PORTABLE FORCED AIR HEATER
115,000 Btu/Hr H.S.I. Series
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil
or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels will result
in a clogged fuel filter and/or nozzle.
IMPORTANT:
Use a KEROSENE ONLY
storage container. Be sure storage container is
clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or
water will cause the ignition control assembly
to shut down the heater. Foreign matter may
also require you to clean fuel system often.
Provide at least a three-square-foot opening
of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr
rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heaters
are being used.
Example:
A 115,000 Btu/Hr heater re-
quires one of the following:
a two-car garage door (16 feet wide open-
ing) raised three inches
a single-car garage door (9 feet wide
opening) raised five inches
two 30 inch wide windows raised eight
inches
FUELS
WARNING: Use only kerosene
or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire
