A fan attached to the other end of the motor pushes air through the heater. Part of the air enters the combustion chamber and mixes with the atomized fuel to form a combustible mixture. The rest of the air passes over and around the combustion chamber. At the front of the heater it mixes with the hot air coming from inside the combustion chamber. This results in a jet of clean, heated airflow-ing out of the front of the heater. 3. Ignition System. A transformer provides high voltage to a spark plug which extends through the burner head into the combustion chamber. A constantly firing spark from the spark plug ignites the mixture of fuel and air. NOTE: The installation of this unit shall be in accordance with the regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction. 4. Control System. The control system is actuated by a light sensing, instantly reacting cell used in conjunction with the safety control to initiate a safety shutdown in the event of ignition or flame failure. In addition, the control system provides a period of blow operation after normal shutoff to purge and cool tlW combustion chamber. 5. A thermostat, mounted on the heater, will operate it in response to the temperature setting provided that the setting is higher than the surrounding air temperature. 1. Starting. a. Plug heater into adequate electrical outlet receptacle. b. Set the thermostat dial tothe desired temperature. Operation from this point on is automatic. 2. Stopping. a. Turn thermostat to lowest temperature setting. b. You can also stop the heater temporarily by setting the thermostat to a temperature lower than the surrounding air. c. The heater flame will go out immediately, but the thermal switch will keep motor operating long enough to enable the air flow from the fan to cool the combustion chamber. d. Do not unplug the heater as this deprives it of the purge (cooling) cycle. e. Stop the heater by unplugging it only after it has completed its purge (cooling) cycle. CAUTION: The heater should never be unplugged while in operation because this could cause damage to heater. The heater should not be restarted until the combustion chamber has cooled.

If the control falls to shut down the heater, it is defective and must be replaced. 7. After replacing control system components, test fire the heater to make sure it will function properly. If it does not, check ail wiring connections according to the wiring diagram, Figure 2. Repeat the testing procedure if necessary. TUNE UP To keep your heater in top operating condition, perform the following services at the start of each heater season then at the interval specified below: CLEAN AND/OR REPLACE FUEL FILTER Clean at least twice a season. More often if heater performance indicates the need. Replace if damaged. CLEAN FAN Clean fan after every 500 hours of operation. Clean more frequently if heater is operating in dusty areas or if there is a build-up of dirt on the blades. REPLACE BURNER NOZZLE Replace nozzle at least once during the heater season or more often if heater performance indicates the need. CLEAN AND ADJUST SPARK PLUG After every 300 hours of operation, clean and adjust spark plug electrodes. Adjust gap or replace the plug if electrodes have been burned, eroded ' or carboned. CLEAN PHOTO CELL ''lean the photo cell face with a soft cloth at least once jring the heater season. If cell face tends to soot up, check with your nearest service station to determine the cause. FUEL PUMP MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE 1. To check pressure, remove the hex head pipe plug from the port marked gauge on the fuel pump and install a pressure gauge. 2. If the pressure gauge does not read the correct pressure, plus or minus 5 PSI, when the motor is running and pumping fuel, adjust the pump. 3. Adjust the pressure on the side of the pump body marked pressure adjustment. To increase the fuel pressure, turn the slotted screw inside the port clockwise. To decrease the fuel pressure, turn the screw inside the port counterclockwise. After completion of the adjustment, remove the gauge and install the plug into the fuel pump. 4. If the fuel pressure cannot be adjusted, replace the pump. STORAGE CAUTION: Drain all fuel from tank before storing. 1. Drain all fuel from fuel filter, lines and pump. Clean and flush fuel filter with clean fuel. 2. Drain the fuel tank completely and add approximately one gallon of clean kerosene. Attach the fuel cap and move the heater forwards and backwards to circulate the fuel. Remove the drain plug and drain tank completely. 3. Replace drain plug and properly dispose of the old and dirty fuel. 4. Fill the fuel tank with 2 gallons (350,000 BTU/HR), or 3 gallons (600,000 BTU/HR) of kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil. Replace fuel cap. 5. Operate unit for 5 minutes. 6. Remove drain plug and drain tank compl...
