopped because of low fuel, additional priming cycles may be necessary.
4. Toggle the control switch to the ON position.
5. The blower will begin to operate and run for 15 seconds prior to ignition (pre-purge).
6. After the burner ignites, the GREEN LIGHT on the control panel will illuminate, indicating that the burner
is on and the flame sensor can see the flame.
7. If the heater shuts off unexpectedly and the RED LIGHT on the control panel is illuminated, the unit must
be reset (by pressing the RESET button) before resuming operation. Do not reset the unit more than two (2)
times without troubleshooting the root cause of the issue. (see Troubleshooting section)
8. When shutting down the heater, turn power switch to the OFF position but DO NOT UNPLUG THE HEATER.
Allow the burner to complete the post-purge cycle (5 minutes) before disconnecting power.
Allow the heater to complete its post-purge of heat and fuel vapors to reduce the risk of a fire
hazard or damage to the unit.
Do not attempt to RESET the primary control of the heater more than twice. Stop and troubleshoot
the cause of the issue. Repeated attempts to reset the unit can cause a risk of fire.
Keep the unit on a level, non-combustible surface at all times. If the unit is resting at a 25° angle or more, the
tip switch will turn the heater off and/or prevent the heater from starting.
For a new unit, the first hour of operation may produce light smoke and odor as dust and
manufacturing lubricants are cleared from the system. This should dissipate with continued
use.
