STORAGE LOCATION AND MAINTENANCE
Note: If shipping, transport companies require fuel
tanks to be empty.
1. Drain fuel tank.
Note: Some models have drain plug on underside of
fuel tank. If so, remove drain plug to drain all fuel. If
heater does not have drain plug, drain fuel through
fuel cap opening. Be sure all fuel is removed.
2. Replace drain plug if provided.
3. If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2
quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir, and drain
again. This will prevent excess debris from clogging
filters during future use.
4. Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dis-
pose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local automo-
tive service stations that recycle oil.
5. If storing, store heater in dry place. Make sure
storage place is free of dust and corrosive fumes.
IMPORTANT: Do not store kerosene over summer
months for use during next heating season. Using
old fuel could damage heater.
When taking heater out of storage, perform the
following maintenance procedures. Refer to
Periodic

ration and damage.
