HIGH PRESSURE PORTABLE FORCED AIR
HEATER 350,000 AND 600,000 BTU/HR
FUELS
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
• carbon build-up on spark plug
• the need of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel
during very cold weather
IMPORTANT:
Use a KEROSENE ONLY
storage container. Be sure storage container
is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or
water will cause flame-out control to shut
down heater. Foreign matter may also re-
quire you to clean fuel system often.
WARNING: Use only kerosene
or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire
or explosion. Never use gaso-
line, naphtha, paint thinners, al-
cohol, or other highly flammable
fuels.
WARNING: Follow the mini-
mum fresh, outside air ventila-
tion requirements. If proper fresh,
outside air ventilation is not pro-
vided, carbon monoxide poison-
ing can occur. Provide proper
fresh, outside air ventilation be-
fore running heater.

Note:
If you use more than one heater,
provide extra fresh air. Provide a fresh air
opening of at least three square feet for each
100,000 Btu/Hr rating.
THEORY OF
OPERATION
The Fuel System: The motor turns the
fuel pump. The fuel pump pulls fuel from
the fuel tank. The fuel pump pushes fuel
through a filter and a solenoid valve and out
the burner head nozzle. A fine mist of fuel is
sprayed into the combustion chamber.
The Air System: The motor turns the fan.
The fan pushes air into and around the
combustion chamber. This air is heated and
provides a stream of clean, hot air.
The Ignition System: The electronic ig-
nitor sends voltage to the spark plug. The
spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
The Flame-Out Control System: This
system causes the heater to shut down if the
flame goes out. It also allows the fan to
continue running after normal shutdown of
heater. This cools the combustion chamber.
