CAUTION: DO NOT add fuel while the heater is
hot or operating. DO NOT use diesel, No. 2 fuel
oil, gasoline, crank case drainings, naphtha,
paint thinner, alcohol, or other highly volatile
fuels. Toxic fumes could be created by using
non-recommended fuels.
FILLING FUEL TANK
Remove cap (A) from fuel tank and fill with kerosene
or No. 1 fuel oil.
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2
Diesel. Using heavy fuels will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle due to fuel gelling
• carbon build up on spark plug
Do not use No. 3 fuel oil or heavy oils such as crank
case drainings. These heavy oils will not ignite
properly and will contaminate the heater.
Fueling
• Personnel involved with fueling shall be qualified
and thoroughly familiar with the manufacturer’s
instructions and applicable federal, state, and local
regulations regarding the safe fueling of heating units.
• Only the type of fuel specified on the heater’s
data plate shall be used.
• All flame, including the pilot light, if any, shall be
extinguished and the heater allowed to cool, prior to
fueling.
• During fueling, all fuel lines and fuel-line connec-
tions shall be inspected for leaks. Any leaks shall
be repaired prior to returning the heater to service.
• At no time shall more than one day’s supply of
heater fuel be stored inside a building in the vicinity
of the heater. Bulk fuel storage shall be outside the
structure.
• All fuel storage shall be located a minimum of 25
feet (7.62 m) from heaters, torches, welding equip-
ment, and similar sources of ignition (exception: the
fuel reservoir integral with the heater unit).
• Whenever possible, fuel storage shall be con-
fined to areas where floor penetrations do not
permit fuel to drip onto or be ignited by a fire at
lower elevation.
• Fuel storage shall be in accordance with the
federal, state, or local authority having jurisdiction.
