POWER SOURCE OR WHILE

CONNECTED TO A FUEL SOURCE.

Operation

KEROSENE (1-K)

For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested

that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to

virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a

rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or

#2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not

available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K

kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air

ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be

added to the heated space. Using diesel fuel can cause excess

soot production. DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved

above.

NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is

clearly mark ed “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red

container. Red is associated with gasoline.

- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be

stored in a well ventilated area outside the living area.

- NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas,

camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil compounds in this

heater (THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A

FIRE OR EXPLOSION).

- NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of

heat.

- NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to

the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time. OLD KEROSENE

WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

- Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a suitable substitute.

Electrical System Protection:

The heaters’ electrical system

is protected by a circuit breaker that protects the system

components from damage. If the heater fails, check the fuse first,

and replace if necessary.

Flame Sensor

The heater uses a photocell to “see” the flame

in the combustion chamber. Should the flame extinguish, the

sensor will stop electrical current and the heater will shut off.

FUELING THE HEATER

It is always a good idea to fire the heater outdoors for the first

time. This will allow any oils used in the manufacturing process to

be burned off in a safe environment. This initial burn should last

at least 10 minutes

THEORY OF OPERATION

Fuel System:

This heater is equipped with an air pump that

operates off of the electric motor. The pump forces air through
the air line connected to the fuel tank, drawing fuel to the nozzle
in the burner head. Air also passes through the nozzle where it
mixes with the fuel and is sprayed into the combustion chamber
in a fine mist.

Quick-Fire Ignition:

A transformer sends high voltage to a two

pronged spark plug. The spark ignites the fuel/air mixture as it is
sprayed into the combustion chamber.

Air System:

A fan is turned by the heavy duty motor, which

forces air around and into the combustion chamber, where it is
super-heated and forced out the front of the chamber.

Temperature Limit Control:

This heater is equipped with a

Temperature Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should the
internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device activates
and turns your heater off, it may require service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will
be able to start your heater.

at least 10 minutes

VENTILATION

Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater only in well

ventilated areas.

Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at

least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,000 BTU/Hr.

of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are

being used. As an example, an PT-215T-KFA heater will require:

- a two-car garage door open 6 inches, or
- a single car garage open 9 inches, or
- two thirty two inch wide windows open fifteen inches.
