Operation (Continued)
TO STOP HEATER
Never unplug
heater while
heater is running. Heater must go
through purge cycle. The purge cycle
cools the combustion chamber. Damage
to heater can occur if combustion
chamber is not cooled. Do not restart
heater until purge cycle is complete.
1. Turn thermostat dial to lowest
temperature setting. This will cause
heater flame to go out. The motor
will continue to run during the
purge cycle. This allows the fan to
cool the combustion chamber. When
the purge cycle is finished, the motor
will stop. Do not unplug heater until
purge cycle is finished.
2. Unplug extension cord from outlet.
3. To temporarily stop heater, set
thermostat at a temperature lower
than air around heater. Heater will
cycle back on if air temperature
around heater matches thermostat
setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
Do not restart
heater until purge
cycle is finished. The purge cycle cools
the combustion chamber.
1. Wait until purge cycle is finished
after stopping heater.
2. Repeat steps under To Start Heater,
page 5.

8. The motor will start when extension
cord is plugged into outlet. The
heater should ignite at once. If
heater does not ignite, restart
heater. To restart heater, wait 60
seconds, then push in flameout
control reset button. Flameout
control reset button is at rear of
heater near power cord (See Figure 6).
NOTE: If starting heater for first time,
you may need to prime the pump. If
equipped, slightly open the bleeder
valve of the pump to allow air to
escape. Quickly close the valve once
fuel is seen. Wipe up excess fuel. If
equipped with canister fuel filter,
remove the canister bottom and fill
with fuel. Reassemble filter. Wipe up
any excess fuel. You may also have to
do this after taking heater out of
storage.
Before operating
heater or any
appliance from a portable generator,
verify that generator has been properly
connected to earth ground. Improper
grounding or failure to ground genera-
tor can result in electrocution if a
ground fault occurs. Refer to owner’s
manual supplied by generator manu-
facturer for proper grounding proce-
dures.
The operating voltage range of the
heater is 108 to 132 Volts (120 Volts +/-
10%). Prior to plugging heater into
generator the output voltage should
be verified (if generator is equipped
with the automatic idle feature, the
output voltage should be measured
with the generator running at full
speed). If the voltage does not
measure in this range the heater
should not be plugged into the
generator.
Refer to Operation on page 5 for
starting, stopping, and resetting heater
procedures.
