OPERATION WITH
PORTABLE GENERATOR
WARNING: Before operating
heater or any appliance from a
portable generator, verify that
generator has been properly
connected to earth ground. Im
-
proper grounding or failure to
ground generator can result in
electrocution if a ground fault
occurs. Refer to owner’s manual
supplied by generator manu-
facturer for proper grounding
procedures.
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 au
-
tomatic 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, page 5, for starting, stopping
and resetting heater procedures.
STORING,
TRANSPORTING OF
SHIPPING
Note: If shipping transport companies require fuel
tanks to be empty.
1. Drain all fuel from fuel lines and pump/filter
(see Fuel Filters, page 14).
2. Clean and flush fuel filter in fuel pump if
equipped (see Fuel Filters, page 14).
3. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.
4. Replace drain plug.
5. 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.
6. Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dis
-
pose of old and dirty fuel. Check with local
automotive service stations that recycle oil.
7. Add two gallons (350,000 Btu/Hr) or three
gallons (600,000 Btu/Hr) of clean kerosene
or #1 fuel oil to fuel tank.
8. Replace fuel cap.
9. Operate heater for 5 minutes (see
Operation,
page 5).
10. Stop heater and let cool completely.
11. Remove drain plug and drain fuel tank.
12. Replace drain plug.
13. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel.
14. If storing, store heater in a dry location. 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.
