NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER

UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!

5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN

Fuel System: This heater is equipped with a Fuel

pump(Gear)that pulls fuel through the fuel line connected

to the fuel tank and then pushes fuel through a filter and a

solenoid valve and out the burner head nozzle.

This fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a

fine mist.

“Sure Fire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor sends

voltage to a specially designed spark plug.

The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.

The Air System: The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the

combustion chamber. This air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.

The Safety System:

A. Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to

turn off the heater should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level.

If this device activates and turns your heater off it may require service.

C. Flame-Out Sensor : Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal operation.

It will cause the heater to shut-off should the burner flame extinguish.
