STORING,
TRANSPORTING,
OR SHIPPING

Note:

If shipping, transport companies re-

quire fuel tanks to be empty.

Drain fuel tank.

Note:

This model has a drain plug on

underside of fuel tank. Remove drain
plug to drain all fuel. Be sure all fuel is
removed.

Replace drain plug.

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 dur-
ing future use.

Replace fuel cap and drain plug. Prop-
erly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check
with local automotive service stations
that recycle oil.

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.
